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
- Dozzer

He'll be one of the final cuts after the 1st Detroit game on the 2nd of October.
That way he can go enjoy nuit blanche the following night.

Marner was a 4th overall in a deep draft.......Nylander was an 8th overall in a mediocre draft......it's why there is a whiff of disappointment. It's just the fear of a swing and a miss, in a deep draft, when there was a number of options out there. Nylander and Marner are similar players, smallish, skilled, quick, but neither have shown the prowess to be a number one centre. This team isn't going anywhere, until that is rectified.

Marner is a C

you might wanna start fact checking before you go off.
- Dozzer

Prince doesn't do facts.

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

So I thought you said the Jays wouldn't be able to shake the Yankees.

He played allot of wing, with the Knights.

Nylander?

no.. he wont be on the team.. i guarantee he's sent down and isnt on the final roster.. too many C's already.. and he needs to be top 2 to make the cut.. they wont play him bottom 6

How was against the habs? (I didn't watch the game)

only when paired with Domi on the PP

even then.. they switched up all the time

Well (frank). I was looking forward to seeing if these kids would be any good. Thanks for ruining the surprise.

Oh.

My.

Nylander is now 193lbs by the way. That puts him a bit heavier than Stamkos. Is he still too small?

Does anyone enjoy Nuit Blance anymore? (Aside from the roaming packs of drunk 17 year olds)

False. No one enjoys Nuit Blanche.

Yankees ended up with allot of injuries to their starting staff. It happens. I hope that the Jays can win it all, but in what I said, about the Bullpen, has happened a few times lately. Osuna is actually human. Sanchez is starting to flame out, as well. They are a bit light on the left handed pitching out of the pen.

Judging by the finale score, I'd say both teams offence were pretty..... dry

Ha. Marner a boy among men.

More like a BOYES among MARNER'S

Oh.

My.

God.

For first line centre? Yes!

Plus they're putting him only at centre this year to get him up to speed

no.. he wont be on the team.. i guarantee he's sent down and isnt on the final roster.. too many C's already.. and he needs to be top 2 to make the cut.. they wont play him bottom 6

Ah that's what I saying! After Oct 2nd he'll be sent down.

Oh, ok. So if Texiera wasn't made of glass the Yankees would be a better team. Even though the Jays have lost their starting 2nd baseman and Shortstop. Makes sense.

For first line centre? Yes!
- PrinceLH

So bigger than Giroux, similar to Stamkos, Datsyuk etc but still too small?


You've lost your mind

I stay home anyways.

Yeah...no.


Toews is like 200. Stamkos 195.

It's curious that they've waited until now, to make Nylander a centre and want to train him now. I hope that he can transition, because we really need a good number one. I fear that he ends up being a number two and that we still have that gaping hole for the foreseeable future.
