Thread: Sabres next year
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>littlejerryseinfeld</b></div><div>A top 40 pick for a 34 year old pending UFA making 5 million backup is a hilariously low ball offer?

He doesn't have a full no trade and I would imagine would actually like to play as a pending UFA. He can be moved at the deadline to a contender if Buffalo is out of it.

Plenty of non buffalonians have waived recently, including jeff skinner and eric Staal.

But hey, thanks for the obnoxious post. Happy easter.</div></div>

Happy Easter yes a 35-45 pick is an under payment especially considering he's also the only Russian speaker other than Sorokin so trading him probably not going to happen
If you call 4 years ago recently mazaltov to you
Staal would have went anywhere so not to be sent to the AHL. Not my fault Buffalo ownership and management is a dumpster fire.

Thread: If Tampa tweaks After 3 Peat
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>leafs101</b></div><div>oh for sure beating Vasi is very difficult but zero to do with the physicality.

And I mean no debate in the playoffs there's no goalie I'd rather have. But he has been beaten before so the "until someone beats him" doesn't quite work. But 100% get what you're saying. I think TBL has the advantage in goal come playoffs but I think the Leafs have been better than Tampa this season, hence why I think it'll be a close series that could go either way should we meet. If we get average or above goaltending and our stars show up the sky is the limit.</div></div>

Yeah but it's a different Vasilevskiy since CBJ in19 i still don't think you're correct on the physical play of TML ,but i could be Wrong (doubt it).

Thread: If Tampa tweaks After 3 Peat
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>leafs101</b></div><div>I disagree. I don't think you have to be overly physical to win but you have to be able to stand up for yourself when needed and be able to push back when needed. Especially when you have the #1 PP in the league and teams will be nervous to take penalties.

The core players are getting older, Matthews and Marner have stepped up their physicality when needed. Bunting, Simmonds, Clifford up front are pretty physical. Muzzin, Lyubushkin, even Gio is physical enough for what we need. Our D is a lot better this year.

Physicality doesn't need to be branded in your team's identity to win a cup. You need some physical support available but you don't need it. Last night's physical game against Washington was a good example of this. Wilson ran Campbell and Leafs stood up for themselves with a Clifford fight, hit when appropriate but still played their brand of hockey. More pushback from the team this year as they get older for sure, but they still play their game.

If they lose it won't be because they weren't hitting enough, either the stars won't get it done or the goaltending woes will fail us. Tough first round matchups for really anyone in the east except whoever plays Washington, but this team is more playoff ready than teams of the past.</div></div>
That's what Carolina thought last year too, and until someone beats Vasilevskiy I'm betting he out duals his counter part
