Gonna have a rant about them and kerfoot later

Like seriously kerfoot had a breakaway and i don't even know how to explain how he failed that net drive that bad lul

And man Holmberg looks a bit overwhelmed in the t6

Maybe this potential loss will cause dubas to trade 🤔

Holmberg has looked good in the top 6 tonight. Not that he should be there permanently or anything, but his intelligence and his ability to execute on his thoughts at a high pace is a good combination to play with good players

I hate the lack of identity that line has. Last year, our third line was Mikheyev, Kampf, Kase. Mikheyev and Kase were great in both ends while Kampf was a reliable center. The new third line has zero identity. I really like the idea of a Wood - Hartman - McMann line, or really just any third line that has a definitive identity

The only way I could get behind a Sam Lafferty addition is he is signed for another year at 1.1

Cause for all that I love Kampf, signing him for more then 1.7 would be a terrible mistake.

I don't understand how Steeves hasn't been called up yet. Really want to see him given an extended look, his offense is tantalizing

So knowing our history pls let this potential loss lead to a trade

This sucks

How many combinations do we have left

Alright so the Rant

Toronto does not have a 3rd line I refuse to call what I see playing a 3rd line. I like the guys but that should be a 4th line

McMann has looked good but I think its time for a swap. Steeves, Gaudette, whoever's the next guy should get a shot

Now to Kerfoot. Seriously wtf does he do besides defense. This game is highlighting we can officially start looking for a replacement.

Sandin-Timmins like seriously it seems Timmins has lost whatever magic he had when he first came as everyone whose been with him has looked/gotten worse (Hes the #7 when everyone's healthy)

As for Holmberg disappointed. Not a fan of him up there in the top 6 and I feel next game (unless we see a trade) Kerfoots gonna be up there

And to top it all up the Killer Instinct we are begging to see becomes more and more distant with every loss this team faces against lottery/bottom feeders who should be considered easy points

I feel bad for Sammy as this team left him to the Wolves. Also man if this is how were gonna play without AM hopefully we see a trade tommorow lul

Ironically Rielly and Gio have been alright (if u can even call it that tonight lul) its everyone else im going wtf are u doing lul

Liligren I just feel bad for as own goals really do a number on a players mentality

But yea its weird how whoever plays with Timmins now looks/gets worse. Only Gio has managed to be alright with him. Well anyways when were healthy hes the #7 now

So honestly just do

Rielly-Liligren
Sandin-Holl
Gio-Timmins

As Rielly-Liligren honestly has looked fine to me

In general I notice a few times him just floating into the Dzone and not doing enough to help. Its one of the reasons im a bit hesitant to extend him long term. He does the other things we like but this is the one flaw that can come back to bite a team

Dubas is at the Van vs. CBJ game

It better be for Garland and not Gavrikov

If only Texier was eligible to play this year wouldnt mind a deal around him and Gavrikov. Would feel weird but in the event say Sandin, Gio, or Rielly got hurt we would have insurance and a nice b6 forward

Texier would be awesome but hes got some personal issues to work through

Apparently he has dealt with it but it was to late to come over so hes playing in Europe

I feel if Murray isnt ready by Sunday, were gonna see a Woll call up

But thats one of the issues of keeping a guy like that on the bench to long. One wrong move and a flare up could happen

Either way hope hes good to go for Sunday as man did it put Sammy in a tight spot tonight.

We’ll have to see, but Matthews being out 3 weeks seems like a reason for Dubas to act early

But if we look at the schedule hes only gonna miss a min of 6 games as the ASB is one of the weeks

1 down 5 to go

Bunting - Matthews - Marner
Jarnkrok - Tavares - Nylander
Trenin - Hartman - Garland
Holmberg - Kampf - Engvall

Playoffs as E1 v E8, E2 v E7 etc. would solve this.
Then round 2 is; 1 v 8, 2 v 7, 3 v 6, and 4 v 5.

These are the ideal D pairings, tho I’d want Sandin Liljegren to be the 2nd pairing.


Kerfoot as 2C

Man what the f*ck?? Kerfoot needs to go so bad. That's a toy that needs to be taken away from Keefe.

I made a ACGM with Timo to the leafs. Thoughts?
