I’m going to address this once in this forum. This is a place to talk about hockey, about the Leafs and the upcoming season. If you want to talk about politics, if you want to talk about some of the issues of the day,
….you are free to do so…. just not here. We want to talk about sports, and ONLY SPORTS. If someone continues to bring up politics, they will be blocked from posting on the forums. We want to keep things civil here, and if you can’t do that, go someplace else.Better later than never.
Thank you!GO LEAFS GO !!!!!!!
YEEEEEESSSS
Marner could have been a hero had he signed for reasonable amount (my gawd Kaprisov deal is horrible), quit whining and truly showed up in the playoffs.
But he did neither.
How good and physical the leafs will be remains to be seen…only the results in April will matter. But for 9 years it wasnt working with this core. Things had to change. They did.
Some need to move on, let it go. This isnt marner’s dads leafs anymore…..marner ran away.Question is, with how old and injury prone the leafs seem to be….can the full team survive the full season? Can matthews be the matthews of 3 years ago?
The 3rd line does look great though.I will say it quickly, Marner has talent, I know this, but he’s a whiner and I won’t miss him at all on the leafs. There’s my opinion, the end.
What I do think will be the shock for leaf fans this year is getting used to having a bottom six that actually is good again for the first time in over a couple f’n decades. They haven’t had this since before the rebuild and it’s why I think some leaf fans are still panicking about this type of restructuring. They either don’t remember how this is the more effective way to build a team or they aren’t old enough to have ever seen it, at least not on the leafs.
^This.
He is a great player, but will not going to miss him no matter what.
Go Leafs!!!
And go Jays!!!I don’t know the answer to this question, we should wait and see what happens.
He is not in easy situation there and up to very difficult decisions.I think the answer is they have run out of prospects and draft picks to make a difference. They also don’t have cap space to sign free agents or make trades necessary to improve the team.
I think the Oilers only hope is if one of their goalie prospects comes in and stands on his head. But for this year, they’re going back to Skinner, Pickard and now Ingram, for a 3 headed monster of giant question marks in net.
Teams have won the Cup with great players like McDavid and terrible goalies, but they still require a higher level of defense. The Oilers don’t have it or the resources to change it quickly. That’s why a landing spot like Vegas, that has everything but is missing something like McDavid, makes the most sense.
I makes sense to me, but the question is what makes sense for Conor, we
have no way to know what he is going to do.Can McDavid afford to put his Cup winning fate in the same organization for the rest of his career?
I don’t know the answer to this question, we should wait and see what happens.
He is not in easy situation there and up to very difficult decisions.Might not be possible in Edmonton given the way their team is built with no D and no goalie. He has to do everything by himself in Edmonton. The only reason they got close is because he’s the best player in the world. If he joins Vegas, next time in the Final, he gets a lot more help and gets the job done.
Yes, I agree, but still thinking he stays in Edmonton.
Sure, more chance to win with Vegas or Florida, no doubt about it.
He was not lucky to sign contract with the team, who unlikely can win the Cup, but so many
other players been in the same situation.Unholy_Goalie wrote:
He wants to win a Cup. He will leave Edmonton if it means winning a Cup and it looks like he might have to if they can’t do it this yearHe wants to win it in Edmonton and they were not so far from getting it done for 2 years in a row.

Or Vegas and have everything.
Vegas makes more sense for him, but I don’t believe he is going to leave Edmonton in any future.
