Thread: Trade Deadline Hopes
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>Miller had one good year last year. You know my take, so many fans all RHDs on any team are better than any Leaf Dman. Miller get PP that skews his stats, he's average at best playing defence. I like Rosen, next year. not too parachute in taking Gardiner's spot now.</div></div>

I don't think Miller is a Norris Dman or anything, but at 3.45 he'd be a solid second pair especially as a RD. Compared to Zaitsev his possession and zone exit stats are far superior and I see that as a huge problem with our right side. I think getting Dermott more minutes would only be positive for us, don't think Rosen would have a problem holding down 3rd pair minutes either. BTW miller had absolutely unreal underlying numbers when he was on the 3rd pair in Boston too, just lower minutes

Thread: Trading Nylander is Ridiculous
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DirtyDangles</b></div><div>He is better both offensively and defensively. Marner plays against harder competition that Nylander. Everything about his game is better. You just have a hard on for Nylander for some reason.</div></div>

-Marner has played against a LOT easy competition for the first 2 years of their careers and has played more minutes + way more PP time and teammates.
- Nylander can play C
- Nylander has far superior zone entry/exit stats.
- Since last year Marners assist rate is 1.64 and Nylanders is.... 1.64
Nylander has a nicer shot/puck control and Marner has better patience and handles.

I'm not even picking on Marner, I love him as a player. They're both star players who the Leafs are lucky to have. The Don Cherryesque gap is the problem.

He is just not nearly as good as Auston and possibly slightly better than Nylander
