With the emergence of McMann I dont see Maroon happening especially once Jarnkrok comes back

If TOR was to target B6 guys it would probs more 2-way guys


Maroon makes sense if Reaves is headed the other way, if not no

We are talking about the guy that threw 1.35 by 3 to a 36 year old bc he could fight


Reaves was for vibes thats been added. Now comes the other stuff like helping the Leafs defense and PK

Like it might be coincidence but when he came Leafs started playing harder and hitting more

5th in the league aint bad considering before they always finished near the bottom

But yea for playoffs hes gonna be in the pressor unless u feel u need him for a shift or two

With the latest pic we saw I dont think hes going anywhere. Hes basically that vibes guy teammates love and at this point we need that as a quiet lockerroom does nothing

GGunA4VXcAASBM3?format=jpg&name=4096x4096

Also besides some meh penalties hes finally doing what he was supposed to. Once playoffs come around hes gonna be sitting or be there for a shift or two to ragdoll a bruin or Bennett.

Still love the ANA game he had Gudas scared lul

Perry was a different story though. Guys still a solid goal scorer

Like in 24 gp 6 goals 7 assists for a 4th liner whose 38 soon 39 in may not bad.


If Brad's looking to add will probs be 2-way wings with skill and size who can help the PK.

Reaves is gonna be in the lineup come playoffs... Brad's going to make sure of it... And Reaves has earned that right to as well...

Brad has no say in lineup decisions. Thats not a GM's job

Coaches job is to decide whose in and whose not. He's sitting come game 1 vs. FLA or BOS.

Only reason hes in rn is all the injuries. Once Jarnkrok is back hes out as with McMann's emergence cant take him out and Holmberg has looked nice to

He will be an in and out type of player like we saw before

Not gonna say to much on Bettman's decision but him basically showing the system is flawed be funny

So basically the analysis is not grounded in principle nor precedent; instead, it is a product of whatever mood the NHL is in on any given day. Or hes hiding the fact is a wheel

If he is will only be for a game as it will be in response to FLA putting an enforcer in. Look what we saw with Clifford and Simmonds. They were not in all the time. Clifford for another reason but yea 1 game

Hes not an everyday NHLer and we saw before they were using him in and out. Reason hes in now mainly = Jarnkrok hurt. Once that guys back hes in and out till the TDL.

By the time we hear about Morgan's appeal the 5 games will have already passed lul

Would be funny if its reduced to 3 when 4 games already passed


I don't think I've ever been less surprised than when I saw Bettman agreed with Parros. The Leafs tax is absurdly high, but at least it didn't work as intended (Leafs are 4-0 since then)

The only time we saw it was Spezza and when we saw what happened it made sense.

But hey Bettman accidently admitted the system if flawed and now its gonna be a weapon against him and Parros for years to come
