I dont know if it will be exciting to watch considering the Cane’s style. Did you guys know they have the best PK unit since Brind’Amour took place behind the bench. Yup, that makes it 7 years in a row with the title. It says a lot about the coaching style imposed by Rod!

That's very impressive. I wonder what % of all NHL goals are power play goals? I think this might be a question for Alexa.
I asked my AI assistant and got this answer:

"As of the 2022-2023 NHL season, approximately 20-25% of all goals scored in the NHL occur during power plays. This proportion can vary slightly from season to season based on factors like team performance, rule changes, and the overall scoring environment in the league. Historically, power play scoring has been an important aspect of NHL games, often influencing game outcomes significantly. For the most accurate and current statistics, checking the latest season data from the NHL would be advisable."

The Athletic Reporting Marner is Done in Toronto:
The article basically says good riddance.
Mitchell Marner is about to become a very wealthy man in July. He’ll be able to live & play anywhere he wants except Toronto. Players who regularly score 100 points in a season & are considered among the top 10 players in hockey rarely are available on the market. Especially this season when the crop of UFA. Marner will be the top UFA on the market & will be getting offers between 13-14 million $$ per season. There may even be teams who may want to make him the highest paid player in the NHL until Mcdavid’s gets the honor next year. Should be interesting where he lands up!

Here is an interesting article on the Mitch Marner sweepstakes. With Jack Eichel going to the Rangers after next year, I like Vegas's chances. Instead of rolling the dice in Vegas, roll them in Vegas:

There is a lot of buzz about Marner signing with the Mammoth. If he does, he will not need to change uniform colors:
The above article exposes Marner for what he is, a stat juicer who has benefitted from having Austin Matthews convert his passes for assists.

I heard a lot of buzz also about Utah, Montreal, Florida, Tampa, Chicago, Vegas, Pittsburgh & San Jose. I still believe he’ll likely re- sign with Toronto. You just cannot replace a player like him in the lineup & claim you’re trying to win a Cup. Might as well start rebuilding. Many Leafs fans don’t realize it yet but the whole team revolves around Marner. He feeds Matthews. He runs the powerplay. He’s the #1 penalty killer. He’s one of the few leaders they have. He’s the only player on the team good enough to play for Team Canada. Most importantly he’s from the area & loves playing there in an era where Toronto & other Canadian teams are more often than not on most NHl players’ no-trade lists.

Anyways a partial rebuild may be where they’re heading if rumours that MLSE has granted Brendan Shanahan permission to speak with the NY Islanders to take on a similar job with that organization. If Shanahan leaves it’s likely only a matter of time until GM Brad Treeliving leaves which means that coach Craig Berube would be next to go. Auston Matthews has three more seasons left to go on his current contract & would likely leave also. I honestly can’t see Matthews production not decreasing dramatically if Marner isn’t playing next to him. Breaking up these two would be similar to breaking up the Sedin twins! Of course you’ll upset many Leafs fans if you re-sign Marner. But all they have to do is do what i did & switch teams. It’s not that hard to do. It’s like breaking up with a partner you’re unhappy with & hooking up with someone else you hope will make you happy.

Agree 100%, Marner plays a much bigger part than Matthews in the Leaf’s game. He definately has more leadership since Matthews leadership is non-existent.

Can TAVARES be the one who is going to leave????
Quite possible. He 100% wants to stay with the Leafs & if he does it looks like it would be a 1-yr deal for at least half his current salary. If the Leafs want him back of course. However he had a very productive season & he’ll likely get much better offers elsewhere so i say it’s 50-50 if he stays. If he does it will likely mean he left a lot of money on the table.
