Bomm is 100% right. Players are always said to be going to Toronto and then pretty much all of them don't. What does Bomm have to be jealous about? I don't see any evidence that players actually want to come to Toronto. The Leafs have barely been able to acquire any free agents or make trades in the last 10+ years. And we're not the Ballard era. The only one was Clarkson who went there for the money. If Toronto was an attractive destination, a lot of high profile free agents would be signing there as there are a lot of players from the GTA in the NHL.

And the Leafs employ his Dad and brother. Same shit. There will never be any tampering evidence.

Pretty sure he's right.
NCAA players aren't allowed to take any form of payment from anyone pretty much. If a team paid for expenses pretty sure that would be against NCAA rules.

I bet the player doesn't pay for it. Either the school will pay for it and get reimbursed for the team, or the team will pay for it in some back door way, but I don't believe for a second the player covers all his travel expenses.

"Cleavage is like the sun. You can look, but dont stare.. Unless you're wearing sunglasses."
What's absurd? Name me all these great players who have willingly come to the Leafs in the last decade. Jason Blake and David Clarkson? I don't have to provide the evidence, YOU DO because you're the one who said players WANT to play in Toronto.
People told us that Corey Perry and John Tavares would be Leafs by now. People have been saying this about GTA stars for years and years and years.
You're out to lunch here and you know it. You have no solid arguments. The Leafs are currently like any other Canadian club. They are not a special franchise that players want to go to at all costs.
Lots of players have chosen lots of places. So.
Perry had a chance. He was headed to UFA without a contract and chose to stay in Anaheim. If you're going to parade "amateurs" well, Chicago got Panarin and that's about the only real KHL success story. Who cares about Gustavsson/Zaitsev. The Flames signed Roman Cervenka one time so they must be a franchise as enriched in tradition and history as TML if that's your argument.. Shayne Corson? Tyler Bozak? Those are your "superstar" success stories? Man you're reaching lol. You're calling Joe Nieuwendyk at age 37 a highly coveted free agent signing? On a one year deal?
I think the penguins are really the only team (not really anymore) that attract FA solely based on the team. Everyone would want to be on Chicago, but cap issues. Now players don’t go to teams based on the team, it’s more on the money when it comes to free agency.
