He's still 1 of the best players in the game, we just have the Blue & White goggles on for the most part.

Not disagreeing.
But i could understand limiting his ice time until closer to playoffs due to age.
I wonder what his ice time was at 22 years old.

Where Bingo at?

According to a press box observer in Carolina last night, the Maple Leafs had two guys taking in Rangers-Hurricanes including AGM Laurence Gilman. The Leafs have scouted Carolina a lot but the Rangers would also be of interest to them.

Just doing due dillegence. I truly doubt Carolina is making any trades at this point considering how close they are now. Maybe the NYR.

Since we are discussing Babcock. Does anyone else think Andersens injury in dec was slightly embellished? Right before xmas break or just after. Then they had a few weeks until all star and bye week. A way to get him some rest mid season?

Not to believe in anything Ek says but....

Hayes would be a good add. With stone, Duchene and Panarin available this is the year to add a “secondary” FA.

In years past Hayes would be a top TDL target

Leafs have a surplus of mid-level wingers.

Carolina has a surplus of mid-level defencemen.

I suspect something will happen. Nothing mind-blowing.

Like Johnsson for something.

Yeah, Johnnson would appear the most likely to go in a “hockey” trade.

I wouldn’t rule out a Brown package for a rental...Browns gotta go anyways in the off-season.

this I agree with, Brown is the likely one to move in a $$ for $$ deal

In all fairness, Matthews should be playing more. He is currently 82nd in the league in TOI.

While penalty kill time factors in to some of the players above him, a lot of them it doesnt. They simply get more time, and more opportunities to produce.

I am not advocating playing him as much as McDavid, but he should easily have an average closer to 19+ mins a game based on his talent level IMO.

There are times where I dont understand why the 4th line is playing. Why play the 4th line with 3 minutes left in the game for example. I am a Babcock fan, but I do find him a bit too stubborn sometimes.

- Archaic


Idk, the Leafs have a lot of talent on forward.

As do the Lighting.

Kucherov plays 15:46 mins of ES per game.

Stamkos plays 14 mins of ES per game.

Matthews plays 15:40 mins of ES per game.

Personally I think it’s way overblown. There’s a lot of talent to go around.

I wouldn’t be opposed to 7 D 11 F. Rotate guys into that 4th line.

I could see the Rangers being interested in Brown. They like to think they are in the stage of their rebuild where they can have a quick turnaround.

Brown will help and is an RFA.

Use him in a package to get Hayes or Zucc?

Or maybe just a hockey deal...who knows.

Brown and Johnnson for Krieder and a meh player? Plenty of avenues to explore with NYR.

I think there is a reason they sent two people to watch Car/NYR

I needed the extra 45 seconds to make fun of the Habs.

Yeah well, the Habs (waits 44 seconds...) suck.

I would really like to get Kreider from the Rangers.. Kreider and McQuiad would both be useful for us.

Yes.

McQuaid to injure Bergeron.

Kreider to injure Price.

Road to the ECF is guaranteed.
