Tampa has 8 centres on the roster.

Depends how Price does. If Price performs they won't care that the rest sucks ass.
- Aaron_85

I just don't see how one guy - even if he is the best goalie in the world - can have that much impact on a team.

IMHO, there was something horribly wrong with that team. Price getting hurt didn't help, but I don't think it was the root cause of their crapitude.

Every single player on the Philadelphia Flyers is a centre.

lol. Just sayin'. Better to have more centres... Centres can play wing, but not all wingers can play centre.

they can all move to the wing too

Wendel was on Leafs Lunch today. He made a great point.

According to Wendel:

The best players want to play on the biggest stage. They don't care about the pressure.

Nobody refuses to play in the Olympics because they don't want the pressure.

It's the same in the NHL.

Exactly. Granato said the other day that he could tell he was special when he got him in usndp. He was mature and composed. Crawford said the same.

He's not afraid of the spotlight.

Am I the only one who thought Marincin was a lot more bad than good last season?

Oh Great...he's actually 28 years old masquerading as an 18 year old to get drafted high like Freakorenko.

Auston Matthews going #1 is great for #Leafs, whether it's great for him remains to be seen. Expectations/pressure could get out of control
- burn

When you think about where Matthews could have ended up, he must be ecstatic.

Could have been Winnipeg......

Or Columbus......

Or Edmonton.......

Or Calgary.........

Pretty sure that he likes the Leafs option a whole lot better.

I guess that's better than being 30 and pretending to be 16 to be a highschool basketball star...

We could potentially slot bozak in on the wing somewhere too if we don't ship him out

Time to go home...I read 28 years old masturbating like an 18 year old...

according to some on here, he's already a bust
- MCharisma91

Do you just make this stuff up?

Who the heck said he was bust. Most have looked forward to this signing....some wouldnt believe it would occur...until it did occur.

I haven't seen anyone say he was a bust.

Good signing.....excited to see him on the leafs.

Now we need a quality defensive dman

If anything he repeatedly failed to find a successor for Marty, which is why the guy played for so long...
- BINGO!

Not that finding a successor to Marty was trivial - he was stellar for more than 2 decades.

Stamkos isn't coming here anymore.
- Woderwick

Garf made that clear.

We can't get Stamkos anymore because we have Laich.
