What the frank has Lou done, exactly?

He brought in Komarov and Martin.

This is still very much Snow's team.
- Atomic Wedgie

He signed Lehner and hired Trotz

But I totally agree with you, he really hasn't done much.

Lou spent a lot of ownership's $ on an elite coach who clearly was looking for a ton of $. That's not hard. This success is on Trotz.

cry about Marleau he is way more of an issue if you are concerned about cap space

It's funny how Leafs fans get their personal whipping boys - and we just feel so entitled to rip them a new one.

Every day on here I read how terrible Gardiner is.

FFS, he's playing with Zaitsev, who makes more than him.

Why are we ripping Gardiner and ignoring Zaitsev?

Zaitsev is franking horrible.

I think you missed what I said.
- RogerRoeper

No i didnt.
I like kadri, nice cap hit good player.
Hes just not a top 20 center.

- TheMussel

Funny that people are brainwashed into believing the Leafs have just one of the worst Ds.

Name one.
- Atomic Wedgie

Nazem would play top line in Montreal, and I'd make a case for him to be a #1 in Vegas

Have you watched him play a game this year. Terrible defensively. By far the worst +/- on the team. very lazy player.

He is, for all intents and purposes, useless at even strength.

My whipping boy is currently on vacation.

I said he's be #1 on some NHL teams.
And actually, he's been a top 30 C the past 3 seasons FYI.

He does this quite a bit, actually. I know Max is blind when it comes to Bill Ny, but man, lots of people seem to ignore it, too.
- GreatGigInTheSky

If someone can't give him credit for a great game last night, then they aren't being objective and aren't worth hearing out.

Z played great with Dermott last night. Small sample size I know.

signed Lehner thats the best move

I laughed when I saw that the Toronto Star had an article stating the Islanders are "contenders" when all we hear from the MSM is that Toronto isn't ready yet.

Traikos has his "power rankings" in the Sun. He has the Leafs 11th, behind the Habs ( ) and a few other laughable teams.

- TheMussel

Yeah, it's close, but I'd pick Vegas too. I'd also argue he's have a shot on Nashville. Johansson is overpaid and overrated.
Look at Johnsson's career stats. Not good for an 8 million C.

Or it may be just that he's really franking old.

As per Gauthier, he's the exact same as Joe Colborne. I really, really, really wanted Colborne to work out.

But damn, they gave the guy 57 bajillion chances, and he just couldn't hockey at an NHL level. I remember going to the last pre-season game before they gave him away to Calgary, and damn, he was awful.
- Atomic Wedgie

In Calgary, Colborne was ok, just ok..

I disagree with your assessment of Johansen

- RogerRoeper

You said #1 on some playoff teams. But anyways.. carry on

Cool.
Show me which list he was top 30? Which still isnt top 20.
Good player, not arguing that, jjust not a number 1.
Also, name one playoff team he would be the clear cut number 1?

I disagree with your assessment of Johansen
- TheMussel

He makes 8 million. He' s hit 70 once, and 60 2 other times. Kadri never got the TOI as a #1, and has more 30 goal seasons, makes 3.5 million per less.

Check out scoring for Cs the past few years. He' s in the top 30. He's had 31 goals each of the past 2 years.

- TheMussel

Yeah, I edited my post to say Montreal.

I don't think he'd be #1 in Vegas, though.

What aboot eye test

- LeafGuy89

And I named them. And my playoff team comment was my second comment on it. My first said "Some Teams".

What aboot eye test
- TheMussel

Intangibles!

Leaf fans would be irate if their #1 C made 8 million per and he had those career stats.

WE've got a 2-way 30 goal/60 point C at 4.5 million who got below-avg. second line C TOI.
