After seeing the leafs take 2/2 games vs the tkachuk-less sens, as well as wiping the floor with the 3 games in 4 nights sharks and the AHL penguins squad - surely they will clean up against the blackhawks

Thread: Can we please put this narrative to rest

leafs had JVR, bozak, and komarov leaving in UFA. Their leading scorer, a veteran centre and a huge team guy/reliable checking forward. The leafs made a calculation that dropping $11M on a then-franchise centre was preferable to paying like $16M to bring those guys back (also keeping in mind JT was the youngest of all 3)

it was a sticky situtation compounded by the fact that all 3 of the big guys were in need of extensions in like 1-2 years time. it was a good move then, but obviously JT is overpaid and can't drive a line like he used to

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GenXHockey</b></div><div>Yup, now he needs to go out and prove it. I think he will. Love his style of game. Seems to have an awesome attitude as well.</div></div>

super excited to see him play. he definitely won't replace hyman, but if he's even half of the player, it's 100% worth it. Smart GMs never overpay for goodrow/coleman/hyman types pushing 30, they go out and find the next goodrow/coleman/hyman, of which there is always some

dubas literally took the hyman money, built us a solid 3rd line of ritchie-kampf-kase, then replaced hyman with a younger dude for <$1M who will likely fill most of the hole left by hyman on this team lol

hyman was pretty poo poo in his first season, and compared to bunting's first foray into the league, he was a lot better lol. Bunting also has 5 pro seasons under his belt where he's been excellent, hyman only had 1 half-season split between AHL/NHL, the rest being college

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div><strong> 31 other teams don't think Bunting or Ritchie are top 6, other wise they would have paid more than 950,00 and 2,5m.</strong>

to be fair, 6-7 other teams offered bunting more money to play for them and he turned it down to come to toronto

you could also say most teams don't have a top 6 centred by matthews/tavares calibre players and two top 20 wingers like mitch/willy

ritchie might be a third liner, but with JT/willy he could still be pretty effective imo

i do agree though that kerfoot is quite valuable to the leafs, given he kind of does everything lol

Thread: Looks like we got a team boys

robertson will be in the AHL, unless he proves otherwise

imo ritchie/kerfoot are top 6 wingers, kampf is 3C, brooks 4C, simmonds/spezza rotate in and out of the lineup

Thread: Lines with Ritchie

lol kerfoot is a good player, why are we giving him away for nothing??

leafs can bury engvall and maybe trade mikheyev to run a 22 man roster, or just leave mikheyev and run a 21 man roster.

Makes no sense to give away kerfoot (our second leading scorer from the playoffs) just so michael amadio, hutch, and gabriel can sit in the press box lol

Thread: This Team Sucks

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Nate</b></div><div>The only downgrade is Hyman to Bunting, which is nothing against Bunting because I love the guy but its damn near impossible to replace Hyman. If Mikheyev gets moved, Kampf will likely fill his role. Leafs have done well this offseason, but because we didnt sign Landeskog and Hamilton Leafs fans will see it as an L</div></div>

depending how each player performs, bunting at 950K might actually be better than hyman at $5.5M lol

hyman played his first pro season age 24-25, split between the marlies (37p in 59gp) and the leafs (6p in 16gp). Age 25-26 he was stapled to matthews playing 17 mins a night and only had like 28 points

bunting has been playing pro since 2015, when he was 20. He scored 25p in 63gp, 28p in 67gp, 43p in 67gp, 41p in 52gp then 49p in 58gp. This past season he lit up the AHL with 19p in 16gp then graduated to the NHL at the same age hyman did (25) and scored 13p in 21gp playing 16 minutes a night

the leafs might have a gem and look like absolute geniuses for scooping this guy up. He turned down 5-6 other offers and took less to play in toronto lol

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Nate</b></div><div>Not really. Its miles better than last years team. A team like the Leafs doesn't need to sign any of the big fish. They improved their depth, which is exactly what they needed. Bunting is a slam dunk, and the Leafs have a few prospects ready to go (eg. Robertson, potentially Gogolev, Liljegren). Not too shabby</div></div>

hyman--->bunting
thornton--->kampf
bogosian--->liljegren
andersen--->mrazek

is this team really that much worse than last year lol

Thread: Why didnt we sign saad instead of a backup

lol, jack missed games due to injury on multiple occasions - idk why people can't see why having two good goalies is a negative. Jack has his off nights, so will petr. Also Jack's numbers likely come down to earth lol. Remember hutch was heralded as a saviour after 5 games in 2018-19 when he played excellent and was the playoff backup?

also, saad is from pittsburgh, he's played in chicago, columbus, colorado etc. Signed in St Louis, maybe he didn't wanna come to canada - it's a commonality among many NHL players
