Thread: What could you do without 91 and 16

Then he’s all yours!

Goalies are voodoo. Unless you luck into a Saaros, Vasilvesky, Shesterkin, etc., it’s so difficult to predict. Particularly in a league where <a href="https://www.stat.cmu.edu/cmsac/sure/2023/showcase/hockey_saves/report.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">scoring is increasing, and even great goalies have diminishing save percentages and GAA.</a>

We <a href="https://thebuzz414379540.wordpress.com/2021/11/29/the-rise-and-fall-of-matt-murray/" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">see it</a> all of <a href="https://insidetherink.com/the-fall-of-blues-goaltender-jordan-binnington/" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">the time,</a> across <a href="https://edmontonjournal.com/sports/hockey/nhl/cult-of-hockey/edmonton-oilers-waive-jack-campbell-what-does-it-mean" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">good teams</a> and <a href="https://www.latimes.com/sports/hockey/story/2023-03-16/kings-joonas-korpisalo-jonathan-quick-goalies-drew-doughty" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">bad teams.</a> Elvis could very well turn the corner in TOR, but so much more goes into that than “he’s on a horrible team.”

IMO, it’s the BOS’ and CAR’s of the world who have such profoundly great D systems that they can turn most any G into a great one.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MoSeider53</b></div><div>Marner and Nylander get at least $1,000,000 more than what you're offering them.

Good luck convincing yourself that Bertuzzi is going to sign for $5,000,000 per year. You're at least $1,000,000 short on him as well.

And yeah Noah Hanifin isn't signing long term with any Canadian team, Reports are that he's more than likely heading home to Boston. He wants out of Canada period</div></div>

It's going to be so great when the Leafs avoid paying Marner more than 11.5 mill and Nylander more than 10.5 mill...

And Bert wants term... So, 5 by 6 would be more convincing for him than 6 by 2

And leaving this here: https://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/noah-hanifin-on-toronto-mcdavid-and-nhl-draft/

"When asked about the possibility of landing with the Maple Leafs, the 18-year-old native of Norwood, Massachusetts spoke highly of Toronto’s tradition of being a hockey town.

'I’ve been to Toronto a bunch of times and it’s an unbelievable city,' he said. 'The hockey environment there is so special and if it ever works for me to be in Toronto, it’d be such an honour.'"
