Source tells me there's a "very big chance" Wayne Gretzky will become a top executive in Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment. #Leafs

I saw the prediction for a big shakeup at MLSE (top execs).

Are Gretzky and Leiweke close? Does this mean clearing out vintage Leaf photos from the ACC and replacing them with vintage Gretzky/Oilers photos??

Everything will be replaced with photos of Gretzky highsticking Gilmour.

He had 2 game 7 goals darn it.
Zee said:I'd rather not give Franson $4M+ after only a half season of good play. A season ago he wasn't even a regular and now suddenly he wants huge cash? If they can make a good trade for him I have no issues letting him go given that Ranger is now signed.

I think it's just an assumption based on the market.
Nik the Trik said:I'm not really convinced that any of it, the buyouts or Clarkson's deal or the cap crunch in general is what we're talking about. If the Leafs really want to fit Franson in I think they'll be able to. The issue, as CF sort of alludes to, is whether or not you want to sign Franson to a multi-year deal on the basis of the 55 games we just saw at the price he's likely to be asking.
I'm guessing that this isn't the first time Nonis has spoken to Franson's agent and what we're hearing about now is Franson not wanting to come down to wear Nonis thinks he fits. If that's the case the Leafs could have all the cap space in the world and it wouldn't matter.

His value is pretty inflated thanks to his offensive numbers from this past season, so the return should be pretty decent. That being said, his defensive play is was still questionable and, while he did seem more physical, I feel like he left himself out of position more often because of it. If Ranger can get anywhere near the form he had with the Lightning, he replaces most of Franson's offence while being a little more responsible defensively. And, with the rumblings being that Franson is asking for $4M+ . . .
princedpw said:Of course, we dont know what is in Nonis brain and I wont try to speculate because he has done a bunch of things that I vehemently disagree with. But ignoring that, it could be the case that literally, the buyouts and cap space do make the difference *this year* between keeping all the guys you want going forward at prices you think are reasonable going forward. Everyone predicts the cap will rise dramatically soon. eg, franson tight this year but sensible in the following years.
