<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Db1899</b></div><div>If Nazar is gone by 13 (likely) than I want the isles to take Lambert. My take on him is that he needs to play with players that see the game in a similar way. I think his point production has a lot to do with his linemates.</div></div>

I strongly agree with that assessment. Not going to pretend that I'm some expert on him, but from what I've seen, it really looks like he's a driving force out there on the ice. He's a transition monster, seems to have great vision/creativity and is patient and talented enough to make the plays that he wants. If he's got linemates that can get read him and get themselves to opportune areas at the right times, which shouldn't be hard to find at the NHL level... watch out.

Could easily see him becoming an Ehlers type of player, which at 13 in this draft is a steal.

Edit: I do think there is some room for improvement with his shot, but even so.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PointStamkosVasilevskiy219188</b></div><div>Seriously though, everybody's going to talk about how the Leafs choked "again". <strong>This 21-22 Leafs team did not choke like the Leafs teams of the past decade.</strong> They gave everything they had, played well, got terrific production out of their stars, had solid secondary scoring, and the like. The Lightning were just better. They're the two-time defending Stanley Cup champs for a reason. But even though another year yielded the same result, this Leafs team should not look at themselves like the Leafs teams of prior years. They were much, much better. They play like this in future playoffs, it's going to yield fruit.</div></div>

And that's why I'm so disappointed, but more-so nervous. To me, you can't look at the fact that they didn't get the result they wanted this time around and make major organization changing decisions based off of it. You can't compound this loss with the others - they were a different team; a better team. And they have been getting progressively better since Dubas and Keefe have taken the reins, core intact. I'm legitimately afraid that the powers that be won't see it that way and the team will be worse off because of it.

Lmao, no way a reporter actually asked that</div></div>

I'm just catching up on the thread, so I wouldn't be surprised if someone's already covered this, but it's Steve Simmons, scum of the earth when it comes to media. The point of him saying that was not to actually ask a question and listen to a well reasoned answer. He wanted to make his opinion known/try to make Keefe look dumb/get a viral clip. That's why he's asking that after a loss when the tensions are high and not after game 3 which was in the same building and also featured Holl. So transparent it's pathetic. Guy's a loser.
