So I have been talking with some VAN fans and they think he came back to soon. As he was good before it then came back and has been in a slump

As he suffered an injury to his ACL


At his aav, not interested in a bet like that

Foegele is 6th on Edmonton in terms of forwards in points. He has 29 points in 53 games. His cap hit is 2.75m. He is providing solid value for his cap. There would be very few trades in my mind, where moving him would actually benefit Edmonton. Time will tell though!


We are forgetting that Ken Holland is the GM of the Oilers and he is typically more keen on making terrible trades

Was thinking the exact same thing. My biggest fear is that by naming the thread something optimistic, we will jinx this team back into mediocrity

Armadio was good with the Leafs also. I never understood waiving him. I remember losing like 3 4th line centres in a few weeks. Him being one. And Adam Brooks. I think there was another. Armadio just seemed like a great fit, with his size and skill set.

Its good for the leafs to feel rising pressure from an opponent so they can feel adversity and break through

That will help them come playoff with the rise and fall of momentum on both sides

This third period be a good lesson for them

putting up 7 on Vegas is wild. Can we make it 8?

Leafs have been so good lately.

Had a feeling Knies got demoted after not getting that puck in deep

It sucks but at the same time some of the mistakes he makes be puzzling. Like when he didnt flatten that guy in PHI

But hey they good learning curves for him and Holmberg deserves some time in the T6 hes been good

Good game all around. Little tense at times (Start of second and third) but overall lots to like and critique

Brodie and Liligren looked a bit off but meh second half of a b2b

Knies got some learning to do but hey still a rookie


But hey all 4 lines gave them goals

4th line = 2 goals
3rd line = 1 goal
2nd line = 2 goals
1st line = 1 goal

43-26 were the shots in favour of the Leafs also. Pretty dominant. Damn!

Holmberg honestly reminds me of Howden

VGK had him with Stephenson and Stone last year and people were going huh but as u watched him you could see why.

Holmberg whenever hes been with Matthews and Marner has just looked so good.

Yes occasionally he takes a weird penalty but he came out of the boss he and Matthews made a play that got Matthews his 52 goal

I would not trade him as he is almost like Kerfoot 2.0 where u can slot him on any of the 4 lines


Also how the **** was Knies the only forward without a point tonight
