Quoting: howmuchcurrycanyoueat
McCabe with 2 more years at 2M is far more valuable than Tanev with one year left at 4.5M. Also "It’s the classic Under Valuing of Flames Players and Over Valuing of the other Teams Players going on here"? Isn't that what youre doing, over valuing your players and belittling others? You realize Nylander has performed no matter who his center is? Whether its Matthews or Alex Kerfoot. The whole "hes only good because he plays with so and so" is the laziest and uneducated comment in sports. You act as if Toronto is the only team where he would play with a good center. Also the Leafs have a pretty defensive system, they dont play run and gun this isn't 2017 so I dont know why youre insinuating that pumps his stats. Maybe go watch a highlight reel of his goals instead of just staring at stats before you come on here spreading lies lol.
Actually, no it’s not. Far from it
The only one insinuating anything here is you my friend
I said Nylander’s a stud. I never said that he is or would only be good playing on the Leafs, I simply pointed out he plays with high end talent, which increases his offensive stats, so stop making up lies, like I’m belittling or diminishing the TOR players. I did no such thing
How many Goals did TOR allow last night, 7!? You call that defensive??? TOR scrambled to acquire Schenn and McCabe at the Deadline because they’re not Defensive enough, which is the entire purpose of this thread
Trade one Star Forward to a Team needing another Top-6 Scoring Forward in exchange for better Defenders
If/When TOR gets ousted in the 1st Round AGAIN, they’ll build from the back end up, instead of the other way around, which hasn’t been working for them obviously
Losing Mikheyev after last season, Engelland this season and then losing Kerfoot & Holl and possibly Schenn, Aston-Reese, Acciari and Kampf after this season is going to hurt you guys defensively even more.
The Oilers eventually learned out scoring your opponent doesn’t work in the Playoffs, so stacked their Defense. The Leafs are not much better than the Sabres when it comes to Valuing & Playing Defensive over the, “We’ll just Out Score Our Opponents” strategy
