Yup, the narrative around him is the opposite but the coach's constant catering to him causes a rift in the room.


I would've never guessed. Could he be moved then? Make Scheifele captain?

Idk if he could with his contract and the management is happy with him, they seem oblivious to what's going on, doubt he's going anywhere and Scheifele isn't captain material either, they should be running three assistant captains.

Leafs aren't trading for Bobby Orr Weegar.



Bobby Orr? Haha last time I checked, he wasn’t in the NHL.

He's channelling his greatness through Weegar.

Wheeler is a ****ty leader/captain and is the reason for the Jets drama the last few years.

I'll give you 3:
- Wikipedia is a reliable and trustworthy source
- Donald Trump was a good president
- Connor McDavid will not play his whole career in Edmonton


Can we get some citations on that second one?

Obviously there’s a lot of subjectivity for lists and players. I think jones’ stats say he’s good. But the eye test does a lot. The two real ways we judge players right.

His stats aren’t mind blowing - but he’s also a more defensive player (on a defensive team as you said) and still puts up good points. Jones is a player where I say the eye test is when he shines. He’s just such a good player to watch in the sense that you always see good/ greatness (you could probably find a clip of a mistake but in the handful [10-20] games I see of Jones a year I can’t recall a single mistake - compared to my team where I may watch more games but I clearly remember mistakes my defenders make even a couple years ago). Jones is just fantastic as well as when you look at the jackets this past year - they dealt with a ton of injuries and lost man games. But they faired well all year - except when they lose Jones (which also could be categorized as a “stat). When they lost Jones, if I recall the lines in the article I saw them in, they didn’t do well at all.


They did fall off a cliff when he was hurt and I admit, Jones is a very nice two-way defenseman with strong skating, very physical and excellent positioning. But when I look at some of the underlying numbers, plus the (albeit minimal) game footage, I just don't quite think he's an elite all-around player. He's not bad by any means, but I just can't put him up there with the best of the best, like Hedman, Hamilton and Josi

It’s just logic on the way you typed it up, unless it was a typo. There’s no need to get all upset about it, all I’m saying is that he is nowhere close to the knowledge, and skill of Orr.

You missed the point completely. Leaf fans posted ACGM lineups for 2 months with Weegar on the Leafs. Hence my nickname for him. Bobby Orr Weegar. You actually thought I was comparing the 2 players? 🤣
