Thread: LEAFS ACQUIRE MONTOUR
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TMLSage</b></div><div>You might be right. However, Bracco was the second leading scorer in the entire AHL last year as a second year player who had limited ice time in his 1rst year with the Marlies. He is an elite playmaking right winger and is great at quarterbacking a power play from the right point. His problem is he is not a fit on Leafs because of Marner, Nylander and Kapanan are ahead of him and he is a smaller sized player with limited defensive skills. However, might be a fit on a team like Buffalo looking for just offense from him.</div></div>

AHL leading scorers for the past few years:

2019-20: Reid Boucher
2018-19: Carter Verhaege
2017-18: Chris Terry
2016-17: Kenny Agostino
2015-16: Christopher Bourque
2014-15: Brian O’Neill

Offensive success in the AHL means very little.

Thread: D help
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PleaseBanMeForMyOwnGood</b></div><div>I bet your reasoning is somewhere along the lines of how TO values guys for where they are playing on their current team. As in Player A is a 2nd pair guy on Team A but would for sure be the best player on TO's right side so his value is immense. Funny how so many people will say that to chirp Leaf fans and then immediately do that with Kapanen who could get 50 points this year playing 3rd line minutes with a turnstile of linemates and centres this season. Kapanen is a 2nd line winger on most teams in the NHL, Top line on more teams than he's a 3rd liner but talk to any non Leaf fan and he's just a 3rd liner while guys like Larsson, Manson, Mayfield, Murphy ect are all worth massive hauls from the Leafs because all those 2nd pair defenders would apparently be the best defenceman in TO.

That is what I call a pile a crap. If a guy is a 2nd pair defender, he's valued as a 2nd pair defender. If a player is a 2nd liner, he's valued as a 2nd liner. There are as many teams wanting top 6 scoring help as there are needing defenceman. To think that guys like Johnsson and Kapanen (both top 6 scoring wingers with age and term on their side) have little to no value is just stupid.</div></div>

At what point did I undervalue Kapanen? Was it when I said that on this site, he and Johnsson are overvalued by *Leafs* fans (example: KAPANEN FOR DUMBA STRAIGHT UP!!!!, or JOHNSSON AS THE HEADLINER FOR SETH JONES!!!!)

or, was it when I said:

"...but IMO, you can do a lot better than a couple of months of Hamonic if you're giving up Kap."

It's mildly entertaining when you rip apart 50% of a comment and take it as a personal affront. You're quite the fella!

Thread: TORANA
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JoeForts</b></div><div>He is a fan favorite but ... the ceiling in Toronto is the 3rd line for him, he hasn't clicked well with either AM or JT, I'd pull the trigger on a trade for some defence if we are serious about a run ... and the leafs can't really afford to not send salary back in any trade ... if you think its an overpayment, maybe take out the 2nd. Ideally .... they should go for Georgiev and Deangelo in NY, but that's gonna cost alot more than just Kapanen .... and those 2 wouldn't be short term fixes .... how much is Dubas willing to surrender?</div></div>

I don’t know if Deangelo is the fix you guys need. Guy is a bomb offensively, but that’s not really what the Leafs need. I like him a lot, and would love him on the Ducks, but the Leafs could really use someone that can shut guys down in the playoffs. Not a lot of 7-4 games once you hit April.

Thread: Line Ups Against Nashville
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MDA_47</b></div><div>We do too. Curious to see why he was down in SD. He’s playing well.</div></div>

It may be completely unrelated, but I have a few pals that work for the Charlottetown Islanders (His Q team), apparently he was about as unlikeable a human as there is (at the time), and his father was worse.

One of the things they were telling me is that the team had a cell phone ban, and between intermissions he’d go out into the hallway and text his father who would be critiquing his play. Also essentially refused to play defence, or accept coaching on how to play in his own end.

Probably the most talented player to ever play with the Islanders, and hopefully he can figure it out, because you hate to see someone waste that kind of opportunity.
