A leader of what? Stripped of the C and constant playoff failure. Less career playoff points than any other core player and giant defensive liability.
Stop it UG, he wasn’t stripped he gave it up. And what do you think his $4 mill gets the leafs instead?
He was stripped of the captaincy. Spin it however you want but if they actually had playoff success, he’d still be the captain. They made that switch because they kept losing year after year and instead of trading somebody, they had to try and generate some feeling of “change”. And it didn’t work because the results are basically the same. Just like this team turned to career losers like Spezza, Marleau and Thornton in the past, they continue to do it with Tavares.
The “value” of 4 million for regular season stats and playoff disappearing act doesn’t help this team achieve it’s goal of a Stanley Cup. The illusion of value doesn’t help this team when it matters the most. It’s not like the type of value McDavid brings to his team for a discount. It’s just another over the hill, over rated, under performing Toronto boy riding out the rest of his career as a loser on the team he grew up cheering for. He’s a great person, of that I have no doubt, but he’s not a winner and he hurts the team in the playoffs more than he helps them. He’s a passenger.
That 4 million, plus the money wasted on Rielly, should have gone towards retaining Marner and making this team more suited for the playoffs. Tavares is not good for the playoffs. End of discussion.

Wait, so paying Tavares $4M to do fuck all in the playoffs is a huge failure.
But you wanted to pay Marner $13M to do fuck all in the playoffs?!?!?
He only hit the post and got 2 assists last night. His stick and intelligence still work just fine, he’s a vet and doesn’t skate the same as he once did and people are supposed to be surprised by this? A $4 mill 2nd line C who is damn near a PPG guy who still is a true leader for a team is a steal, like him or not.

4 million to do fuck all in the playoffs like he did vs. Florida and be a giant defensive liability.

Marner was part of 3 GWG vs. Florida.
Marner was also not on the ice for as many goals against as Tavares so not only was Tavares shit offensively, his defense cost them dearly, moreso than any other forward. Nor did Tavares kill penalties or shutdown the top line.
Check your ass because your head is stuck up there.

The Leafs PP is going to be a big, big problem this season. And having Stolarz without Woll could prove to be a big problem. Stolarz with a career high of 34 starts is going to require the Leafs have some serious trouble in net.
ha you had to go remove a bunch of goals so you didnt look too positive. what a loser lol
You made a good point. I’m always reconsidering and refining the numbers. It’s not about being “too positive” and more about being as realistic and accurate as possible.
Make your own predictions instead about bitching about mine.
Let me guess for you. 350 goals for, 100 against, 82-0, 16 straight playoff wins, 5 straight Cups.
