Thread: WCH 2025 CANADA
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>nucks2001</b></div><div>This hurts to look at. Too many old guys and you’re leaving some of the best players available on reserves. Darnell Nurse AND Morgan Reilly!? No Devon Toews is absurd. Nurse probably doesn’t even make Canada’s C-Team. Skinner? Giroux? Hagel! Where’a Shea Theodore? He’s a near lock for Team Canada.

This is what the team SHOULD look like:

Stamkos-McDavid-Marner
Bedard-Crosby-MacKinnon
Marchand-Point-Barzal
Schiefele-Thomas-Cozens

Toews-Makar
Morrisey-Pietrangelo
Pelech-Theodore
Hamilton-Doughty

Hart
Someone
Someone

Could easily see Byram or Power knocking off Doughty if they break through this season. Pelech is one of the best shutdown guys in the league and I’d rather trust him with the puck over guys like Reilly, Nurse or Chabot.</div></div>

Barzal? I can't take you seriously now..

Thread: What is Timmins status
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>Certainly the Leafs do need at least 7 NHL competent Dmen this season.....let's hope Timmins is one, cause Benoit isn't
But again. the discussion above seems to put the blame on the Leafs dmen. No mention of how poorly the forwards have been as a group.
Domi and Bertuzzi have contributed nothing. Last two loses, one goal per game as team.
Hard to believe, that the Leafs would have faked an LTIR for Timmins. He was having a fine preseason. And not to play for over three weeks, and expect him to be NHL up to NHL speed, just doesn't bode well for Timmins or the team.</div></div>

I would've like to see the Leafs play better last game, they started flat and bert looked bad against Chicago, marner played pretty bad against Chicago too but the whole team seemed asleep against Chicago...Florida was better as a team but the lines were all over the place the biggest reason the Leafs didn't beat Florida in my opinion was not solving bobovsky at all again I think he is the real Leafs killer and not the players just the bob

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jaok3</b></div><div>Brodie and Oleksiak would have to waive and RD has not improved it's become worse.

No question there will be ltir guys 3-4 weeks of time off

But what if you have 2 guys day to day injury there aren't 2 guys to fill their spot because of the cap, my trade doesn't address that but it is pretty risky

Thread: This team is scary
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Richard88</b></div><div>Actually I'd say that Joseph's value has never been LOWER... not so much because of him, but moreso because of Ottawa's cap situation. Teams know that they're in a bind and are asking for a 1st or Boucher to take on Joseph's caphit to enable Ottawa to sign Pinto.

In isolation though Joseph was probably valued higher when he was on a cheap contract where his play exceeded his contract. Now his contract isn't really a "value" contract, though it's probably not a "bad" contract either, just fair value.</div></div>

That makes sense but also teams do favors for other teams also with the hopes of getting a future favour done as long as the player can help their team because if you decline an opportunity to upgrade your team and play hardball that also has consequences in the future

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GarthBrooks</b></div><div>Since he's on LTIR he has to miss a minimum of 10 reg season games so iunno i feel like it was some funny business/convenience so we don't loose him on waivers</div></div>

I think this has been happening in the league unfortunately it's a flaw in the cap system and plus it's too tight lately needed to move a bit higher the past couple of years....but then again I ask if it really is happening it's hard to say, maybe even small bumps or bruises the team says go on ltir make sure it's perfect or we have to put you on waivers lol because I think when they come off ltir they are waiver exempt to play in the minors for conditioning but I'm not sure how long that last....overall it's weird for sure.

Thread: Lines for the road trip
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SomeonesOffended</b></div><div>I could dig this but jarnkrok was a beast on that second line</div></div>




This is better knies and minten a much better opportunity to succeed jarnkrok was a beast on the second line but he was a beast on the third line too..the thing is knies and minten did fine together but they could do so much better with 2 vets on their side instead of overworking to keep up all the time because they are still adapting but also they are doing great.

These were my lines from the beginning I don't want to over think it but what Keefe did might be genius because what he did was get Domi playing with top guys to push him and he also got knies and minten together which pushed them a lot and it's the right time to play with your food but now he is making the correct lineup just now guys have more experience playing all over which is good as a team to have so it should work out well against Florida I hope knies and minten get on the board well knows might score up there now
