1. Why are you buying out JT? You save no cap

2. Willy's not top 3 in consideration for captain

Buying out JT to turn the page on this era and to give guys like Minten and Cowan icetime on that 3rd line.

And Nylander is the leader of this team. He's the guy who shows up in the playoffs more than the others, including Matthews.

Leafs need to win now...

And Nylander has the worst PPG out of the core 5 in the playoffs and the second highest GPG... (behind Matthews)

He doesn't lead

He said what needed to be said the other night. That's all I needed to see. Put the C on his chest.

You may as well just change all your titles to "I am mad, I only see red and I am taking it out on players in the dumbest way possible".

Paying a guy as much money as he gets paid now to not play is just insane.

It's not about the money, it's about sending a message to that locker room. It's about going forward with a new Captain.

Foolish to think Cowan and Minten are NHL ready next October.
Not much consideration of Vegas's cap
Too much term for Domi, Stephenson, aand DeMelo.

So did Matthews... And Matthews' has been playing sick this entire round...

What about Rielly... always a warrior no matter what and longest tenured Leaf

Or Domi, grew up a Leafs fan, willing to do whatever it takes

The only message you are sending is you can't handle your emotions and are having a temper tantrum.

Leafs need young legs in the bottom six. JT can't skate. He can't move out there. A new coach like Berube will teach Minten and Cowan right, they'll be more ready than Knies was this season.

As for the Vegas cap, they are masters, they will figure it out.

All are worthy candidates. But in a desperate moment Nylander stepped up and told the kid to stop crying. That moment earned him the C in my eyes.

Oh I am calm. The team hasn't even lost yet. While I see major problems here, I am going to remain calm and evaluate things thoughtfully. Seems like a better idea than getting mad and throwing my toys into the garbage.

1000% you wanted to trade Willy for anything 3 months ago.

Before the deal, yes. He's not worth 11. 5. But now he's here for the long haul.

No, not emotional. I don't think it's wise paying wingers over 10 million. But the Leafs did it and gave the guy a full NTC/NMC. He's likely staying now.

You should probably cheer for a different team. Your emotions are too much to handle this team.
