Thread: Toronto Maple Leafs signed John Tavares (7 Years / $11,000,000 AAV)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KSIxSKULLS</b></div><div>You blew it because you got shut down. Time to admit Montreal just outplayed you. You think Stone went the entire 3rd round without a point because he forgot how to play hockey?</div></div>

Yeah Habs played great, but Leafs dominated the earlier games and could of ended it. Galchenyuk turns it over in Game 5, and then Dermott in Game 6. What happens in the series if JT is healthy? Can the Danault line shut down two lines at once? What happens if Marner doesn't clear the puck into the stratosphere in Game 6, and look lost in every other game? Habs played a good series, but the Leafs beat themselves as they always do. Also have to put some blame on Keefe for failing to adjust to the Habs style.

Still not sure how any of what you have said proves that the JT contract was bad though.

Thread: Maybe we shouldnt trade Mitch Marner
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jgimp69</b></div><div>Absolutely. One of the big forwards needs to go as well just to free up some money for your other lines. Dubas really pulled a Chiarelli on them Cap wise.</div></div>

I mean, Nylander played great, JT has shown up every year in the playoffs when healthy, and while Matthews didnt do much this year, he's still a generational talent. Marner has the talent to be worth his deal, but his problem is that he is mentally really weak. I just don't think Marner can handle high pressure games at all. I understand why some people want to trade him, but at the same time, I can totally see him getting traded and then finding his mental games somewhere else and making us look real stupid. Players as skilled as Marner are hard to get.
