Thread: After Hyman and Dermott are healthy
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LoganOllivier</b></div><div>I hear what you are saying. And if Mikheyev or Korshkov can be those big guys that grind and also have some hands, then I am all in favour of moving Hyman. Currently though, hes something unique on the team and doesn't cost much. I'd keep him and move someone else.</div></div>

I think every person in the room and in management sees how awesome Hyman is even when fans that don’t know hockey and just like the fancy moves that Hyman doesn’t do, don’t. Hyman is a beast and would be missed on that top line, don’t believe it? Let’s see is Tavares scores at a 50 pace and Marner 100 Point while Hyman is out, I’ll bet not and I’ll bet their plus minus takes a hit, so don’t worry about these fans saying Hyman is gonna be moved cause the team is much smarter than they

Thread: After Hyman and Dermott are healthy
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Goulet</b></div><div>Ceci is fine but what does he do that Holl can't and is it worth 3.8M?
Same question for Hyman. Looking at Moore and Mikheyev for example, there is 1.3-1.5M to be saved there as well as possibly acquiring some half decent picks in the process.
Not to mention Petan, or Kapanen for that matter.</div></div>

Because Hyman instead of Moore, Ceci instead of Holl and Kappy instead of Petan is the difference between an good team and a great one, not to mention if those guys are so good we will need someone else good to take their spots or else we are downgrading in that way too, I get ur logic but it doesn’t follow, cause you keep up these minor downgrades and you’ll end up like the oilers with a great core of Mcdavid, Draisaitl and Nugenthopkins but junk playing beside them

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BOLTLOVER1</b></div><div>DUMB comment .. it close to those teams 2nd line .. but look at 3rd line of Cirlelli Killorn and Vokov .. Tampa wins on depth and special teams Forrest .. Torontos lack.of depth is startling.. Boston lacks goal scorers and Florida SHOULD be very good but then again...they Florida. Tampas only issue is leadership and grit in playoffs.. been that way for 4 years</div></div>

Lack of depth? Their third line once Hymans healthy will have 3 40 point scorers.... compared to this 3rd line’s 1, and the fourth is good with Jason Spezza and Freddie Gauthier playing his heart out, not to mention Trevor Moore who didn’t pile up the points (8 in 25) but looked darn good as a rook, so tell me again how their depth is shockingly bad

Thread: after 4 preseason games
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Laudan</b></div><div>Agostino defenitelly made stronger case then Petan, Bracco or Mikheyev in my books.

winners and runner ups by Game ( battling for spots ) :

1) Gauthier....Schmaltz
2) Kivihalme.....Sandin
3) Sandin....Agostino
4) Moore....noone

I hate myself already for saying this but after Ristolainen and Sabourin escapades, seems like Harpur will be in the mix...to many expensive players in the roster to be left out for fun of reckless braindeads....</div></div>

Perhaps Agostino made a better case than Petan or Bracco but I think they have a higher upside and better suit a 3rd scoring line role and dubas will want atleast one of them to be getting NHL games, Mikheyev was far better than Agostino though in every way so I definitely disagree on that one but the others I just think if Agostino was gonna make the team it woulda been on the 4th line

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MisstheWhalers</b></div><div>Gotcha, I think he'll be a Leaf for life, well most of his life anyway but I get the point about being difficult, big money offers from other teams, etc.

I didn't necessarily mean that Matthews would want to go home but the Coyotes have been building a pretty decent team actually that's really been derailed by injuries the last couple of seasons so given the ages of their core and where they'll likely be in 5 seasons it's fairly safe to say adding Matthews would make them a contender in the 2025-26 season.</div></div>

I didn’t mean to say ARZ is bad but for thews to leave TOR I think they’d have to be just as good as the leafs which I don’t see that happening, but then again a lot can happen if 5 years so who knows, I just think all the Matthews wanting to leave rumours never had any substance other than that he didn’t like Babcock but the odds are Babs won’t even be here in 5 years lol

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MisstheWhalers</b></div><div>Is the worry that on a 4 year contract that takes him to UFA that he'll walk and sign elsewhere?
Or is it the optics of not buying up any of his UFA years?
I get either of those issues but I think Marner wants to be a Leaf for life and Matthews will be gone after his final year (or earlier) so Dubas shouldn't be worried about signing Marner to a 4 year deal.

Not a Leafs fan but that's just how I see it.</div></div>

The worry is that if he is being this difficult now, then when he has no restrictions he will want a ridiculous amount and if the leafs don’t pay it someone else will, and as for Matthews dipping in 5 years I don’t see that happening unless the leafs fall off or ARZ Suddenly becomes a contender because while it’s nice to go home it is even nicer to win
