Even if he doesn't play a single game for the Leafs, we don't lose anything. Douglas wouldn't have been an NHL contributor here. Bagheads will baghead I suppose


It’s like they just want to complain

Even though Timmins got that injury history man if he can just stay healthy we got a nice third pair (potential 2nd pair guy) on our hands

And if we can get the Colorado version we gonna have fun

As this guy could pass and set up plays which is something we need rn

Ehh he is 24, and Injuries have lost him major dev time. I'd be very hesitant to say his upside is more than an NHLer right now. Sure it's possible but it's hitting the lottery level luck if it happens

In general as we saw with Liligren no rush. Heck Holl was a feel good story till last season

Now that hes got a spot just play and develop as Dman often dont peak till 28 so hes got time. Lucky for him Gio probs gonna be his partner and I cant think of a better mentor.

Just got to stay healthy

Very reassuring. I'm pumped to see what he brings, hopefully he bumps Holl out of the lineup so we can move on and utilize that 2 mil elsewhere

Nah lily was overcooked. Not the same at all.

And D do not peak at 28. That's when decline tends to start. Update your age curves lol.

Once you're past 23 you tend to be what you are

Nah Lily needed that amount of time. He did not look good even when called up 2019-2020

That long AHL stint was perfect and were reaping the rewards from it as he has taken a very nice step forward this year especially.

That's called overcooking. Timmins didn't even get that as he missed so much time.

Also since you were too fast:

I think we might have found our 3c. At the TDL maybe find someone to play with him and Jarnkrok and they are set

Still deciding whether Kerfoot or Engvall to be moved on from as both have strengths but also notable flaws

Ironically if we go by earlier rumors

Vatrano-Holmberg-Jarnkrok aint a bad idea

Yeah same. Honestly if Engvall played more physical I would say otherwise

He has made some good passes but man 6'5 220 pounds and he plays so passive. Give me some energy.

Both borderline but hey cant touch em or be in blue paint

Engvall learned that SO MANY TIMES

But yeah I though he had a Dang-It

Not really convinced it worked honestly. Media narrative is counter to the actual results.

I do like a guy who can clear the net front tho

Can we take a moment and just admire the effort Mitch put into setting up this goal. Nothing short of spectacular, this guy is a superstar.
