<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Saskleaf</b></div><div>Look, I don't want to be rude. But if you want to post on capfriendly, you should at least have of who Auston Matthews is. Nhl.com is a good place to find his stats. You will see he almost won the rocket last year. So, in conclusion, toronto is not giving away a top 5 centre in the nhl for a guy who is about the 4-5th best forward on his team, and some unknown prospects.</div></div>
It's ridiculous under value for sure on Matthews.
But just as you are advising this poster, I wouldn't consider Perfetti "some unknown prospect". He was just picked 10th OV in this draft, and just had a great WJC with Canada.

Nylander more valuble than you think
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PleaseBanMeForMyOwnGood</b></div><div>He has improved with his stick on the ice and going to the net which is so good to see. As for keeping his head in the game, Keefe mentioned it's been a an area of blunt discussion between the two. When he is on, he's every bit as dangerous as anyone else and if he learns to keep that up for 60 minutes a game over a whole season, he absolutely could push for 40 goals and 90+ points and even more. He certainly has the skill for it.</div></div>
Agreed.
I think he still has a lot of centre in him. I'm not saying he'd be a great C, but he gets drifting in the slot/net front of the Dzone sometimes, which can make it tough for his teammates to go cover up.
If he ever dials that focus up to 95%, he'll be even more fun to watch. That's why I like him pairing with Tavares, I think Tavares' work ethic started rubbing off on Nylander last year, he was definitely more engaged. So hopefully that continues.

He can get puck watching a bit in the dzone, but solid transition play is part of defending, and he's elite in transition.
He's not a puckhog, he's the playmaker and best transition player. I'd rather the puck on his stick than Vesey.

We can't afford to add picks for something we don't need, that adds further contract uncertainty, and probably won't even produce any more than Nylander.

Agreed. Tavares may move to the wing someday, but that day is not here yet.

The thing about that longer Nylander contract is it helps Toronto keep the core together for 4 years if they choose to.
If Nylander is dealt for Dubois, then he and Rielly need new contracts in 2 years - leaving a 2 year window for that group to win.
Doesn't make a lot of sense.

Leafs pass. If Nylander is moved for Dubois, then there is no chance they can keep Rielly when his deal expires at the same time as Dubois.
Other than that value is close.

I agree. Suzuki looks like he's entering his 6th season, not his 2nd. He's got a very high upside, and his hockey sense is off the charts. Noticed him every time he was on the ice vs. Leafs last night.

Not a great debut. They want to give him a shot because he brings that different element, and he's solid on the PK.
Don't imagine he'll get too many more chances if he keeps looking like last night.

What I still Dont Get
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Campabee</b></div><div>Bogosian and Dermott were the only minus D men on the ice last night for the Leafs and after watching the game last night I am confused as to why Bogosian was even in the lineup. He contributed nothing offensively, He was blown by all night defensively, and he took some very stupid penalties due to his lack of speed and positioning. Lehtonen at least brings offense and has some decent speed to his game.</div></div>
This fan does not represent us.
Agree with majority of your points. There are two reasons Thornton is getting a shot in the top 6 (for now) instead of Hyman.
1. Keefe likes having a checking line (and with malholtra joining the staff, you know he agrees). With Hyman being our best defensive forward, he's a big part of that. So the Mikheyev-Kerfoot-Hyman will get some time here to see if they are up to the challenge.
2. This is more a theory of mine then fact. Hyman has mainly played LW in the NHL. Nylander told Keefe last year that he prefers LW. Neither started the season at LW, a part of that is the prospects we have in the system (Robertson being on the cusp of cracking the lineup). If both Hyman and Nylander get locked into LW, then it makes it much harder for Robertson (and eventually Amirov) to crack the Leafs top six.
I think Thornton will get a few more games to see if he can fit (no matter who plays with them M&M are going to do most of the work). If he can't keep up, then lines can be shuffled. Vesey is an option, Simmonds, even Robertson can get some time there.
But establishing a checking line is the priority to start the year.

Have to give the checking line more than 1 game to gel.
Wouldn't the dman that got benched in the 3rd be the one to come out of the lineup?

Pretty sure Bogo was the worst Leaf last night, if any dmen comes out after that game it's him (he played about 3 shifts in the 3rd, so coach's noticed too).

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>clapperzzz11</b></div><div>You want to know the major error of the Leafs ?
Signing Tavares at 11m. Then Matthews and Marner said hey, we want that money to, if not, we go anywhere, someone will give us this price. Then this create a cap problem and a lack of depth on the team.
Imagine not signing Tavares, keeping Kadri at 4.5. signing two other player at 2-3m each, playing on the third line, with really good defensive side. This also means that they keep Kapanen.
Possibly a chance to signed a good defense to play on PK and make sure to back the error of their young forward. Maybe someone in the same range than Chiarot and/or Edmundson.
The error is not to signed KHL player at decent price.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ColonelX</b></div><div>Not ****ting on the arguments here but I mean that's what happens when you hand 50% of your cap space to your top 4 guys, they'll score when they're on the ice but you'll get a ton of goals in when they're not. Hard to trash on the Toronto back end for letting so many pass by when only a little more than 30% of the cap is distributed between all six defenders and goalies.
I do agree with you when you mention that Toronto signs all these KHLers and hopes that they become something because they can't afford anything else really to put on steady third line roles.</div></div>
Leafs third line is Mikheyev - Kerfoot - Hyman. Didn't know that was a **** 3rd line.
