Boston's defense is up in the air. If McAvoy doesn't step in as a top-4 they're going to hurt. Chara can't keep eating 24 minutes a night.

Agree, Bergeron is still a stud and as much as I don't like that douchebag Marchand - can be a very good player. One intangible that the Bruins have is the fans are animals for the most part, no team likes to play there.

6.66 for Pastrnak. Id give Nylander that deal happily.
- ClarksonDavid

That Pastrnak deal was perfect for you guys

He'll get 70+ points, probably be around 7.9mln/year.
- MaximusAurelius

Pretty hard ask after pastrnak just signed that deal.

He'll get 70+ points, probably be around 7.9mln/year.
- MaximusAurelius

Well he has to get better than pasternaks 70 points to snif even 7 million

He'll get 70+ points, probably be around 7.9mln/year.
- MaximusAurelius

For Marner?

WTF? He'll be in the 50's next year.

Willie will outscore Marner. I would almost guarantee it. Barring injury he is going to ride shotgun with Matthews for 82 games.

The Pastrnak deal had Lou written all over it

Detroit is horrible. No way they make it.

Florida lost a lot of good players. Loungo is going downhill fast.

Buffalo is meh still.

I can't see those teams making it
- Santo_44

Completely forgot about them tbh.

They're like Vancouver though, their not selling anyone off - will be an interesting to see if they continue the retool approach or go full rebuild.

One more bad one for Stamkos and he might be an Island hopper.
- winsix

He has been bitten hard by the injury bug over the past few years.

Lou was scene in Boston last week

I guessed 6.875 per, 8 years for Willie earlier. Could be spot on.

I hope they re tool...then they can be the new leafs 2004-2015

I think Pasternak is better than Draisitil Good deal

- BetterCallSaul

Maybe - hard thing to guarantee! Never bet against Marner - kid is super talented and might be the most tenacious player on the team.

Have a look at junior top lines when McDavid had the monster year (120pts in 46 games) Don't forget Marner was picked 4th in that draft and #3 pick not looking so hot so far.

I think that's a good deal for both parties.

If it is a line of Marleau - Matthews - Nylander, I'm sure Nylander will get alot of points.
Probably more points than Marner.
However, even with the two anchors that are JVR and Bozak, I still see Marner getting 70+ points.

Pastrnak deal is good for us.
If we can get Nylander under 7.....even better.
I still believe we can get all three for under 24- 25 million per.

Nylander will want Draisaitl money....might as well accept it

JVR isnt an anchor, give me a break.
You need someone to dig out the pucks. I doubt you'll see a line of marleau, Matthews and nylander too much.

Nylander will want Draisaitl money....might as well accept it
- Symba007

And he wont get it.
Might as well accept it.

Nylander will want Draisaitl money....might as well accept it
- Symba007

Yeah Pasternak did as well....

Run along

And he wont get it.
Might as well accept it.
- Fakepartofme

so another player the Leafs will be forced to trade?

Not at all.
He'll sign for 7 or under.
Moving on.

- Fakepartofme

Marner needs to make up for Bozak and JVR's lack of defensive abilities and effort.

Marner is by far the superior player on that line, and he deserves to have better players with him, in order to be able to not only think D first..

Alot of people still don't realise what a special player Marner is..

It's plays like this that illustrate what he is all about:
