Maybe when we're healthier? I feel like sometimes (regularly...) we need more batters out of Varland. He is almost too dependable to 'waste' as a closer right now. I'd kind of assumed that Rogers would steal the closer spot.

Yeah, I wasn't trying to give you flak. That said, with my luck, my suggestion for anyone playing daily is to play McLean over Mis today as I did the opposite 😜

So here's my issue. (Hopefully because you consider the rest to be must starts?) You only hit on 2 of my SP & 1 is the guy that I'm probably going to sit (McLean) & Soriano.
Webb (sat last week, gets the Nats), Mis (2 start), Sale & DeGrom are my others, so I think that McLean takes a seat this week

I was worried about most of his production being in the one game and picked up Cam Smith instead.
Thoughts?

I thought so! :)
Given the uncles of Leaf nation, the 2nd one had a solid foundation in reality too, but thet both look sooooo bad in retrospect

Also, I think judging by likes on a platform where people are constantly told 'there is no algorithm, likes don't matter' may not be the best measuring stick. I 'like' a lot less over here than I did in the beginning. Probably only a small factor but I feel like it's in there

"Sundin - Gilmour - Muller will be the best centre depth in the league"
Leafs start something like 1-8-1

Right after the trade "Tucker will be captain here"

There was a 3rd one around the same. I was on a roll. Those were the days of forums. I posted thes opinions publicly.

I'm simply amazed that by bringing on a Fox News host as the Secretary of Defense you get someone more worried about an unflatttering photo than murdering 200 girls in their school

I do feel a little like 'regular' folks, especially those with common names should opt out too

Still don't understand why they didn't start with a small (non) risk and claim Holtz when you know that you're trading away 3 forwards

31

The pick in 2027 will be the later selection of the Winnipeg or Columbus 2027 second-round picks

It's the worse of 2 2nd rounders, isn't it?

and the 2nd is 2027

Holtz goes unclaimed? Seems dumb

Won't happen, but hope is eternal

Jan 27th I texted the boys:
"I'd seriously look forward to the Thrun, Benning, Mermis, Myers, Rifai, whatever overpaid guy we get forced on us to balance salaries D corps to finish the season"
Similar feeling up front though there are at least a couple of keepers there

If the Leafs were in a playoff spot, this player would not be available

I know that the timelines alone make this untrue but the lifetime Leaf fan in me can't help but feel that the protected picks thing is solely other teams not wanting to be able to point to their own Neidermeyer & Seguin.
Also, it's gotten crazy, they'll soon be trading picks that could slide to 2030

Not Wendie Malick?

Unwarranted concern, it appears to indeed be Tage Thompson

US hockey team with Karoline Leavitt? One wearing a MAGA cap.

and 20 posts down:

There's a group pic with I think Leavitt or Bondi. Someone tall that I don't recognise was wearing a MAGA hat. Don't want to guess and tar & feather the wrong guy.

One of them even wore a MAGA cap. Not even plausible deniability

Extra funny because that's what my wife (who watches as little hockey as possible) umprompted said Brady looks like

Goalie & 'clutch' is weird. (I don't believe clutch is a thing) He shows up better in these tourneys than otherwise BUT even if you accept that, should a goalie 20% better than 2026 Jordan Binnington be anywhere near the net in an elimination game?

And all these guys who would only marry a virgin expect anyone they date to put out.
How does the math work on that?

Even these morons have to realise that every US dollar put into Alberta separation isn't about independence, it's to create Puerto Rico / DC North*
*now with oil

Mine is that + Robertson & JT
Nick can go too but I expect that he'll do more for us than he'll fetch.
Obviously not everyone goes but I'm honestly fine if our D to end the year is Thrun, Benning, Rifai, Myers, Mermis plus whatever overpaid old guy(s) that gets forced on us to increase return
