  1. On the "left wing" thing… Svechnikov plays a lot on the left and shoots left, but they might have him listed as RW because he also plays both sides. Pretty much all of Carolina's 1st and 2nd line wingers can play (and have played) both sides. Depending on upcoming moves, the winger group is: Svechnikov, Jarvis, Teravainen, Necas, Bunting, Fast, Martinook, and then whatever happens on the bottom line. How they mix and match in the Rod Blend'Amour system remains to be seen. But I wouldn't look at it as a "deficit on the left side" because that's just not how they deploy wingers.

  2. This is ridiculous money for Bunting he will never score 23 again not with Carolina

  3. without Matthew's and Marner you really think Bunting is half that player next year…

  4. all the best for MB. he earns his money each and every night. I hope i see his first goal against the Loafs

  5. When bunting first arrived he did his job very well and he embarrassed Defenses so they took cheap shots at him and he drew penalties. But the refs started listening to the whining teams complaining and then he became the one getting the penalties for doing the same thing he has done since the start. With no National TV game in Carolina the refs reaction to him in Carolina should get interesting.

  6. Towards the end of last year, & during the playoffs, the referees wouldn't let him play. And so the Leafs couldn't play him.

  7. Holl gone, no big loss, but Ryan O'Reilly, Noel Accairi, Michael Bunting, Eric Kallgren, Luke Schenn…gone, and gone. We're being decimated here and have Reaves to show for it. Let's not forget that Marner, Matthews, Nylander are all sitting on huge contracts over the next year or so starting today, and we could lose all of them too, and be left with Taveres….another fifty-six year drought…back-to-back. Be worse off than the Coyotes. We'll end up being at $60M for four guys,and have the AHL rotating in our team to dress twenty guys.

    Hoping that Treliving has an Ace or two up his sleeve!

  8. leafs wont do much for this season… its all about next season when they buy out tavares and then truly begin hunting some bigger fish… its sad but its true

  9. Kraken have 20$m, haven’t signed anyone but a few of their own. Guess they’ll be the new,home of Willy

  10. Watched a few of these today and i have to say Steve seems salty! Do not blame him though as it seems Leafs are spiraling a bit

  11. Trade him to Calgary for Hanifin or Tanev straight up . Unless you would prefer Lindholm or Markstrom ?

  12. Little rough on the insight here. Hurricanes have enough money to keep the team as is with bunting and orlov only. Also Noesen is signed with us. Excited to see Bunting in the red and black, he will look good with necas and KK on line 2.

  13. The refs sure aren’t fans of Bunting but it’s clear they’re no fans of Rod Brind’Amour either.

    I’m thinking either they both find a way to make peace with the refs or it’ll be a long season if the PK isn’t near the top of the NHL as it has been these past couple of years.

    I’m kind of nervous about this one. I think I’d reverse course on bringing back TDA and keep Pesce instead and still find some way to get another proven scorer.

    How that happens I have no idea.

  14. Rod isn't in the HHOF, but HE SHOULD BE!!

    and Jordan Staal has never played LW for the canes. He takes faceoffs when he's on the ice lol. I appreciate the effort but you have a ways to go outside of leafs world.

  15. Leafs fans should be happy they don't have to babysit this tremendous liability and most immature player in the league lol

  16. Yea i really doubt bunting will get 50 points again without playing with marner/matthews, the guy did not produce at all when he wasnt playing with those 2

  17. I like how Steve out right admitted he doesn't know what he's talking about by only bringing up how Martinook was waived and not his playoff performance
