It's not really a deal breaker, but I'd rather see Moore instead of Lindholm.

They are missing the net a lot lately. infuriating

Indeed.

When JG has ample time to think and he has no pressure. He will make an above average play.

Same can be said for the exact opposite.

Patiently waiting for Ennis. How sad is that.

I like his game.

Little water bug down low

Goat and Gardiner could go and I would not lose sleep or bat an eyelash at all at this point really.

Liking Moore though.

That would’ve been a sweet tip by Greene

He brought a little offense and wasn't a defensive burden and that's all I can ask for a 4th liner.
Lindholm has no offense but PKs so I'll let it pass. Same with Brown.
I was much more patient with the Goat than most in here. But I give up on him now.

I've really liked Ennis for a 4th line guy. He can move up if needed. He won't hurt the PP of needed there....

Matthews

Matthews is playing angry.

He’s gotta play a little more selfish. Loved the faceoff shot.

I've been a practicing patience, but Nylander is demoted to the 4th? I've thought he had looked good.

There needs to be two trades for defenseman to improve this lineup and they are

To toronto: Pietrangelo
To St Louis: Johnsson, liligren and a 1st

To carolina: kappinen
To toronto: brett pesce

Both kap and johnsson are both UFAs, and will likely not be affordable for toronto in the off season. This makes the leafs blue line much deeper

Rielly-Pietrangelo
Gardnier-Pesce
Dermont-Hainsey

When Jake and Hainsey dont resign in the off season, the two Sweeds, Holl, Sandin and Igor can all battle it out for the final spot

Up front there would be 3 deep lines, then for the love of god add some muscle on the 4th line

JT-Marner-Hyman
Matthews-Nylander-marleau
Kadri-brown-lindholm

Make it happen Dubas!!

While it would be great to get both Pesce and Pietrangelo, here’s a perhaps less expensive proposal:

To Toronto - Pesce and Ferland
To Carolina - Kapanen, Engvall and a 2020 2nd rd pick

To Toronto - Nick Jensen
To Detroit - 2019 conditional pick ranging from 2nd to 4rth depending on Leafs playoff success and / or Signing Jensen.

WOOT there it is!!

Deserves it right now. Pregame they were showing how he was not engaging, skating or being at all effective. He is struggling and honestly you want to have the guys going who are up to speed at this point. He has to earn his spot and pay at this point. Can't be coasting and not engaged like he has been.

couldn't even win 8-1

I'll agree that you need to earn it. But let's ask: is Marleau doing anything valuable at all?

Marleau is engaging in puck battles and playing both ends of the ice at least. Not quite the same as last year but then also Kadri seems utterly confused and lost a bit in his game from last year too. I think the thing there is the Marleau-Kadri-Kap line works the best because Marleau covers defensively well and is sort of the vet presence. Kap though right now especially needs to be up with Matthews line and Nylander just is not engaged at all right now which sucks. Kadri struggling is not going to help get Nylander going either.

Thinking Babs just needs to bagskate Willy for a while and ride him hard, piss him off.

Maybe wouldn't be a bad idea to sit William down for a game?
