Is he sick or being held out? Hasn’t he been skating on his own for awhile now?

Toronto has just four picks remaining in the first three rounds of the next three drafts.
Stan Bowman school of GMing?

Well then, fuck off. He plays out the string with the Hawks, and then that's it. He goes elsewhere next year if he still wants to play. Money comes off the books so shitheads Danny Wirtz and Jaime Faulkner can continue being stupid.

Would a Leafs “insider” have interest in saying there is one less center on the market after they had ROR deal in place for a few days now?

Money comes off the books so shitheads Danny Wirtz and Jaime Faulkner can continue being stupid. I'd give him an offer. He captained the Hawks to three Cups. Of course the offer has to mirror his current ability (and likelihood of staying healthy). Give him what Jason Dickinson makes and he can stay.

Shanahan might be feeling the heat too. So all chips in the middle and fuck the future. Toews wasn’t gonna fetch much being sick so much anyways so if he does somehow get moved I’m not expecting much back.

The NHL should really look at closing that loophole...its a bad look I’m not against that but like always closing that one would open up another one…the GMs find a way. Maybe just wipe out their cap hit once it’s independently, medically confirmed they’ll never play again, and make the player officially retire with the provision that they can keep the salary contracted to them when they were still active. Something like that.

So they'd get the money, but it wouldn't count towards the players' 50%? Why would the owners agree to that? The LTIR guys are now taking money from active players.

Whatever, the gist of it is you have to incentivize retiring officially somehow so that it would wipe their hit off a teams books. Otherwise it’s Not going anywhere.
