He's not. He's actually a gigantic douchebag. And that's coming from multiple people at the Edmonton Police Services who have had encounters with him.

the quote was around "Taylor Hall is one of the best people to talk to, great person - smart world-class athlete. He brings things up in hockey related conversations that most other players would not - he's very analytically inclined, interested in new developments he wants to learn about etc. - all because he wants to be a better player and a better person".

the two journalists were very positive about him.

maybe Edmonton Police are bumholes?

People do generally mature, learn from mistakes, etc. as they grow. So maybe he's turned a corner in life (and I'm sure if I was a twenty whatever year old making millions a year I would have done some stupid/regrettable things too).

But I have heard several stories from people I know personally (who are not bumholes) of his time in Edmonton, and it was top-knotch d-baggery.

Easiest way to gauge someone's IQ is their reaction to nylander number change. The amount if idiocy is astounding.

He took leaf legend number. Sacrilegious.



Extrapolated over 82 games, lindros would have scored 54 pts as a leaf, nylander twice had scored over 60. People are (frank)ing stupid.

He played 33 games as a leaf, but people are legit calling him a leaf legend.

Nylander is soft and lindros was a monster who ran over guys, so therefore nylander doesn't deserve to wear that number.

Usually that don’t need 3 years in the minors.

Once Marner is signed, there will be $40m on the CAP committed to 4 forwards (Matthews, Tavares, Marner and Nylander).

I think Dubas has it under control for this season but also knows it is highly problematic to have a salary structure that is so top heavy on the CAP. And, more provoking, so thin and vulnerable after the top six.

My guess is the Leafs are fine until Christmas. But the league gets a lot tougher after Christmas and especially in the playoffs where depth and winning become synonymous.

Dubas knows he is going to have to deal one of the big four salaries sometime in the next 12 months. It is probably wise for him to go slow and pick his spot.
