I'll say it again, Marincin should go to the Hall of Fame in a new category of guys who somehow kept getting NHL contracts.

Yeah man.

Yeah man.
- Larry_Fine

It is impressive. He's making a good living being just good enough to get NHL contracts. The funny thing is, that makes him among the best hockey players in the world.

What stats am I ignoring?

The stats that show coaches always use Marner/Hyman/Matthews/Tavares before Nylander?

No, should I?

I read Mitch played bad and made Nylander look good or something like that and closed it. 🤣

Mitch is a team player. I saw stats today on the most trolled online players. Wilson was first, Panarin was second or third and Willie was fourth

Honestly, the Leafs need a couple of value guys in the lineup. Engvall is too expensive for the 4th line but he's great value if he could be a consistent 3rd liner. I think he has the talent (speed, size, decent enough mitts) if he could find the "hockey sense".

If they could line up two good 3rd liners with some size and grit I'd be cool with the Giraffe on one of the wings.

Frederik Gauthier (F)

well that's how I see him as

The answer here is Nylander and Marner are both stars and haters need to take a chill pill

ahhhhhh the old Santo “naked eye test” and disregard the stats.

It depends. In the ring, Willie should win. But if Little Mitchy get a foreign object shot over the glass then it's advantage Little Mitchy.

Now Willie is the better scorer so he probably has a better finishing move. Like "The Walls of Willie" or "Sweet Willie Music." But Little Mitchy could use "The Mitchy I'm not clutch" or the "Playoff Leg Flop."

There's so many variables to consider and it's all just so random. Whichever player is the luckiest will win. We haven't even looked at their JFresh cards yet.

Are you nuts? Mitch "The Assist" Marner? He bails on a hit and distracts the ref. While Willy fixes his hair, *boom* Simmonds crawls out from under the ring and cross-checks Willy in the face. The ref is stunned! Why is this man suddenly napping? Whatever, his job is to count to three while The Assist racks up another Primary . .

I only said “if” 1 of the 4 had to go it would be Willie.

And only my opinion 😬

Frederik Gauthier (F)

- dmnted

Oh come on...he’s not that bad.

If he didn’t play with cement head and offside Simmonds all year he could have racked up some points.

He’s not too expensive for line 4 imo.

Spezza makes up in his savings.

Uncle Leo makes 3.5 or something on line 4 🤣 in NYI

Put a shooter on his line and someone with some hockey sense.

Engvall Spezza Robertson or something
- Garnie

Islanders don't have 3 forwards...or 3 any position...making $34M, and they went farther in the playoffs than the Leafs....so there's that.

Trade the guy that leads the team in ice time, harsh but fair.

I don't see how willie can ever lose that one based on money alone. That extra 4 million wins every single time.

Come on, Marner or willie + enough extra cash to turn Dermott into Parayko. 🤷🏻‍♂️

In

Gibson
Larsson
Cizikas
McCann

Out

Hyman
Foligno
Andersen
Thornton
Kerfoot

yeah sugar is bad poop

it helps so much to find a sport or workout you get really into and just do forever, that's the key imo

My wife is quietly passed at me over weight loss (in a joking way). She bought into a weight loss program last year and is now down 40 pounds. In January I decided to do it my way...cut back on the snacks...walk the dog for am hour a day......and ride the new stationary bike we bought for 30 minutes a day (45 on weekends). I have dropped 30 pounds and the Mrs. Is pissed at me for catching up to her so quickly! Lol

Same boat but we did it different ways, my wife lost 40 pounds (which is ridiculous cause she was like 140 to begin with), and I just basically drank more beer and gained 20 pounds. Made her feel good during her weight loss journey or some poop. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Now I got a good buck 20 on her and happy wife happy life.

Man what a favour if this goes the way we hope it does.

Kerfoot gone. McCann in for cheaper. All for Hollander and a 7th.
- Aaron_85

I still think it was a mistake to not go 7 forwards and 3 defense. Protect kerfoot and McCann, then trade kerfoot. There's no way Holl has more value than kerfoot and I doubt they would've taken Holl, they'd probably take Dermott. Regardless of who they take from Holl or Dermott, the remaining guy plays with muzzin in the top 4. Just seems like bad asset management from Dubas.

ahhhhhh the old Santo “naked eye test” and disregard the stats.

I think Dubas protected Holl only because for 2 mil per he puts in some solid minutes with Muzzin,it will allow Sandin to play a sheltered role on the 3rd pairing & PP to get more NHL experience, he wasn't exactly spectacular in the playoffs, sheltered minutes will be huge for his game. With the money saved by having Holl play big minutes on that value contract Dubas can try to work something bigger that hopefully involves knuckle puck Reilly. I think what Holl brings for the $$ is more valuable then Kerfoot at this particular time when Dubas has to squash every cent. Dubas has to do something big and Holl gives him a bit more $$ to work with.
