Thread: Is Campbell a starter
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jamiepo</b></div><div>Well if you have been listening to me over the last 2 years than yes... yes he is.</div></div>

Damn, i thought i was the main advocate to get Campbell when everyone here wanted Georgiev, Jarry and DeSmith ( or some old farts above 35 )

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ryminister_27</b></div><div>
Can Leafs fans get off this overhype train of Justin Holl? He's not that good. He's a borderline top 4 d-man, better suited for a #5 role. Plays a very high risk game thats causes mistakes that are often covered up by Muzzin. He's the real underrated guy. Holl is garbage when he doesn't play with Muzzin. Misses his coverage, throws the puck directly up the centre of the ice and in front of the net. The only reason he works in the top 4 is cause Muzzin is his partner. Otherwise he's nothing special</div></div>

Never thought i will have to quote you to show we are on same page about someone from the roster

Campbell is above average backup ( same as Bernier and Reimer were ), you still need Andersen till Rielly wont learn to play in his own end and Muzzin doesnt get someone like Murphy to play along with him.

1A / 1B goalie proved to be a failure behind D that TML were running for the past 30 years, where 3 out of 4 in first two pairs were wingers.

Thread: this might be it
My guess is ( have the simulation but wont publish cause to many of the same "opening lines" ones spammed already ) :

Hyman - Tavares - Marner
Nylander - Matthews - Simmonds......... ( not that Simmonds is top RW but you need a grinder in that line and nothing more )
Kerfoot - Engvall - Mikheyev ...................( by wasting Simmonds on 2nd you got yourself a strong 3rd Line tho Engvall and Kerfoot doesnt make up together for competent 3C )
Barabanov - Thornton - Spezza

Rielly - Brodie
Muzzin - Dermott.......................................( Lehtonen and Dermott can be swaped )
Lehtonen - Bogosian .................................( and ofc Holl in the mix to fill his 70 Games )

You ppl are constantly neglecting 2021 Expansion Draft. Thats why I believe Engvall will play his 40 Games so he will meet the Expansion Draft conditions to be exposed, same Holl, cause if you check, Kerfoot, Engvall, Malgin and Holl are the only ones to meet the demand out of the obvious Protected Players. So you pump the three to reach the required Games.

Thread: Stack the 1st Line
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Leafs_and_Sens_Fan</b></div><div>It was no worse than our normal lines... we ran into a hot goalie...</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>leafs101</b></div><div>I mean the line was gross, it just got robbed by Korpisalo. But I'm not sold on Kerfoot/Thornton at 2C</div></div>

Other Teams didnt have tin can as their Goalies either but those others made it all the way, so i take this as bad excuse....

True about 2C, even Nylander didnt look well. 3C will be hard to find, Kerfoot is there by force, we missed on Wallmark for 900k. Im assumig Engvall will play his 30 Games as 3C so he will meet the requirements to be exposed for Expansion Draft which would make more sense cause Kerfoot is LW by default.

Thread: Leafs next season and taxi squad for flexible bubbles
I kinda doubt Robertson is ready ( still dont understand the Playoffs "experiment" with him ) and they didnt bring Barabanov over to watch the Games.

I also believe Engvall will play his 40 Games so he will meet the Expansion Draft conditions to be exposed, same Holl ( unfortunatelly <a href="/users/Jamiepo" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@Jamiepo</a> forgot or "dodged" to answer my question , so im talking out of my ass here ) cause if you check, Kerfoot, Engvall, Malgin and Holl are the only ones to meet the demand out of the obvious Protected Players ( Dermott &amp; Mikheyev RFA rights are puzzling me tho in case they will accept QO and pull out 1y with arbitration )

My lines would be :

Hyman - Tavares - Marner
Nylander - Matthews - Simmonds......... ( not that Simmonds is top RW but you need a grinder in that line and nothing more )
Kerfoot - Engvall - Mikheyev ...................( by wasting Simmonds on 2nd you got yourself a strong 3rd Line tho Engvall and Kerfoot doesnt make up together for competent 3C )
Barabanov - Thornton - Spezza

Rielly - Brodie
Muzzin - Dermott
Lehtonen - Bogosian .................................( and ofc Holl in the mix to fill his 70 Games )

Thread: Kahun and Grandlund
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tmljk22</b></div><div>We don't actually know what Joey Anderson is. Many insiders believe that the Leafs actually see him as a potential bottom-six winger that can play as soon as this season. <strong>Why else would the Leafs have traded for him?</strong> They had other deals on the table involving draft picks...</div></div>

Cause they were dumping Cap.....Johnsson was late 2nd early 3rd value....if you dumping you need to agree for less cause thats what opposite Team in trade will do....so instead of agreeing to late 3rd or early 4th that you were offered....Dubarelli agreed to mid 3rd in shape of Anderson. Ofc now he will wear Blue and White and hes already conidered another steal......same as homers are mentioning Holl and Parayko in same sentence.....i mean....

To OP
Granlund honey, Granlund
