Also, where are you getting 63 games from? He's going to play 55 this year, and a normal year has 68

Stats make me excited... Him making Team Canada made me excited... All the 5 on 3 PKs are me excited... Leafs having 4-5 interesting prospects make me excited...

Marner's last year was 63 games and I assumed he played the full season as the year before that was 55

I doubt that too... But very encouraging to see those numbers... Obviously predicting prospect is hard

O is 68 games. Cowen missed some due to WJC and being up with the Leafs.
He will only play in 55 games. Which mean he is on a 97 (ish) point pace.

Which ****ing pisses me off because I was very loud in saying he'd hit 100 points this year lmao. He needs 17 points in 8 games to do it. Not impossible but... ehh

I mean... If he were to hit 30 game point streak, you might forgive him, right?

I don't know. It's a tough sell. I'd consider it 😅

Hes having fun but still no need to rush

lol



Considering Leafs lack of cap space and how good he's been...

Still does not mean the need to rush a kid and hurt their development

Let him have his fun then go to the AHL when he's 20, make some noise there and see. No need to just hes putting up points thrust him to NHL

So many CHL and OHL guys put up stupid points then come to the NHL and struggle. Look at Byfield it took 4 years before Kings saw something good.

Trying to think of a TDL package where we can bring in a B6 forward who can kill penalties but still also be useful offensively and a RD with term to play with Brodie and push Liligren down


So far I have Dowd + Jensen (ret) but I feel we could do better besides Dowd

I was thinking Jensen + Dowd too, but it'd hard to fit dowd in on the roster. Does he play 3C with Holmberg and Jarnkrok? Does he play 4C? Do we play him at wing? I think there are better fits, although I wouldn't complain

I was thinking if they do it the B6 =

McMann-JT-Jarnkrok
Holmberg-Kampf-Dowd

Basically the 4th line = 3 penalty killing centers lul

That line u throw out in the final min of a lead

I think Dowd would fit excellently with those 2, but getting Dowd to play wing feels like a waste. Duhaime or Dewar would fit beautifully in that 4RW spot

I mean there's a saying where older centers do better on the wing due to less responsibility

Holmberg be having fun and I think Dowd would to. Think like Acciari.

Basically Kampf would take the majority of responsibility but have two other guys who can rotate with him

Might be controversial

I would claim Gagner

He and JT know one another, can PK, good at faceoffs, and he did play for the Marlies

for 775k its not crazy and

Holmberg-Kampf-Gagner could be fun

Not sure how many of you guys watch The Blueprint series that the Leafs put out on youtube, but I would highly recommend the latest episode. It focuses a lot on the coaching staff, and particularly the video coaches. Super interesting stuff and its nice to see Sam Kim and Jordan Bean get some air time

Saw it trending my twitter so will give my 2 cents on it

If the Leafs do decide to trade for Parayko then Im only okay with it...IF STL retain 2m so that hes 4.5m. That is more reasonable and u can then pair him with McCabe or Rielly. That said NTU to sending Minten or Cowen in that deal

Boys I just got out of Dune.

Go see it. Pay up for imax

Good lord its good

Im so pumped for it, loved the first one and Im seeing the new one this Thursday. Fingers crossed I can avoid spoilers for 2 more days

My lips are seeled.
If Dennis Villeneuve is the only good thing to ever come out of Quebec, it'll still have been worth it.

**** me how am I gonna wait 5 years for part 3 lmao

I wonder if the Leafs will make a push for Ekblad in a few offseasons from now if he decides to leave Florida, he's the perfect defenseman for us IMO

I feel he will be out of their price range especially after this coming summer

As if they extend McCabe and sign Roy in FA they wont have a lot of wiggle room

Also seeing what FA Dman like him get he might be getting Hamilton money

Per Pagnotta the Leafs are one of the teams in on Zucker, maybe he and Dumba get packaged together?

Not sure as Friedman said Dumba was unlikely

I dont see Brad making a move for a forward unless a Dman is involved to specifically someone with term.

Zucker also dont PK so that be a problem to me considering thats the other issue rn

77.7% aint good
