Lou said himself that even if they take a step backwards, it's a move to go forward. That a plan is in place and they are very confident in it. This makes me think that the true prize is the other #91 next year.

Stamkos comes knocking on leafs door June 25th leafs don't answer

July 1 stamkos signs with another team

July 2 JT re ups with islanders for 8 years....


Fackkk

I don't buy it.

Stamkos looking like he will go ufa, who knows if Tavares ever makes it there

Larsson and trouba are both overrated.

you look at a dman's points on the Devils and that's how you rate him?

That was my thought as well. I think he will become a great defender, but he's no where near worth JVR.
- iTOLDu

Yes he is, he has more value than JVR does.
And as for him being a bust, no, that was only talked about when when he was 20yrs old by a very few who were clueless.
By 25yrs old, he will be among the top 3 best dmen in the NHL.....that's a fact jack.

Hoooollltttbbbbyyyy

I know all about Larsson and his advanced stats....you saying he is overrated just proves you have no clue what you are talking about.

And your "bust" thought is also wrong. He struggled as an 19/20yr old and than started to really improve. Last year he started to use that big body of his to be more physical. This kid is going to be amazing within a couple years.
Go speak to any Devils fan and ask them if they would trade Larsson for JVR straight up...

Yes he is, he has more value than JVR does.

Well we're all certainly entitled to our own opinion. But no way in hell am I trading JVR for Larsson straight up. At this level has proven much more, albeit at a different position. He's also still young himself and is on one of the best contracts in the league.

Tanner?

You really are clueless

A lot of certainty about sports outcomes on the internet, still haven't heard anyone say they win bets for a living.

Here's the real question. Who do the Leafs sign if we don't sign Stamkos?
