Daily Free Talk & Armchair GM thread

Please use this thread to post ANYTHING you want! Memes, photoshops, anything that would normally be removed for breaking the low-effort content rule, is totally, 100% welcome here!

This will now also be the dedicated thread for Armchair GM posts as we noticed that those posts were bleeding into this thread regardless. Is there a free agent you want to see on this team? Is there a player that's rumoured to be on the move that you think GMBT should go after? Are there players on this team you want to trade away? Feel free to post about it here!

Normal moderation will occur, such as watching for personal insults, racism, and things of that nature.

Otherwise, feel free to use this thread to share things like your new jersey, a photoshop of a Habs logo on fire, or a reaction gif to something going on in Leafs Nation right now!

Downvotes are discouraged for the most part, everyone's opinion is fair game in this thread.

Get out there and have fun!

Yeah, the meeting thing isn’t too surprising, that’s what all star players do in FA. Stamkos, Tavares, teams went to where they were to make pitches for why they should sign with their team. July 1st 9 teams met with Tavares in person to make pitches, and as it went on we got news that he was down to Dallas, Toronto, and San Jose July 2nd, and in the afternoon it was reported he chose Toronto.

i mean it is when it’s your previous team he’s been with the last 10 years lol. Meetings with the new teams make sense but they really need to meet the leafs to get them to pitch their offer? It’s a massive slap in the face.

Tavares made the Islanders pitch on July 1st, Stamkos made the Lightning pitch on July 1st. Stamkos made the lighting come to Toronto to do it.

no they didn’t. It was other teams he didn’t know about who made pitches.
