So, I didn’t read the article, but how does one sell an apartment?
I always had to rent those.
@bring the fire . Didn’t McDavid play 82 games last year?
Ignore them, or taunt them. Their jealousy is so amusing. Especially Leafers. They know in their hearts that no matter how good Matthews is, he’s not McDavid good. The funniest part of it is that he’s going to want $12.5M/yr too. And the Leafs will pay it. Because…Leafs.
Arizona will offer sheet him 15 Million and that is what Matthews will cost the Leafs. Marner and Nylander are better than Johnny Hoggy and they will cost 7-8 Million each based on 8 years.
So at $15M you’re saying that Mathews is better than MickyD? Sure, If you say so I will agree that Mathews in the NEXT generational talent.
Read would you. When it’s time to sign him the salary cap will be up and if he is offer sheeted it will be for 15 Million for 8 years. If the leafs sign him early like Macdavid was it will cost them 12.5 plus for 8 years if he even wants to stay in Toronto. The Oilers have the 2 best fowards in the league right now. -uckhead.
His name is MickyD Man Crush?
Oh by the way your mom says hi.
Laffs and Coilers will play each other in the SC Cup final within the next few years, the league will make sure it happens.
I would think the lames would be the most help to the Oiler’s in making their.
Edit button- there
Marleau? Seriously Marleau for leadership? Half way thru October Marleau the Magician pulls his disappearing act and gets benched by Babs. Three years of that? Really. hahaha.
Calgary still needs a goalie. Yeah I know; Mike Smith. Calgary needs a goalie. Maybe bring in Luongo to help the young guy learn how to win.
calgary needs 2 goalies and some offence. Will Burke become GM @ x-mas? flames are are chasing a wildcard spot at best.
Obvious troll is obvious.
And oblivious.
And obviated by my presence.
Flames in the Conference Finals after the Coilers lose McWhashisface to injury and their season becomes an absolute shuttle crash and they miss the playoffs.
You should ask how to sell the farm instead of an apartment, because by the time x-mas rolls around and the lames are still out and chasing a wildcard spot (by the way the Jet’s will have it), Burke will have to make big trades because Treliving will kicking cow turds down the streets of S#&t town.
Thanks for stopping by DIKAL. Maybe you should dismount the ? and zip up your pants before chiming in. As they say, don’t text and drive.
Mcwashhisface?? That’s brilliant?
Yeah, the best Mcwhatshisface you’ll ever see. Go get Johnny a high chair.
