So if the Leafs don’t resign JT, do they move Nylander to #2C?
Knies Matthews Domi/??P.Kane??
McMann Nylander Domi/??P.Kane??
Pacioretty/??Jeannot?? Holmberg/Kampf ??E. Kane??
Lorentz Laughton ??B. Tanev??¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Nylander can not play center in the NHL. He’s physically weak, horrible defensively and can’t win face-offs. Nylander is a one dimensional, offensive winger. That’s it. He’s a better Phil Kessel. End of story.
That entire line-up is just one giant mess of a defensive liability after another. Absolute opposite of a Berube team.
Leafs got picks #64,84,137,153,185 and 217 coming up this Friday and Saturday draft.
Are they going to add or subtract from those numbers.
I wonder the Leafs could get E. Kane + a 3rd round pick in 2026 form the Oliers as a possible cap dump for pick #84This will give the Oilers some cap space to go after Swayman.
I would happily trade every single Leafs pick in the draft, and I literally mean every single pick if necessary, if it meant the Leafs could bring in Jenner and McBain to play 2C and 3C. The odds of the Leafs being able to actually draft and develop any players from 64th and beyond is next to zero. I’d rather just go all the way with it and bring in two guaranteed guys in their mid 20s you will play on this team for at least the next 3-5 years so that you still have a crack at success with Matthews still on the team.
Evander Kane, much like Patrick Kane, is a liability at this stage of his career. He’s often injured, wrong side of 30 and way too expensive. I’d take Patrick and Evander Kane at 2 million each but not a penny more. Simply not worth it anymore. If the Oilers couldn’t win a Cup with Evander Kane at 5+ AAV, the Leafs won’t be able to either.
time will tell who is wrong … in your mind I’m wrong, in mine, I’m correct.
Time has already proven you, among many other Leafs fans and the Leafs management wrong.
When Tavares arrived he was the 2nd highest paid player in the NHL, in his prime.
What did he actually accomplish in 7 years?
No awards. Didn’t lead the league in anything. Won one playoff series. Lost seven. Less points than every other core player. Biggest defensive liability too.
How the hell can anyone possibly think he’s worth another chance at 35+ if he’s making anything more than 2 million a year as a pure passenger depth piece?
Corey Perry is the model for how Tavares would be useful to a team going forward. But not at 5-7 million a year. Not anymore.
I disagree with your assessment of JT. He was ok with whom he played with. The 2nd line was missing a good 2LW.
If the Leafs had better 2LW than Holmberg or McMann, things could of been better for them but they did not.You are free to disagree and be wrong.
The LW situation does suck but isn’t a strong enough reason for the way they disappeared after Game 3. Especially on the PP for which there is no excuse of having any weak players on the ice.
You can’t have Tavares on the same line or even team as Nylander. They are the same type of player. Both defensively inept and offensively streaky. Nylander wins because he is younger and Tavares offensively disappeared vs the Panthers.
It’s great news that Tavares wants more than 5 AAV and hopefully he’s gone because he sucked at his best, he’ll be useless on his next contract as he approaches 40.
Would love Tavares to sign the Duchene deal
Too bad they both absolutely suck balls in the playoffs, especially defensively.
And that’s exactly why this team will continue to lose.
interesting business model for the interwebs that????
ban all of your users ????????
we’ll see how it works out i suppose ????
Or it could be Mike banning the regulars so they come here instead. Makes no sense that number of people are getting banned for literally no good reason.
That why the Leafs get some of their player(s) into commercials.
Those bullshit commercials don’t pay nearly what people think they do. And again, 55% of it is taken away.
Nashville is a nice place for tax evasion since that state has no state income tax.
Utah, Florida, Tampa, Nashville, Dallas, Vegas…lots of great options for players. Don’t blame them one bit for leaving because it’s by far, way better to live in all those places too.
speaking of bonuses. JT won his case vs. The CRA as The CRA did not want to disclose the audit criteria errr something like that. So the judge dropped the case.
For future cap crunching and tax dodging, the Leafs should set up a shell corp. in no income states, get their Canadian players US citizenship and pay them big signing bonus’ like they did with Matthews. If the NHL won’t change the rules, then the Leafs have to get creative and find ways around them.
pretty much, “They traded 10 years of 1st round picks”
the leafs have had a 1st round pick in 7 of the last 10 drafts. And the 3 they didn’t, these were the 3 first picks Robertson, Knies and Minton.The leafs drafting is average and probably a little better than the average team.
Wrong again, as usual.
2009 – Kadri, traded for garbage. Won a Cup.
2015 – Marner, will walk for nothing. Traded down from 24th to pick Dermott and Bracco, passed on Konecny.
2017 – Liljegren – Traded for Matt Benning; no impact player.
2018 – Sandin – Traded for future 1st round pick. Still no impact player.
2019 – No 1st round pick. Traded for Muzzin. Did nothing. Got overpaid. Retired broken. Drafted Robertson. He mostly sucks, not an impact player.
2020 – Traded 1st round pick to dump Marleau. Traded Kapanen for a 1st round pick. Made a bad pick, poor guy died. No impact player.
2021 – No 1st round pick. Traded for 11 games of Nick Foligno.
2022 – No 1st round pick. Traded to dump Mrazek. Drafted Minten. Traded him too.
2023 – Traded for 24 games of O’Reilly rental. Picked Cowan with the pick they got for Sandin. Still no impact player.
2024 – Traded down. Picked Danford. No impact player yet.
2025 – Traded for McCabe. 2nd pair D.
2026 – Traded for Carlo. Another 2nd pair D.
2027 – Traded for Laughton. Retarded trade.So 10+ years of 1st round picks have indeed been traded or wasted, most of them got us garbage in return. Carlo, McCabe, Laughton (1 year rental), Cowan, Danford. That’s what the Leafs have to show for 10 years of 1st round picks.
The Leafs being “average” isn’t going to win them shit especially when they throw away as many 1st round picks as they have.
Florida traded their 1st and 2nd round pick capital for Marchand and Seth Jones. That’s what your top picks are actually supposed to get you in return. Not a bunch of garbage rentals or spare parts for 10 years of trash.
It’s a shame. It’s not just the Canadian teams that suffer, but the Rangers, Isles, Devils, etc, play in Blue, overtaxed states. Bettman is a clown, to allow this to continue. He’d rather do fellatio on the new bidder for the Atlanta Stars and Bars, than fix this inequity and keep another Canadian franchise from gaining entry into the NHL. He needs to leave now!
The Leafs fucked themselves with the Tavares contract. They have nobody to blame but themselves. They’ll make the same mistake again by keeping him for a 2nd futile contract and not trading Rielly.
They trade 10 years worth of 1st round picks, they can’t draft or develop enough impact players and they let great players leave for nothing.
Leafs are run by idiots. Different names, same results.
Watching what?
Marner becoming a second/third liner on another team and riding the goat tails of actual playoff performers to a cup victory?No team close in the hunt for cup will sign marner to the contract he wants. If he wants $13 – 14m, he’ll sign with team thats still 3 – 4 years out.
Marner is gone.
Get over it.Watching you be wrong, as usual.
