Not Nylander.

And we also didn’t want him to trade Kadri. And we also expected him to fill out the roster with guys who can bring other element of the game.

Correction: YOU

And he said as much, he is not a dummy. He knows the stakes.



He will get several shots at it, its not this one season and well thats it.

shanahan gave dubas the keys to the ferrari and he's driving right off a cliff.

somebody else needs to take the wheel.

Rielly, Barrie and Kerfoot to Canucks
for
Hughes, Tanev, DiPietro and Virtanen

What about it?
Marner was chastised on here for it. Only there are no marner wives here to get offended by it

Deflect
Deflect.

Yeah everyone on here was saying TRADE MARNER and they he sucks defensively.

for the leafs to contend:

-they need to keep the core of reilly, andersen, matthews, tavares, marner and nylander together,
-get a top 10 draft pick this year
- sell muzzin and barrie for decent returns.

then in 3 years they should have one good shot at winning the cup; before having to blow it up with sloppy seconds contracts.

you misspelled “Kapanen and souperman “
👍

I'm not debating he doesn't have value, just not as much to bring in some of the returns being theorized, if he is indeed as lazy and ineffective as some here make him out to be. It doesn't make sense to lob complaints about his game and then turn around and trade him and an AHL goalie for a top 4 defensive PP quarterback, a 24yo nearly point per game player, a young quality back up goaltender, and a tire fire of a team's 3rd round pick.

Ummm, before you go there, ranger fans were on board with it. In fact they insisted we take brady. They also suggested georgiev and buchnevich for nylander.
So you can take your whole im delusional statement and shove it up your bruin ass. Especially when you make such a stupid assumption that it was a leaf fan idea.

Yeah lets hand someone the wheel that goes crazy after losses and trades the whole team away.

Hopefully the new guy knows quitersi.

I bet he’s really good with Microsoft excel

If dubas was a really good GM he'd go back in time and draft Connor McDavid

Patrik Laine

8 goals and 19 assists in 26 games

-4

Yeah, he’s been spectacular
- Arctic_AARDVARK

AA - you should know better by now... even attempting to use "non-advanced-stats"... that haven't be approved by the NylanderLoveGroup... is just not acceptable.

they will be pointing you to Greta Thunberg...

she will put up a stalwart defense of Willy... which he obviously can't do himself.

Patrik Laine

Yeah not bad, must have worked on his passing and acknowledgement that other people exist during the off-season

I haven’t watched him play lately. But when I do watch him he doesn’t make me horny.

Or, you know, we could discuss it like adults and I could point out why I disagree with you and those Rangers fans?

dubas is clueless.

the honeymoon is over with keefe.

keefe was put into a position to fail. mid-season hire with zero nhl coaching experience in a high pressure market on an underachieving team.

for keefe to be successful, he needed to be a may hire. give him the whole summer to prepare.

this if (frank)ing bush league / nonis level gm'ing.

Yeah, but we never really had a great chance of getting McDavid..

Laine was right there, and we drafted an overpaid C instead..

Buchnevich, Skjei and Georgiev for Nylander? I'm not so sure I'd say 'yes' to that.

I’m really happy they Oilers got McDavid.
