Well, hes a little more than a trouble making russian.
One of the best players in the league since he came in

Apparently the only thing that impresses you about hockey is goal scoring.

At least that’s how you seem to talk.

Well, unless you play D of course, that makes you something that shouldn’t be signed and should be traded if that’s the primary skill.

Fair enough. I do honestly believe that tho… it’s one of the primary reasons the leafs consider themselves Stanley cup competitors right now imo
- Dozzer

I had also mentioned that I think Benning and Dubas have two seasons left. If there isn’t good progress made, they gone.

The new GMs would then trade some big fish.

Last year:

Auston Matthews:
1st for the Richard Trophy (beat McDavid by almost 33%)
7th for the Art Ross
2nd for the Hart Trophy
3rd for Lady Byng (yeah, I know)
27th for Selke (tough to do when two other guys on your team are in top 25)
2nd team all-star

Mitch Marner:
4th for the Art Ross
Tied for 30th for the Richard Trophy
19th for the Hart Trophy
24th for the Lady Byng
10th for the Selke
1st team all-star

Yet all I've read for the past 2 hours is they are lazy, overpaid, non-backchecking bums.

Hey Leafs Nation: this is why we can't have nice things.

Some are never happy i guess
But they are little overpaid....just a bit

Ok bud.

Ov does more than score points.
Hes been a machine for years

He also agitates people like I said.

Otherwise he’s nothing special

Stop trying to make yourself seem smart when you don’t even post what you consider his talents are

Ok bud?

*shakes head*

I doubt it. I’m guessing Dubas will get another contract regardless of how the team does.

Why? Cause half his contract was spent changing LL’s goals and team build.

I’m not crazy about Matthews’ moustache.

The Lou stuff won’t matter when the time comes. Shanny is very smart politically and he will cut bait if he has to. I have no idea when that might be but he will move on.

Lol
Off the rails today.
The past couple of years hes been more invested in all aspects of the game...not just scoring. He defends....not all the time but more than ever, hes considered a great leader, hes a big physical threat.
Seriously, wtf are you so pissy about?

Some players are simply paid to score. Ovi is not one dimensional by any means. He lays the body, gets dirty, agitates, and can carry a team on his back simply based off his attitude.
And...he would have stood up for himself unlike Matthews.

No one is...but whatever floats his 6 figure boat.

You guys are way to pro Matthews

And I don’t want to wait til he’s nearly 40 to become a more advanced player which is what you just said ovi did.

Be good this year and dump Matthews end of story.

But how dare I say that in here? You guys chirp me for thinking that because you’re too busy practically masturbating thinking of him.

But you (frank)ing loathe Marner who is far more advanced when it comes to all aspects of the game.

I wanted to get in on the anti-Matthews train.

As I said…. Currently Matthews is a fantastic player but I’m betting he’ll start to fade in 2-3 years

Only 23 and already using injuries to blame when he doesn’t perform top end
- Dozzer

Well, he has had some injuries. I don't see anything to indicate he'll fade in 3 years. He's a savage beast entering his prime.

I hate Matthews. Love Marner but think he's grossly overpaid.

This is my damn point… if the leafs aren’t true cup contenders next year keep JT and MM and dump Matthews for high value picks, and a lot of them.

Move JT up to line one and go sign a free agent C for line 2… someone more around the 7 mill range

- Zezel

No he isn’t. He’s been getting hurt more and more often. He’s going to fade early in his career I (frank)ing know it.

I’m a complete loser. I like them both.

Like I said, Matthews is still great, but I don’t believe he will be very long

The Leafs will not be cup contenders based on this roster structure.. thats my hot take.

Well this looks likeit could be fun.

My god, plays top line, top PP, top PK, and puts up top 10 points year round… he’s getting what he deserves
