I like Nylander better than Marner.

Doubtful either of them get traded but if one does it'll be Nylander.

Again doubtful either way.

Mike Augello: Kings top-six forward pursuit could be a fit with Leafs

honk your nose

From a kings fans perspective,nylander is not a good fit for the kings.imo he doesnt play a 2 way game that would make him fit into our system.to me it doesnt make sense to trade away prospects that we have used high draft picks to get and developed that could become just as good as nylander.

box #1 - Nylander
box #2 - a player that might becomes as good as Nylander

Or they could turn out to be significantly less then Nylander. Also, most sane Leafs fans do not want to trade Nylander for prospects who may never pan out.

If it improves the team, then fine.


I’ll always have those FanFictions I wrote.

In the early seventies I wouldn’t have gone to see Lightfoot even if it was free. Now I love the guy.

Back then it was all Black Sabbath and Jimi for me. No wonder my parents always had a concerned look on their faces.

At least you got one right

The Leafs need to figure out how to run a (frank)ing power play. Rielly is the guy that needs to go and we need to bring back someone who is effective on the PP like, oh I dunno, Dougie (frank)ing Hamilton!

If Marner is traded in July he's only owed $8.3M/year going forward in actual dollars (10.9M AAV). That's pretty damned attractive.

Dubas also promised Nylander he'd never get traded. Did he make same deal with Mitchell?

was the PP good during the regular season? Maybe it is more coaching than players...

I'm sure he can share some of the blame with Rielly. Neither one of them can shoot the puck but sure seem to enjoy cycling on the periphery looking for AM34.

To wit: Rielly and Mitch need to go.

He’s actually owed 6.2M per year after the signing bonus is paid on July 1st.

It’s been a while since it’s been good.

A bit of column A and a bit of column B.

Marner can't shoot. Rielly's point shot isn't a threat. AM34 is the predictable and only recipient for the pass = hilarious terriblenous ensues.

Coaches didn't realize the fatal flaw and kept going back to the well because it's hard to push an 11M player out of the PP1 unit when he was doing just fine there before the cat was out of the bag.

Nylander and Matthews should be your shooters. A bomb from the point gives another weapon. Not exactly rocket science but it would seem so as that simple strategy slipped by the coaching intelligentsia.

Is he? Even better - I must have forgotten to subtract this year's salary (or something) in my bad math.

It was first or second in the league for the first third of the season or so. It got really stale. They were so committed to puck possession they just moving it to an open guy even if there was no shot there.

No shot from the point was part of the problem but there was no ouch retrieval, they weren’t creating any chaos and everyone just collapsed. But it’s all fixed if we trade a guy.

Which one?

Jimi the GOAT

The Leafs weren’t good enough to get through the 1st round. Next year they won’t be able to ice a team as good as this one, and they think they’ll get through the 1st round next year because……….???

What a disaster Dubas has built, and they don’t have the backbone to admit it.

The Sabbath paranoid album was a classic. If I’m in the car and they play anything from it I still crank it up to full volume. Unfortunately I tend to stomp on the gas too.

Agreed.
