The problem is.....he was selected 4th overall in a very deep draft. He looked like a boy against men out there. He'll be OK, in two to three years, but I don't see him being the next Claude Giroux.

you mean the guy who didnt play a full NHL season til he was 21?

Doesn't work unless we swap Larsson and Severson for Dion.

That's odd, I wonder if being a boy playing against men had anything to do with it?

I Like the Jays

All you smart toronto fans seriously think either JVR or Kadri would of cracked fifty points playing low event hockey for half the year on the second lowest scoring team in the league ? you guys already talk like you will be the lowest scoring team in the league without phil and we don't have anything like phil in jersey to help any toronto forward out that would me sent here. You put some of these NJ forwards you are laughing at in an offensive system with even half decent players and their stats would likely rise.

Also we are right near the cap floor so why move one of our biggest contracts just to give up a top three draft pick ? what are you on I would like some please ! Both teams are rebuilding why the (frank) would we want to deplete ourselves of the one the we need the most and have the least of to get older and more average.

No you don't...you just hate talking about the Leafs

It's gonna suck when neither the Jays or Leafs win their respective Championships this year.
- walshyleafsfan

How is it going to suck?
No one (or no one should be) is expecting either to win their Championships.

And how is that different than any other year.

Just enjoy the ride....Toronto finally has a hard working star filled sports team that people around the league recognizes as a great team.

Whoa now. We wouldn't want to do a deal that might get us closer to the cap floor!

The Leafs are pretty boring compared to the Jays ride the past 2 months
that game yesterday was (frank)ing awesome

Its Monday. I hate you people!!

A) he's still technically a boy
B) you figured all this out based on 3 pre season games with a new coach and system....how is every NHL team not knocking down your door to hire you?
Relax.
I dont think Giroux cracked the NHL until his early 20's.
Geez.

Right...the guy who is an actual centre and not a project to play centre.

I've just seen this script too many times before. We raise our hopes. We don't win. Jays will be no different. Same ole story. There's only one team in Toronto.

Compared to the Jays past two months....the Leafs have been pretty boring for 20 years.

Oh the walk off by JD........you are completely correct....facking awesome.

Marner played allot of wing in Junior. He's going to be slotted as a centre, this year, because of Mark Hunter. He should have been there sooner, learning the trade. Someone on the London Knights thought that it would be a good idea to put him on the wing......

Well Peter Poo Pants...not sure what to tell you......I understand what you mean...but this ride the Jays have been on....has completely taking me over.....Im not even interested in the leafs right now......it will be disappointing when the Jays are done (win or lose) and I only have the Leafs to watch.

That will indeed be very sad

man.. so many leaf fans think these kids should be able to come out of junior and step right into the NHL

its (frank)ing absurd.

how long til Nylander is sent down? now that the big boys are getting their legs he isnt nearly as dominant... completely expected as well

Just do what I do......start your countdown to Spring Training, the trade deadline and the NHL draft.....by then summer is back!

Marner is a C

you might wanna start fact checking before you go off.
