Not likely.  All signs point to him staying in the SHL for now

Yeah he just confirmed that he's staying with the SHL for another season.

Ha Ha Ha, And Copp, Chiarot, Holl and Husso tell you to get bent. They're not waiving for that dumpster fire.

Which begs the question if those dumpster fires all have any form of no move why did our GM do such a thing.

Moritz Seider's status with the Wings has hampered his ability to suit up for his national team. Seider is also a restricted free agent, and given his new contract projects to be worth in the $9 million annually range,

Mo should give the team a more friendly deal. But we do know who his agent is!

What surprises you about this number? In a good way or a bad way? Everything I've seen has him projected between $8.5-9.5m. I personally believe Yzerman will get him in on the lower end maybe even slightly below the floor but $9m is definitely within range.

You may not recognize this if youre new to hockey, but those are our best defensive players. You cant gut the team of those guys and expect good results. Furthermore, moving all those contracts is something that happens on xbox, not in the actual NHL bud.

Well, that didn't take long.

The video of him "pumping up" the team by saying just have fun out there and enjoy it was pretty damning. This is why you dont let soy boys coach. 

[Motor City Mullets 303]

Wow - they fired him...I was certain he was staying on board.

Seriously, what's he going to say to (5) guys taking up 60% of the cap that are built for Womens Hockey and 18 guys wondering why they're not playing more.

Those players haven't been listening since they turned 15 years old.  If I was the Leafs coach, I'd play Marner at Defense with Reilly, and play Matthews-Tavares-Nylander at forward.  Play those (5) 35 Minutes a night basically distributing the minutes per salary.  Then maybe Tavares and Marner would take some deals that make a little more sense.  We made the same mistake overpaying Debrincat that Toronto is making with their soy boys.  The guy is a power play specialist that offers very little in the way of 5 on 5 play.  That doesn't go a long way in the playoffs.  You need to have 3rd and 4th lines that can grind in goals once the playoffs start.  The Drapers, Browns, Maltbys, and McCartys make the difference once you hit May.  But if you pay players 11 mil a year, it's tough to justify playing them 14 minutes a night.  Toronto needs to let go of Tavares and Marner this offseason and pick up some guys that can do dirty work in the playoffs.  They won't though.  SAME OLD MAPLE LEAFS.

Must be getting ready to move on, right? That's what these mean, right?

Not at all what these mean. Unless you also think Larkin, Raymond, Seider, Debrincat, Compher, etc whov all made similar comments/posts are all moving on as well.

[Jimmybigrigs69 370]

Why would Veleno be moving on?

Because he only put up 28pts in the bottom6 last season making a whopping $850k and hes probly gonna demand a raise of around $600k.

Yzerman is known to hate these hard working grinding type players he prefers players with more skill like Zadina and Berggren.

[AtlantaHotWings 1,126]

and as expected

IF we could acquire Andersson then also re-sign Kane, sign Domi and Bertuzzi, we'd be in good shape for a playoff run. But we'd definitely need to shed some cap before this can happen! If we dealt Husso, I'd even try to sign Samsonov from Toronto. No doubt they are looking for changes!

Top 6

Bertuzzi - Larkin - Raymond

Kane - Domi - DeBrincat

Top 4

Walman - Seider

Edvinsson - Andersson

G's

Samsonov

Lyon

You'd still get younger by having Berggren, Edvinsson, Johansson on the team.

How would 2 losers from another underachieving Maple Leafs team improve this team in any significant way?

He isn't. Replacing him with a similar NHL player would probably cost more.

You're aggressively obnoxious... and still wrong.
