Matthews is in the playoffs. Unless you want him stripped from your team to go play for USA, then he is not eligible.

Edit: I don't know why Kane isn't on the team though.

NHL players don't want to play more games, most of the were playing banged up and the schedule put a strain on them, they want their break

Edit: I'm pretty sure players like Adam Fox, Patrick Kane and others announced they wouldn't play for their respective teams

Well they don't want to ice a mostly young squad, they need leaders and they get that with Abdelkader, Boyle and other former NHL players

Players are allowed to choose whether to go or not. It’s not like USA hockey thinks this is the best team they could have. And honestly, unless you’re a fringe player with something to prove, why on earth would you want to go there right now?

marner_marleau.jpg

2021-2022 - Dubas brings Marleau back for old time sake


Could definitely come in at league min and help out since he is planning on rebounding. Leafs gotta save money where they can.

Tho we gotta see what happens this playoffs

Marleau is 100% done after this season. Him and Thornton are going in the Hall in three years.

Not sure on that one bud, Nill has his reputation of signing old ass players.

Most games played record gets him in.

I don't disagree with you, his resume isn't solid enough to warrant an induction (let alone a first year eligibility one).

Oh you meant you think he gets in not he deserves to get in, yeah sadly records and trophies are hall of fame inductions and not stats and team value

Marleau is going to join the Neely, Lowe, Carbonneau category of "can justify why they shouldn't be in but are anyways".

Marleau literally said he isn’t done, and has zero plans on go away so it’s not close to 100% at all. He plans on playing - and I’d assume someone would offer a league min (hoping the Sharks don’t).

Should he play; eh not on my team lol.

We should move on from all three IMO. Only Oleksiak could maybe stay depending on the price.

F*ck my life. It's clear as day that you should fire your coach after you failed to make the playoffs after getting to the cup finals, also he has a career record of 166-321-48-22 which is terrible. He also plays Blake Comeau 16 minutes a night. There is no reason at all why they should keep him.
