Not the best track record as a coach. Too much like RC, ie need to play the side you shoot and not the side you are more comfortable.


Better options.
- burn

I hate that about him. I grew up playing RW. They wouldn't let me play the other side. I shoot right, but I play left. That's my strength. Coming across shooting. Or making a pass to the left and I start going across right. Then the puck comes back to me back door no dome.

Eventually someone let me and I really began to flourish.

Your dumb.

His dumb what?

I'm the same in soccer. Always play left side, tear it up like a boss.

I say be patient, who knows, maybe Nylander can become one.
- peddy-93

Nylander will be a good player.. But waiting 3-4 years and hoping he pans out is not optimal.. We thought Kadri had #1 potential, but it's looking more like he won't be..

He and Franson were one of the best pairings in the NHL
- AdamFrench

Memories.

Meh, he was drinking earlier that night. Driving recklessly.
- burn

Doesn't constitute drinking and driving.
Simply reckless driving. According to the courts, he's paid his dues, and career hasn't been as good since.

I love the angles and vision better from that side. I secretly wish I shot left. I think dekeing is better that way and shooting better on right.

Nylanders hands though

Lupul?

He's averaged 54 games a year over the last 4 (extrapolated) 82 game seasons. And these are his "healthy" years.
Can't count on Lupul on the 2nd line let alone the 1st line. This is why I, Tooley Moron think the Leafs need to upgrade that 2nd line in order to be contenders. The Leafs potentially have no 2nd line wingers to play with a marginal (but developing) 2nd line center, then wonder why the 1st line ran out of steam or got checked to death down the stretch.
- Woderwick

Whatever. Lupul can play the top line on my team all day long.

Kess Bozak and a 1st??

Id probably say (frank) it, get it done. We need a #1 badly.
- Arctic_AARDVARK

If trading those two I would rather try to deal with Columbus and get Ryan Johannson, a prospect and their #1. (I'm sure there will be tweeks to it but that would be the general package)

Same here. I can use my left quite happily, but the right is stronger. Best case, cut in and shoot. Worst case, go outside and shoot

He's not as much as an impact player as Kessel, or Tavy.. If Leaf trade Kessel they are getting an elite player coming back.

Well Tavares is my favourite player, and yes I would. But I'm sure NYI would ask for even more, like a 1st, which I would say no to.
- peddy-93

JT will never come here.. he is the core of the islanders ad campaign for moving to the bronx

give up the dream man

Whatever. Lupul can play the top line on my team all day long.

Lupul actually was our best player when he played the top line with kessel

- lumlums

Not hard to believe.

those mlse, PPP etc accounts and the likes do nothing but female dog and moan, why people follow them is beyond me, just like the hope smoke guy who just repeats everything other people say, can`t think for himself I guess.
- LeafMan

i for one am happy as hell that they are finally promoting from within

in my eyes thats a huge culture shift for this franchise

Not hard to believe.

Indeed

take your smut elsewhere

- Fakepartofme

He's awesome.. No idea why fans rip on him.. He gets injured cause he plays harder than most players of his calibre. Or if he gets in Dions crosshairs..

Not hard to believe.

So what is on the agenda for today Sheldon or do you prefer Leonard?

Ohhh..you mean that top line.
He is cute, but made of glass...like a Royal Dalton Boy. I like him, but would love to see him traded if he ever got healthy for any stretch of time, you know, before he got broken again.

lums is more of a howard i would say

Sobotka getting 4 million in KHL ....would have matched that if I were the Blues. Although taxes may have made him leave anyway.
