While others would say that Matthews has been the best Leaf for the past two years (nobody else has even been close), and Babcock was stupid to be so old school with the "young guys need to realize that they have to earn their ice time" crap, because everyone could see it was misguided. Matthews had earned it by working hard since the time he was 5 years old, becoming the #1 overall draft pick.

Oh, and because he's really, really franking good.

There is truth to this but also Marner and JVR took the PP time last year and ran with it.

But yes, Laine is good but Matthews is on another level. Laine is like Kessel to Matthews' Crosby. Laine is a star, Matthews is generational. Matthews is the best player since Crosby.

Score mobile just alerted me that Dubas is in Switzerland to negotiate with Nylander's camp.

Sign the (frank)ing deal!

Indeed. Nylander's camp can't be feeling like they are negotiating from a position of strength after the Leafs start to the season.

Either way, it's a long way to travel for a continued stalemate... maybe it gets done today...

Dubas in Europe meeting with nylander.
- bryant

Pathetic rookie mistake by Dubas - why the frank would he travel to Europe?

You make Nylander and his agent come to your office.

Then you make them wait in the waiting room for 45 minutes.

Then you adjust their chairs so that they are sitting at a lower level than you are.

And wear your yellow power tie!

For frank's sakes, it's like Dubas has never read a 1980s management book before!

Only thing I can think of is that Dubas wants a nice little trip to Europe on the company dime.

The stress is causing Willy to break out...something needs to be done asap.

If this continued, his hair might start falling prey to the stress...dry, split ends and more hair in the shower drain than he's used to.

Hopefully it’s nylanders camp that is calling the meeting. More apt to get something signed if that’s the case.

Dubas should have said, "I'm sorry, I can't come to the phone right now - I'm busy looking at Kasparen's point totals!"

I was thinking they play him the tavares video that marner did, and just terribly edit it with voice overs where they say nylander instead of Tavares.

Pretty much the same here.

In Switzerland.. Wonder if discussion is; we are going to sign you to this? Or, Yah, you've been traded to...?
