Phil Kessel Doesn't Need A Lesson In Media Relations

Phil Kessel Doesn't Need A Lesson In Media Relations

March 9th, 2015 Last Tuesday, a Globe and Mail sports writer published this article. Of course, being a Leafs fan, I clicked the link, initially thinking that it might be a humorous take on the recent Phil Kessel comments. It was pretty clear, after the first paragraph or two, that this definitely wasn't the case and that Globe writer Cathal Kelly...
Phil Kessel Is Grumpy And I like It

Phil Kessel Is Grumpy And I like It

March 4th, 2015 Phil Kessel's interview with reporters yesterday showed his disdain with the media in Toronto and I think it's a good thing. Why? I think the current sentiment from many Leafs fans is that there is an increasing level of apathy within the Leafs dressing room. To me, this interview showed that Kessel reached a bit of a breaking point...
A Proposed Trade Idea for Dave Nonis

A Proposed Trade Idea for Dave Nonis

February 28th, 2015 The Leafs have made some significant trades before the March 2nd trade deadline. While I'm certainly not a Dave Nonis supporter I do applaud him for not sitting on his hands and making some moves. In particular, ridding himself and the Leafs of the absurd David Clarkson contract must be a massive relief. This trade is a 'win', really, no...
Leafs Trade: Winnik To Pens

Leafs Trade: Winnik To Pens

February 25th, 2015 The Leafs have made another low-profile deal. Daniel Winnik has been traded to the Penguins for Zach Sill, a fourth round pick in 2015, and a second round pick in 2016. Winnik was a quality player for the Leafs, who had a +15 rating – the highest, by far, among all Maple Leafs and had a decent FO win % (48.4%). In Sill, the Leafs,...
Leafs' Failed Actions or Missed Opportunities: My Replies

Leafs' Failed Actions or Missed Opportunities: My Replies

February 23rd, 2015 My article about the Franson-Santorelli-Leipsic-Jokinen trade generated a lot more attention than I thought it would. I thought the point that I was trying to make was fairly salient. I knew it would be a bit controversial but not to the degree that it would generate so much traffic and response. I thought, in that vein, that I...
Failed Actions or Missed Opportunities: Leafs

Failed Actions or Missed Opportunities: Leafs

February 20th, 2015 Hockey and Economics As someone who studies economics, I am concerned with the concept of 'opportunity cost' . That is, what is the cost of the action forgone, for the action taken? In economics, it’s a fundamental concept that attempts to assign value to alternative choices. What does this have to do with hockey? Well, the Leafs'...
Leafs' Salary Cap Woes: Kessel, Clarkson, and Phaneuf

Leafs' Salary Cap Woes: Kessel, Clarkson, and Phaneuf

February 9th, 2015 I've been thinking a lot and writing a lot about the Leafs salary cap predicament. The reason being, while the team is not doing so well, the current salaries and contracts may be more indicative of long-term failure than even their current play demonstrates. I hate picking on any one person in particular, particularly because...
Dave Nonis And The Salary Cap Pie

Dave Nonis And The Salary Cap Pie

January 31st, 2015 The NHL salary cap is about relative value of players, a concept that some GM's obviously don't understand. The idea is simple, the financial pie is limited, and every bit eaten, means less for everyone else. It's not THAT difficult a concept to undersand but it's certainly lost on Dave Nonis in Toronto. This isn't really news to...
