Cal Peterson = more bullets dodged

Yeah he was good once but when LA signed him he was a negative advanced metrics goalie. Anyone who said him were outing themselves

I’ve wanted another top 6 forward for a very long time but hard not to look at the success of TBL (Goodrow, Coleman, Savard, Paul, Hagel) or COL (Manson, Sturm, Lehkonen, Cogliano) all getting guys for their 3rd and 4th lines and some depth on defensive.

A guy like Meir/Garlard/Konecny/Niederreiter(although I despise using assets on a guy you COULD have had for free) would be awesome, targeting guys for the bottom six IMO is the right play.

Tolvanen, Motte, Barbashev, Athanasiou, Jones(ANA), Hartman(🤞)


We don't know for sure they could have had Nino for free. For all we know they offered him a deal and he just wanted to go to Nashville - I have a tough time believing that 2y x $4m is the best he could've done.

I really like Hartman, but I wonder if that price might be a bit extravagant. $1.7m for this year and next and he absolutely exploded last season... the optimistic value is probably what Coleman got but it wouldn't surprise me if they're asking for more.

Just give me Konecny or Bertuzzi for the energy, bite, and potential

Man if it wasnt for Samsonov it would be 3-0 SJS

Leafs got to stop playing down to opponents so many sloppy plays and odd man breakaways

Maybe 1 if we were lucky SJS has been getting the better chances.

To much sloppy play from the boyz and its once again against a lesser team

Smart shot/pass by Hollowell. That's +3 and point 2 for him (in 5 games).
They flashed up Matthews stats from this year vs. last and the numbers were extremely similar.

As we saw he has potential but on the Nieto goal also flashes his flaws

There is something there but idk if he becomes that with us or another team

Not a fan of the Mete-Hollowell pairing. That Nieto goal was avoidable as why leave the front of the net that open

At least Brodie should be back soon that should help stabilize things

If he was doing that while Leafs were playing like they did against Pittsburgh I would be like dam. But man the fact we play down to opponents doesnt even make me think of that as that chance is just screaming we not trying rn

As even if we get him and are doing it whats the point lul

If you think Meier only looks good because the Leafs are "playing down to the Sharks", you're sorely mistaken. Meier is an absolute workhorse and perfectly fits the archetype of a top 6 forward with bite that we all desperately want. As outlined on the SN broadcast, Meier has the second most goals in November, only behind Jason Robertson. He is a menace and would make our top 6 truly terrifying. Just imagine him with Matthews and Nylander

Hes really good but that chance never happens if Leafs were playing 100% focused. Leafs are playing sloppy tonight and making SJS look better and get chances like we saw from Meier. But we expect it at this point

Like we saw them utterly demolish Crosby and Malkin when they play seriously tonight nothing even close to that lul

I want to add but at the same time I see the issues with this team and go why reward them with a guy like this

Got to give it to Kerfoot and Engvall they stepped up when we really needed him

Hopefully this gets them going as Kerfoots starting to get points now (2 game point streak)

NOW MARNER GET A GOAL OR ASSIST ALREADY

Got to love this team man

They play down and in the third sometimes find a way to wrestle up a win

Happy for Marner but man can we not play down to lottery team standards lul

I am rooting for him to show Keefe he can be a full time member in the lineup

But I am also hoping Jarnkrok aint out to long as he was starting to get things together

Unrelated to the Leafs game tonight, I just wanted to thank you boys for the discussion so far this season. I was looking around at some of the other team's season discussion threads and we absolutely tower over each and everyone. It's refreshing to have a community where you can just talk hockey with a few of the lads in a very active forum
