Just so we’re clear, y’all missed the playoffs. Auston seems confused claiming they were eliminated in the first round.

(frank)ing relax Barfalo fan

brucey - flyers fan...you're a deek - know what I mean

That’s a real shame...
- Steven_Seagull

Sure is...

Islanders murdered the Caps.

I wonder if Tavares misses the island and questions coming into this hockey hotbed.

Great place if you’re winning.....

Nahh... Marner isn't the problem. On more than one occasion he saved a sure EN goal for the Leafs this playoff series. He played pretty decent defensively but had some hiccups on offense a couple of games.

The Leafs D is atrocious and the 3rd line needs a lot of work.

A consistent goalie would be terrific too.
- mjones242

Besides AM what forward was good all series, Kerfoot? Fourth line came on and JT came on. But that’s it.

D is bad but the 9 goals against (I think) weren’t what cost us the series especially when you count in the softies.

This was all shared up and down the line up.

See you in...December.

Predicted 4 forwards making 40 million
is a completely asinine allocation of
cap space ✅

Predicted columbus would win non-playoff play-in round ✅

Brought to the attention of the fanbase that Shanahan/Dubas are totally inept ✅

I think that about does it.

My work here is done.

Book it.


You're such an asshat dude - get fack outta here with your bullpoop!!!!

I mean your franchise is an embarrassment...

If that’s what it takes for you to sleep in your Tavarres Leaf jammies at night...

Pretty sure most GM’s want a 1st rounder...

Unless they’re a little meh in the head...
- bruceflyers

Been a while since Flyers have won the Cup right?
What has your franchise done recently?

Why move Nylander?
He & AM are on the best contracts of the big 4.

You don't move a top 2C no matter that he skews the cap. Marner is the Leafs best playmaker & every team needs those. Problem is he gets paid like Kane but has no cups.

So it falls onto support players on good contracts to make up for the big 4 to give them the D that’s needed. That is a flawed idea.

Fair enough, I could point my fingers at the 2nd line as well.

The problem with the D isn't just their defensive play but also their ability to carry the puck forward and contribute offensively. Rielly is the only player on the Leafs D who isn't an absolute black hole when it comes to actually being creative and dangerous on the attack.

Marner is not the problem. Is he paid a million too much? Maybe. But that's not enough to warrant wanting to trade him.

He's 23 and has heart. (frank) the trade Marner narrative. Dubas is correct: criticism of Marner IS idiotic.

Nope, doesn’t seem that way.

- Nighthawk

The D needed would like some salary too, 1 of the 4 would need to go and Nylander would be the guy if it was my choice.

Teams build around core stars but not at a $40m hit. It’s never been done spending nearly 50% on 4 players so who thinks it would automagically work now? If it ever had a hope it would have to be the right 4 so are AM JT MM WN just that?

Nylander is the easiest contract to move and the most attractive. That's why you move him over Marner.

Also, Marner is a complete player while Willie, whilst offensively talented, isn't in the same conversation as Mitch in terms of talent and heart.

Which top 2C are you referring to?

I think he's referring to JT though it seemed for a second like he was implying Willie was a 2C.

- mjones242

AM and the 4th line is about it.

Freddie played well except a few minutes

Rielly was ok I thought, at least when he gets the puck it usually makes it out our zone.

A lot were mediocre at best and some just downright sucked.

🤷🏻‍♂️

I’m not putting it on one person. Obviously the D is a real weakness but this series went far deeper and they still came close.

Which raises the other problem: constantly coming close but not being able to finish and not playing consistently.

They need to change the make up of the team somehow.

We are clear enough to figure out who the idiots are.

- Garnie

It falls to WN by acclimation with everyone in blind love with the highest 3 paid. His contract is reasonable as is AM’s. The other 2 sorry.

Trading 9 million for 7 million...
Then signing Pietrangelo for 8.5 million...

So that’s conservatively over 6 million in the salary cap red ink.

Remember...your team gave up the 13th overall pick this draft just so Patrick Marleau could play for another hockey team this year.

NOT GOOD.
- bruceflyers

Remember, barrie and ceci and gone. Theres 6.5 million.
It funny, the flyers are finally relevant for the first time in a decade and now their dumb trolls are out.

at the time of trade, the pick would of been 22~31 range was the thinking of the Leafs

Hyman being MIA says a lot. JT only coming on towards the end says a lot. Maybe we don’t understand what the Covid start really meant but there was no consistency and that was a problem over the year. (Not JT and Hyman necessarily)
