Thread: Pietrangelo and Allen
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mokumboi</b></div><div>I feel like you don't know what the word "worthless" means. <a href="https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EKUzyv9WkAIMqWv.jpg?name=orig" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">This</a> ain't that. Those numbers are before he stopped 37 of 39 to steal a point in Nashville Monday.

As for your other comment, his "hot streak" lasted three years. He earned signing the contract, he just has had stretches (mostly at home for some reason) when he didn't live up to it. Even so, he has still won in COL twice, NASH twice, WASH, VEG, WPG and TOR among others since the start of last season. The party line on him is drastically overblown.</div></div>

Performance + contract = worthless.

You're a fan of his, I get it. He isn't terrible and they all have good games but even at half price, for the Leafs, there is no conversation to be had.

Allen has been the team's Achilles heel for all but one year and if there was a market for him to date, he'd be gone.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mokumboi</b></div><div>Worst goalie in the league, huh? This notion that Allen is so horrific in goal is a joke. In fact, he's one of the best road goalies in the league. Just ask Nashville about Monday. Of course, he's had plenty of struggles the last couple years and on bad nights he's his own worst enemy. His save percentage is still far better than several starters in this league, and he's never had a season below .905. The league average is currently .908. Folks go waaaay overboard trying to slam him. Sorry, he's not simply a cap dump. He can actually play some and steal points. Just not as often as he did a few seasons back.</div></div>

He's just another goalie that rode a hot streak into a multi-year extension similar to Reimer. He would be a decent backup at one sixth of his cap hit but in today's game, cap dollars mean everything and Allen is worthless.

Thread: Rielly to lw
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Trevorchef</b></div><div>No, I'm actually not. I understand the point you are trying to make. It just makes no sense IMO. Think about how Babcock coaches this team. He is currently playing a suspected injured Morgan Rielly 25 minutes at night against top competition. Now look at what you have left of that already crappy D-Core after you've made this move. There is no way that Babcock trusts Holl enough, to play him in top pair minutes. NONE!

Holl has played well in a bottom pairing roll and that is where he is effective. Ceci and Rielly against top competition have been terrible. I just think that you are massively overlooking the way this coach deploys people. It doesn't work man. Sorry, but that is the truth of the matter.</div></div>

Let me help you out on this one.

If Rielly were a winger, Babcock would have benched him and or given him the 4th line/healthy scratch treatment for all his mistakes. Instead, because he is a defenseman, he is logging the 6th most ice time leaguewide and the team's record and stats reflect how bad he is in his own zone.

Usage is a big problem with this team.

Thread: Hyman is back
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LoganOllivier</b></div><div>No we was placed on waivers earlier and cleared. When he was brought back up, he had to be up a month or 10 games before having to pass through waivers again. So he can just be sent down since neither of those but I have seen the same reports. I am not sure whats going on to be honest.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Sufferingleafsfan</b></div><div>I am with you I have no clue what is going on LOL. This is my view of what Dubas should do but I got no sweet clue. I'd also try to get rid of Ceci for nothin and then throw a picks/prospect package at another team for a #4RD</div></div>

His 30 days are up from the original waivers which is why he is on waivers again and we'll find out at noon tomorrow whether he clears again. Which I hope he does.
