It’s after the lottery from my understanding. So let’s say Leafs finish 7th worst and move up two spots in the lottery, Toronto would keep the pick. If they move up one and pick 6th, Boston gets it.
Reverse standings update:
#LeafsForever are now just 1 point up on 4 teams, with 3 of them still battling for a playoff spot in the West. Only 2 points up on FLA. If they can finish 6th or 7th from the bottom they’ll have a real chance at some lottery luck for a top-5 pick.
How are there 11 teams worse than these Maple Leafs in the standings?
Just realized if the Leafs end up trading OEL and retain a portion of the contract, he’d have a cap hit on the books for 4 different teams:
- Utah
- Vancouver
- Toronto
- New team
#LeafsForever
Oilers have now given up 4 goals 31 times this season. That's exactly 50% of their games. #LetsGoOilers
Players with less trade protection than Calle Jarnkrok:
- Alex Tuch
- Ryan O'Reilly
- Rickard Rakell
- Boone Jenner
- Teuvo Teravainen
- Conor Garland
- Brandon Carlo
- Pavel Zacha
- Samuel Girard
- Jason Zucker
Just 8:23 for Easton Cowan tonight. Let the kid play. Make it make sense. #LeafsForever
Sunday Overreactions for @Sportsnet
The Panthers have to make a decision on pending UFA Sergei Bobrovsky. Should they trade him before the deadline? A team that's already loaded with good contracts has a chance to get creative in goal. #TimetoHunt

Remember when Colorado switched both its goalies out last year and it instantly made them better? I think the reverse is happening with the Oilers. #LetsGoOilers

Three goals overturned by video review and opponents hitting two posts on breakaways with an empty net, and the Leafs were still outscored 9-3 in their first two games out of the break. If it's not time to sell now I don't when it would be.
At this point the most important trade the #LeafsForever can make is moving out Calle Jarnkrok for anything. If only so Craig Berube may have no other choice but to play Easton Cowan.
Penguins now have 9 second round picks and all their firsts over the next four drafts. They could easily trade a second rounder or two to add at the trade deadline and not damage a rebuild. #LetsGoPens
MacKinnon open net. McDavid and Celebrini breakaways. Canada has been a one-line team for the better part of three games now and they just couldn’t squeeze another one out. Hellebuyck just that much better today.
Don’t see them doing it but would Jon Cooper consider moving Celebrini away from McDavid if Crosby can’t play? Kid can clearly drive his own line. 🇨🇦

Canada looked like a one-line team at times when Sidney Crosby went down. Why finding an ideal fit for Nathan MacKinnon outside of playing with Connor McDavid and Macklin Celebrini could be key to Canada's chances at Gold. 🇨🇦

Macklin Celebrini today:
- Team leading 8 shots. Nobody else on Canada had more than 4.
- 25:53 TOI which led the team
- Assisted on the game-winning goal
- Still only 19 years old

Who ever said Mitch Marner can’t score a goal in an elimination game with a Maple Leaf on his chest 🇨🇦
Mark Stone has this unique ability to be the slowest skater on the planet but somehow at the same time no one can ever catch him. 🇨🇦
It’s very possible Macklin Celebrini will play in 5 Olympics for Canada. 🇨🇦

At 36, there was some question around how big of a role Drew Doughty would play at these Olympics. But the injury to Josh Morrissey proved Canada can still lean on Doughty if they need to. 🇨🇦

Will never understand why the Canucks felt compelled to trade Bo Horvat.
Have to feel for long-suffering Patriots fans who were denied their 7th championship in 25 years.
I might stick with Lyon. Sabres are really good
