no chance in hell Marner is a center in the NHL. He shouldn't be. And Babs said Nylander moves to the wing.

Ray Shero pulled off a Tim Murray bank heist today in getting Taylor Hall. It's time for Murray to attack the market now

What bank heist???

Tomorrow will be interesting to tune into "The Convo" just to see Norman James' rant with Mike Augello on Stamkos not going to Free Agency and coming to the Leafs will go . He was so fixated on him coming home like no other.

With being so fixated on McDavid last year and Matthews this year, I am so worn out on knowledge of next year's projected top pick. Who is it?

We need to grab another Top 8 pick next year and I would love to see us close to the playoffs and win the lottery for # 1, that would piss them all off good.

Stay the course and only look for premier Free Agents that make a huge difference (we should be done this year now already, no Plan B's) or go 3rd tier of serviceable 1 to 2 year contract types that can be flipped for futures later. No 2nd tier disasters.

Matthews and Kadri are the centers. With what we have now it wouldn't surprise me if the Leafs re-signed PAP on a 1-2 yr deal and Okposo on a 3-4 year deal.


JVR-Kadri-Nylander
Okposo-Matthews-Brown
PAP-Bozak-Rychel
Greening-Laich-Michalek

Rielly-Zaitsev
Gards-Hunwick
Carrick-Marcinin

Andersen
Bernier


I am in the promote Marner group, I just don't see the Leafs doing it now. I think Lupul will get Robidas'd. If the Leafs can find a way to move out some salary (Michalek) maybe they can sign Demers.

take out PAP and slot in Marner. No way he doesn't make it. Nothing left to prove in Junior.. and I don't even think we're going to resign PAP anyway.

They have enough space for Okposo and Demers.

I* really wanted to buy a 4K TV** on Friday, but realistically an investment at this stage of the technology's position in the market*** isn't worth the investment.

*The Leafs
**Stamkos
***The Leafs rebuild

Ironically MLSE's majority shareholders are telecommunications companies

Buy low on Schultz Friday and stay course.

Depending on screen size and viewing space, 4K is beyond what even makes a difference to the human eye at this point.

I think you are, if Kane was a center in the first place that's where he'd be playing.

pretty sure Kane played Center for a bit one year..

but the actually point is, you mentioned Marner and his frame , digging those corners and his size... but size really isn't an issue to succeed. Enter: Kane. and many others.

Marner won't be a center. Especially with Matthews & Kadri. that and they can still keep Nylander at C, regardless of what Babcock said. Plus, Bozak is still a Leaf.

- MCharisma91



Not what I'm looking for either. Just saying I could see it happening, if he produces like last year then he could fetch a 2nd or a 3rd at the trade deadline. I also agree with you on the Marner front. But I can imagine the Leafs will take their time with his size.

Well if Mathews is a great center and Marner becomes one also doesn't that give you an asset in Kadri to trade for a position of need?
Not to mention the fact that Kadri would be a perfect 3rd line center.
