Toronto doesn't need Klingberg. Fantastic OFD, but they need to bolster their left wing and maybe add a low pairing shutdown D.


I am fine if they don't add anything. If they could add a depth D somehow that would be great, but unless they look to sell high on Kerfoot right now, I am more than fine heading into the playoffs with:
Bunting Matthews Marer
Kerfoot Tavares Nylander
Mikheyev Kampf Kase
Engvall Spezza Simmonds

Once the playoffs start and the cap is gone, you've got Ho-Sang, Steeves, and if he comes back healthy, Roberston as your deadline additions.

You’re a bit nitpicking here, Ref can’t exactly see Schenn holding Heiskanen’s stick, does anyone actually know/enforce the playing the puck with a broken stick rule, I feel like this is more venting than actual criticsm of the reffing


Quoting: Alfie11
It was ROR’s only penalty the year he won the byng lol, and yeah it’s a reasonable expectation for an NHL ref to know and enforce all the rules, even the ones a casual hockey fan might not be aware of. And if neither ref can see a blatant penalty (especially one literally two feet away), then they’re in the wrong position.


This ^

I may be nit-picking the Kyrou call, but the two others still stand. The ref is maybe 2 feet away from them, how can he not call at least one of the penalties? From his angle you see Heiskanen falling down with Buch’s stick in Heiskanen’s skates and Heiskanen’s stick in Schenn’s hand. Pretty obvious one of them made him fall.

I struggle to see how all of these games are going to get played unless the NHL goes deep into July again.

Could they use the Olympics break to go through as many as possible, or have the upcoming games just been shifted to fill in?

They will use the olympics break to cram those games in, we might also see a situation where the playoffs are happening while 2 non-playoff teams play each other

Probably gonna go back to Sweden I’d guess. I thought pretty highly of him after his AHL rookie season (48 pts in 59 gp) but he’s been producing at a decreasing rate for 2 years running. That kinda production wasn’t gonna get him NHL looks so he probably just wanted to go back home.

I don't know if you guys have already started this, cause I haven't been part of the discussion recently but:
I think we should come up with sorta like a tsn trade bait board, but our own.
