<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>hockeyfanatic05</b></div><div>Ill answer your Eichel question as soon as you show me where I called him a franchise player. Ill wait. By the way, you have made absolutely zero logical counter points lmao. "Well show me Lafreniere's playoff stats even though hes not even in the NHL" lmao really great counter point.</div></div>

So you're saying Eichel isn't a franchise player?

I never told you to bring up Lafreniere playoff stats. You did that all on your own. I simply wrote Lafreniere hasn't be successful in the playoffs <strong>yet</strong>, and using you're logic that doesn't make him a franchise player

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>hockeyfanatic05</b></div><div> Oh and by the way, Lafreniere's last playoff run, had 23 points 9 goals 14 assists in 13 games. So hes been successful in the playoffs lmao tears of joy Youre claiming a guy is a franchise player and cant make it past round 1 lol</div></div>

See?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>hockeyfanatic05</b></div><div>Lmao wrong. You said compare Kanes and Marner stats at their ages. So I did. You cried and complained and made excuses because Kane had better stats. Then I explained how successful Kane was in the playoffs and how he is a franchise player because even at a young age, he was winning and one of the main reasons they won. You, being an idiot, brought up Lafreniere for absolutely zero reason. How is he relevant to Marner? Why not bring up Eichel's stats? Well why did you only ask to compare Kanes stats and not Crosbys? hmmmm you continue to look stupid. Again, prove how Marner is a franchise player. I did with Kane. So now, its your turn.... Its fun proving how wrong and how much of a hypocrite you are</div></div>

I told you to pull up Kane's stats. In season, they are 100% comparables, proof is there. Then I gave a completely valid argument that playoff success doesn't exclude you from being a franchise player, which you still seem to dance around and not answer. So how about you quit being a coward and show me how someone like Eichel is universally considered a franchise player, and Marner isn't. Since you HAVE to be successful in the playoffs.

We are talking about franchise players, but not all are created equal obviously. If you only use the Crosby's of the world, there's probably only 2 or 3 franchise players today. which is faulty logic.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>hockeyfanatic05</b></div><div>The penguins have something to do with this conversation in what way? lmao. The leafs, unable to make it past the 1st round and have not won the cup in decades is far more hilarious than pittsburgh, who has won multiple cups this past decade. Oh and by the way, Lafreniere's last playoff run, had 23 points 9 goals 14 assists in 13 games. So hes been successful in the playoffs lmao :tearsofjoy Youre claiming a guy is a franchise player and cant make it past round 1 lol youre a different type of stupid</div></div>

Just like the other guy I replied to. Better call Edmonton and let them know McDavid, or call Buffalo that Eichel aren't franchise players. Man, how thick in the head can you be?

and if you're ok using Lafreniere's junior playoff points. Marner had 44 point in 18 games, in a single playoff run. So just admit you're wrong, or would you like a shovel to keep digging the hole you're in?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>hockeyfanatic05</b></div><div>Kanes 1st 4 years: 103 goals 200 assists 303 points
Marner 1st 4 years: 83 goals 208 assists 291 points

Kanes 1st 3 years in the playoffs: 20 goals 28 assists 48 points.... 1 Stanley cup win where he had 28 points in 22 games
Marners 1st 3 years in the playoffs: 5 goals 12 assists 17 points

You're welcome. Quiet down now because you look stupid</div></div>

In season they are easily comparables, get a grip lol

For the playoffs it's different. Chicago's stanley cup teams had a good mix of talent and depth at all positions. The leafs need to fix their defense, and stop blowing 3 geal leads. Not Marner's fault and definitely doesn't exclude him from being a franchise player. You have a problem if you think otherwise.

Thread: Domi winger and breaking that 1st line
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DriveFor25</b></div><div>Suzuki is a 2C on FLA, CAR, CBJ, COL, NYR (Strome is gone), DAL, WPG, MIN, VGK, CGY, ARI and MTL. Suzuki will also be better next year, so he would likely surpass some 2Cs on other teams.</div></div>

That's a hilarious list lol If you think teams like FLA, CBJ, NYR, MIN, ARI are GOOD teams, your standards are very low. He doesn't bump Aho or Trochek in CAR, maybe not even Staal. McKinnon and Kadri are better. No way in Vegas with Stastny, Karlsson, and even Marchessault. CGY Monahan and Backlund are better. So that basically leaves DAL and WIN where you'd be right, and neither are contenders.

So this just furthers my point. Let the kid develop properly, don't rush him. He's only 20 years old. How about I throw you an olive branch? Rotate Domi and Suzuki from your 3rd and 2nd line.

Thread: Domi winger and breaking that 1st line
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Terry_AkiSauce</b></div><div>Im a Leafs fan but they aren't rushing their prospects. Suzuki has probably been the best centre in their series against Pitt (on either side) which is saying a lot. Danault is one of the better defensive centres in the league and while KK was rushed, hes pretty much ready now and tore up the AHL when they sent him down. Domi &gt; KK right now obviously but Kotka could pass him with an all around game as soon as next season</div></div>

It's just terrible asset management with what they are doing with Domi. He proved he can produce 70 points as a center, don't move him to the wing! The organization has the same vue as me I believe, since they aren't having him play there.
If they have already made up their minds that they are trading him though, maybe they shouldn't be playing him on the 4th line lol They can't wait one measly playoffs, that they have no chance at winning let's be honest, and have Domi play as their top Center, to boost his trade value? Again, terrible asset management.

Thread: Domi winger and breaking that 1st line
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GMs</b></div><div>If you actually watch some games, Domi isn’t good defensively and in the faceoff circle. Danault plays against other team top line EVERY night and still did 50 points. Suzuki’s gonna be Elite, he’s the real deal. Kotkaniemi have been one of the best forward this post-season and he’s a natural Center. We DON’T have room for Domi at Center, that’s it.</div></div>

Roll with Domi and Danault, one takes the offensive responsibilities, the other defensive. Have one of the kids as your 3rd line center and send to the other to dominate in the american hockey league until one of Domi or Danault fizzles. Which they aren't. Saying Suzuki is going to be elite is very different than saying his is now. Montreal isn't winning a cup any time soon, take your time with your prospects, but I guess this is Montreal we are talking about. Development isn't really their strong suit.
