Also marner went from a 60 point guy to a 90 point guy overnight

dude, you spent like 4 months telling everyone that he was a good top 4 defender and now he's barely a ok 6th defender.

If I had the choice, I would play Benoit top 4 minutes and he deserves to. Knowing Keefe, he’s getting dropped to the third pairing IF we add a defensemen

the leafs are a significantly worse defensive team for many reasons, and most of them have to do with treliving not bringing any actually good defensive players and a bunch of one way offensive guys that he paid way too much for. the bottom 6 is a nightmare defensivly and he never even replaced Holl who was nothing special, but at least was a decent number 4. He brought in Domi and Reaves who are utter black holes and huge negatives and blew a massive chunk of cash on a defender who hasnt been good in years.
When you have a team that is top 10 by every defensive metric you can name and suddenly they are closer to 30, and you havent made 'significant changes' well guess what, you made some significant changes somewhere, because that just doesnt happen otherwise without significant injuries to guys who were good defensivly, and Brodie getting older doesnt explain away 1/10th of the fall.

Top 10 in every defensive metric and still got manhandled and punked around by a team filled with heart and grit in Florida 😂😂😂

of course you would, he's a 6th defender on a bottom feeder and you think guys like ryan reaves are valuable.

If you hate Tre so much just go watch the Penguins play while I watch Tre rebuild the flawed and soft culture Dubas has implemented here in Toronto

and treliving made them so much worse and weaker and less heart, so sad and embarassing

Too bad treliving is too soft to actually make the team better. A real mans gm would have them at the top of the league and would have nylander signed to a steal of a deal already. Just embarrassing

Glad we're on the same page about calculator boy Dubas lol

Not really overnight. His second season he was on a 90 point pace for the 2nd half and has never slowed down. The only reason his point total was reduced in year two was because Babcock put him on the 4th and 3rd lines for long stretches. Once he was out with Kadri and Marleau, he was close to the highest scoring played league wide for the remainder of the season. Despite what the goofs on this site like to say. Marner has been an elite talent from the get to.

I meant they couldn't have planned for him to be that expensive when they signed tavares
