Argument, wrecked.
Oh yeah I’m sure he would have spoken openly about it on the media. Fuck you’re stupid. I said the dressing room specifically for a reason.
Have you ever even played the sport you dense fuck nut?
UG is here with his “Leafs are crashing” pouting again.
The guy is just a Canadian player fan and it’s pretty fucking obvious. Look at Clark and Gilmour on his pic. If Marner was on the team when those two were Mitch would have had his ass beat in the dressing room routinely playing like the whiny ass little pussy that he is.
I’m going to write about Treliving’s first year as GM, and how most of the moves were bad……Reaves was the worst.
To be fair he drafted Cowan and resigned Matthews that year, and even Nylander was resigned very early January 2024, and considering the fact he was tossed in at the last minute before July 1 (1 whole month) that’s not bad at all.
Brad Treliving did a wonderful job of getting rid of a mistake from 2 years ago. Moving Reaves and getting a prospect in return will start to change the culture in the Leafs dressing room. Marner and his mercenary behaviour was the first big step and now Reaves. Reaves had only 1 fight last year. His slow skating and propensity for taking dumb penalties finally signaled the end of his time in Toronto, and it gets another problem child out of the organization. Still there’s a few others that need to be dispatched and a proper first line winger coming in to help the Matthews line. For those who think the sky is falling, I disagree. Sure, one 100 point player off the roster, but significant cap relief can only help. There’s also the option to trade Anthony Stolarz for a great return. Stolarz had a career year and will be looking for a huge raise after this season. With Woll rounding into the number 1 goaltender, a good backup should suffice and allow the team the opportunity to either reacquire draft picks or a top 6 forward or a top 4 defender. The only question is, can Treliving make that deal without egg hitting him in the face. Should be an interesting season coming up.
Yup, and Reaves was a $200K cap hit on the Marlies and Thrun won’t be one at only $1 million. He’s a 24 year old RFA as well. He’s a simple choice for the leafs, if he doesn’t fit their style they don’t resign him, but he’s a 6’ 210lb D man, so I kind of like which way it’s leaning that he will ????
Can’t you guys just all stick to the latest blog?
I swear, compared to the Habs threads, you guys are all over the place!
I don’t know anything, I never will, I see my neurosurgeon again in 10 days and I’m just gonna tell him to cut the rest out ????
Yup.
Mitch Marner is an elite puck distributor but he doesn’t create room – in fact he sort of causes lanes to get closed because defenders expect him to try and find a clean passing lane. Matthew Knies is on his way to becoming a top level space creator – he can use his physical size and strength to battle low which will often draw more than one defender to his vicinity. Matthews has shown his ability to get lost in the play – which all elite goal scorers do – he doesn’t need to be in the cross crease lane to get those passes; he’ll find a soft pocket. He has more in common with Brett Hull that way than he does with Ovechkin. If Maccelli can complete a pass – or even Domi – and Matthews is healthy again, they should be okay. They will miss Marner, but ideally not as much as some seem to think.
Pretty much what I’m thinking. Knies is so bloody big and powerful I won’t be shocked if the opposition needs to focus two guys on him routinely. That alone will create the space that Matthews and the other winger need. Will the other winger have Marner’s passing skill? No. Will he need it? I’m also thinking no.
Which blog are we using on this site? Lol
I get what you’re saying tho senstroll, I know Marner is a superstar passer but I honestly don’t think a healthy Matthews needs one either. Give him a powerhouse net crasher which he has in Knies and a decent top six passer who isn’t an all star and Auston will be just fine.
No, silly, it was already headed here before moving Reaves out.
This was punishment for convincing Marner that Vegas was nice*
*punishment for not convincing him earlier.
That and Reaves still lives in Vegas and now he’ll play them more.
Knock Marner out Reaves for using your name in the media!!! ????
Reaves dumped to SJ for Thrun.
Cup to Toronto now right?
