Depth scoring is a problem for the vast majority of teams. Edmonton had the same issue but they just signed our goalie while we added a guy that Ottawa couldn’t wait to dump.

I believe your take on Kadri over Tavares is weighted heavily on recency bias.

Yeah, Murray is a question mark, but pretending paying an old goalie until he's 37, coming off a pretty terrible playoffs and an injury that helped him be terrible is an even riskier proposition. He's more expensive and the term is dumb. Throw in the fact that you made the forwards so much worse and it isnt even close. this is a worse team

ah yes, noted great decision makers the edmonton oilers.

It’s based on the fact that you can’t pay two top line centres 11 million dollars a year and expect to win a cup.

Their top core is absolutely legit, their bottom core is without a doubt their Achilles heal.

Washington ran a core featuring Alex Ovechkin, Nik Backstrom, John Carlson, Dmitri Orlov, and Braden Holtby for six years before finally winning in year seven. The secondary core at the beginning of their window featured players such as Alex Semin, Marcus Johansson, Brooks Laich, Dennis Wideman, and Troy Brouwer. When they eventually won, the secondary group was completely replaced by Evgeny Kuznetsov, Tom Wilson, TJ Oshie, Lars Eller, and Matt Niskanen.

By the time Tampa Bay eventually broke through, the Lightning had added players like Yanni Gourde, Blake Coleman, and Barclay Goodrow, while Erik Cernak and Mikhail Sergachev matured into significant contributors. If we want to look at the Tampa Bay teams from the beginning of the decade that featured Steven Stamkos and Victor Hedman (along with players like Alex Killorn, Ondrej Palat, and Tyler Johnson) as the original core, by the time they won, Brayden Point and Alexei Vasilevskiy were developed as well. In essence, they added to their primary core and their secondary core.

Who is scoring here?

LOL i watched him as well, also lead the leafs to no cups, he was bad and so is his son

If you think Tavares is overpaid for what he provides now, you're not gonna like Kadri at 7 million through his 30s. Definitely doesn't get Toronto closer to the cup.

They’re basically a slightly better version of the Leafs

lol you have no comeback so you resort to accusing of swtiching accounts, such a dumb troll you are

Kadri is worth 7 million. JT is not worth 11 million. It’s really that simple

they take all the leafs send offs

youre a clown, its really that simple, kinda asahmed youve gotten this much attention which was your goal

lol, they'd be a wild card team at best if they were in the east

You have mental issues. Seek help

this team is way worse than the current leaf team

you take time of your day to troll people, youre insecure, change your username, youre disgracing dougie

Kadri has one season in his entire career that was worth 7 million, and he's not doing it again.

you're the one making up stories on the internet about multiple people being one person just so you can pretend less people disagree with you. Maybe you should take your own advice. Or is everyone else in this thread also me?

Hopefully a few of those bottom 6 guys break out a little offensively because yah, it’s definitely lacking scoring wise (it’s a good shutdown 3rd line, but they probably won’t score too much). I think it comes down to if some guys can break out like Robertson or Holmberg. If they can get a few guys to break out a bit, the top 6 should be enough to carry them.

lmao such a loser

Watching leafs fans argue with each other like 12 year olds is funny

Yes, and all Habs fans love each other.

This is what you get when you are an original 6 franchise

Yup a lot of IF's.

The other option is all 4 of the big 4 go on fire for the playoffs lol.
