Thread: Notes after last night
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PleaseBanMeForMyOwnGood</b></div><div>Playing on your off wing is hard. Some guys can do it but playing on your strong side makes everything easier. Kapanen on the 3rd line is great. All the other guys can play LW likely better than they can the right. So moving Johnsson makes the smallest impact on the team and could bring back a defenceman or backup goalie. I'd love to see the Leafs scoop up Lehner if only to keep him away from Carolina.</div></div>

I definitely agree with you. CF has Korskov listed as a RW. I do like having johnsson I just think it would be beneficial to trade him to fill a hole. They dont need to, they can just trade ceci and get a backup an they will be fine but if they need to trade johnsson to get a backup, that's the price you have to pay. I really like kerfoot and kappy playing together tho. They are fast, good defensively an nasty to play against. I think kerfoot matches well with them to create a sort of shut down line but things get hot and heavy when I think of them going up against other teams 3rd pair defenseman

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PleaseBanMeForMyOwnGood</b></div><div>The more I watch the team the more I think Johnsson is the one to go. I think the depth on the Left side is a lot better than on the right and after Kap there isn't a lot else. On the Left side, Mikheyev, Korshkov, Moore, Hyman and Engval all look like NHLers</div></div>

I dont think bracco will be able to play with the leafs so that really leaves the RS open. I'm pretty sure Korskov and moore regularly play RW so that helps a bunch. I'm also a big fan of marchment and what he brings so I hope he gets a shot, in the AHL there was a marchment-brooks-moore line that had something like a 62% corsi playing against top competition under keefe. They dominated so I want that line to get a chance in the future. I'm still here for a bracco for puljujarvi trade so the leafs could make kappy available because I think he would bring in a much better return but it does depend on what happens. I think they will resign Mikheyev and hyman will ask for a ton when his contract expires so if he leaves it will make LW look weak but if they can get him for around 3 million I'm not unhappy with trading johnsson

Thread: A little different of a seap
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BCAPP</b></div><div>No. One is a teenager who hasn't had the opportunity to play in the NHL.

The other is a 9 year NHL veteran who coaches have never played against tough competition. You can't assume he will be able to. You can hope I suppose. But gambling on a 30 year old NHL defenseman being able to do something he's never done before seems like a terrible way to approach free agency</div></div>

Coaches are often wrong. If we are looking at past accomplishments holl shouldn't be in the nhl but he is playing very well and has shown that he can be a #4 defenseman. He wouldn't be expected to put up a ton of points, he would just play good defensively like he has all throughout his career. He has never played with good defenseman for long periods of time so Morgan rielly should make him look great. Quality of linemates is more important then quality of competition.

Because he has never played in a 1st pairing role he wont be able to ask for to much but there are far worse players who have done well playing on the 1st pair playing with guys like morgan rielly
