It's probably worth noting that Auston Matthews has drawn six penalties this season, tied for 352nd

I don't always wear my credential when I'm on road. Often keep it in my jacket pocket and show it - like Masai was trying to - as I pass. Sometimes I'd flash it after I've passed, I'm in such a rush. I've barely been stopped, much less assaulted. What happened to Masai sickens me
The attack on Masai Ujiri will shine a light on a tragic, major societal problem

Look at it this way: Rielly's at $5 million AAV now. He gets the $1.2M that gets freed up with Phil Kessel dropping off, plus the $1M the cap is going to go up next year, plus a bit more. The path was always there. Rielly wanted to stay.

According to a tax treaty between Canada and the United States, as a U.S. resident Matthews’ massive signing bonuses ($54.5M) would be taxed at 15 per cent in Canada. His salary ($3.65M) would be taxed at 53.53 per cent.

For what it's worth, the Maple Leafs were the last team in the NHL to have a roster player test positive for the coronavirus in-season in calendar 2021. They've had some in "protocol" -- notably Nylander -- but that was precautionary, for close-contact.

I've seen some Leafy things: Missing the playoffs in 2007 on a 2-1 SO win by NYI over NJ ... Trading picks that could have been Scott Niedermayer and Tyler Seguin ... Waffle tosses ... but if they lose to an emergency backup because they're not shooting, that's the Leafiest.

If anyone considers that the Toronto market is hard on the Maple Leafs, consider also GM Kyle Dubas made a huge error in signing an injury-prone Petr Mrazek to a three-year deal. To make up for his mistake, he has to trade his first-round pick AND he earns praise for it.
