Forget marchand. What a waste of money he would be on the leafs.
Hes effective as a 3rd liner on a mi e with other good third liners. On the leafs, he’d play second line against tougher comp and wouldnt be as effective.
Use the $8-9m on something else.I would live Marchand on a Tavares type deal but I do not want him at $8 mil
The ducks wasted John Gibson.. A few years ago when he was a hot commodity they would have got the motherload for him….This return is pretty weak.
Do you know where that article is? I’d like to read it. Sounds interesting!
Also kind of weird. Most of the time wingers aren’t captains.
Sorry I read stuff on my phone and then can’t find it when I look on my computer.
There was an article by Friedman that the Marner discontent started with the choice to hand Mathews the C.. Marner wants to go somewhere where he is the big dog.
I am tending to think it might be Utah that he signs with
They have the money and the owner wants to make a splash
There is no pressure from fans
He will walk into a younger team and get to be the big dog.Marner and his dad will be happy little pigs in shit
Just read an article that Knies and Leafs far apart… No idea who are reliable sources anymore though
In an ideal world I feel this would happen regarding JT. We aren’t in an ideal world and JT absolutely played as a 2C in the league last year. He’s slowing down but I feel with the cap opening up in the next few years I bet we see some longer contract for him. It also depends on what JT wants.
Ideally, for me, it’s similar to giroux. Something like 3 x 6 – 7. That’s what I think will happen.
Similarly, I wonder if Tree is trying to get Knies on a long term deal. I’d like to see 7 x 8 or even 8 x 8. However, if I were Knies and looking at the cap going up, I’d do like 4years x 6 million.
Would love Tavares to sign the Duchene deal
It’s sad how much a very small minority of people can ruin something for so many isn’t it?
It is much less frustrating if you just scroll past the annoying post when you see certain names. It is like a manual ignore button.
Sabres appear to be ready to move on from Alex Tuch
To Buffalo
Robertson
Kampf/Jarncrok(or both for all I care)
Neimala/Steeves other prospect(Leafs have a number of prospects that they seem to have no use for)
4th round pickTo Toronto
Alex Tuch
2nd round pickAssuming the signings of Knies, Pathces and Tavares go through and Marner is gone
Try to sign Duchene/Bennet(I think Bennet contract is going to make him stupidly overpaid.
Knies Mathews Domi
McMann Duchene/Bennet Nylander
Patches Tavares Tuch
X Laughton XXXXFill the 4th line with big tough guys who can skate.
Patches should be load managed to get him to the playoffs healthy.. Play him every other gameAlternatively
Try to trade for the rights to Marco Rossi/Mason Mctavish
Oilers/Panthers looks like it is mirroring the Leafs series.. Game 4 will be interesting but Florida seems to have gotten under the Oilers skin
Edit : a report post button would be nice. And one that actually works, unlike the HB report post function.
or an ignore button
I didn’t like him in the playoffs on TV and I’m not sure he’s the right guy but I guess we will see. I know he was an Assistant coach in Tampa when they were a powerhouse but I feel like he got a lot of credit for someone else’s (Jon Cooper) work.
He wasn’t good in Detroit IMO.
This is terrible… I echo, Terrible coach, Terrible on TV..I actually got the feeling he hated the Leafs
