No he doesn't. Seems like you're the uninformed one this time...he's never even hit 55 points in College or AHL.

Oh thanks, I couldn't read a chart full of numbers. This was helpful.

No it's not Roeper you're just not intellectually able to understand the criticism. With Tavares Mathews and Kadri already at center paying Nylander near 7 when you still have to sign Marner is short sighted.

At best Nylander is a 3C in that situation. And near 7M for a 3C is not smart.

Just because you don't have the mental acuity to grasp that doesn't mean it's not true

That's not what the argument was at all. You are changing it now due to Nelson getting 6. We were told Dubas got "Bent Over" and Nylander was millions overpaid.

Nylander is a 1st line winger.

How much do RW1's get? Because the Leafs have two, and one is signed at $6.9M.

Which is fine. But that's not good when you have no defense to speak of

An 11M RW and a 7 M RW and 2 11 M centers and a Swiss cheese defense that can't make it out of the first round

It's that kind of shortsighted illogical thinking why you've won nothing for over 50 years..... hockey does have a defensive component. Leaf fans have yet to grasp that.

Morgan Rielly would BY FAR be better than anyone on the Isles blueline.

And Marlies have terrific D that will join the Leafs.

marincin is top 4

You forgot to comment on Sandin. Lilljegren and Rosen.

Marincin is not top 4. Where did you get that?
- RogerRoeper

He's a top pairing defenseman on any NHL team

Then why did the leads give up 50+ more goals than the islanders?
Reilly is fine but you don't seem to get that you need at least 6

This is a case of buying high. Nelson has underachieved most of his career. Had his best year to date with 50 points which I don’t think is worth 6 mil a year long term. Also means Eberle and Lee would get more 🤦🏻‍♂️

Because Isles had by far the best goaltending in the entire NHL. It hid a lot of warts. And both goalies are UFAs.

Don't expect those goaltending #'s to continue..

Ridiculous. Typical dumb islanders fan with no understanding of the market.

Who were you replacing Nelson with and for how much

And if Freddy Andersen doesn't continue to stand on his head the Leafs' GA will probably look like the Islanders did a year ago ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Kevin Hayes with a career-high of 55pts for $7M

What is this, your 8th post trying to trying relate Nelson to Nylander in the last 5 minutes? Change your diaper
- eichiefs9

Islanders fans should talk about diapers. "we don't need him" Ring a bell?

Still had a better defense by far than the leafs. Anyways just wishful thinking on your part. As are Liljegren Rosen and Sandin

How do we know they are any better than Zaitsev. The last leads defensive savior

You'd think after 52 years your learn something

And if Freddy Andersen doesn't continue to stand on his head the Leafs' GA will probably look like the Islanders did a year ago ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
- eichiefs9

Nothing about Andersen's #'s say he "Stood on his head". And he once again was the reason they didn't beat Boston.

I'd sit here and type out the mile-long list of embarrassing things Leafs fans have done but I think you know all about that already.

It's a shame the handful of you guys on here make everyone look bad because there are some really good Leafs posters here.

We didn't need him. we were better than you,without him than you were with him. And you still couldn't get out of the 1st round?
Worry about your own team which hasn't won anything in 52 years

The leafs fan base is the only one I know that gets more joy out of others failures than their own meager successes.

I guess that's because unless you're over 60 you haven't had any successes

It's a bad deal. 53 points his career high.

Isles won 1 more playoff game than the Leafs.
There is no one who takes the Isles roster over the Leafs next year.

Again with the wishful thinking.

You're assuming things that haven't happened for 52 years

How many Stanley cups have you actually seen the leafs win?

I've seen 4 with the isles that I was there for in attendance

And yes we were still better without Tavares than you were with him. And it's doesn't matter if we win only 1 more playoff game we got out of round one....

You didnt

Until you understand that you need offense AND defense you'll go nowhere

Penguins, #mnwild in trade talks surrounding Phil Kessel.

@JoshYohe_PGH has confirmed what I reported Tuesday about potential Jason Zucker-Victor Rask for Kessel-Jack Johnson swap. Lots of details in this story + other possible landing spots for Zucker
