Thread: Leafs New Line Combinations
Agree with most of this: the top line has not looked as effective as last year (20 shots for 15 against) they normally dominate which we have not seen yet but willing to give them a few more games before I’d consider splitting them up although no check in hell Keefe does lol.

Nylander has looked awesome but again same issues as always they are hardly wining at 5v5 play (21 shots for 18 against) Love Malgin but I’d be cool with and expect Robertson to take Denis out, at least for a few games. Would be great if he is the long term solution for him them but I’m not so sure yet.

Now the 3rd line as been the Leafs best 5v5 unit for the first 3 games. They look awesome and the stats show (16 shots for 3 against) They’ve dominated their ice time just need some shooting luck.

The 4th line has looked not good (4 shots for 12 against) I love the energy they bring but need to start winning more 5v5 play. This was a line I’d thought would dominate, haven’t seen it yet.

Thread: Genius Moves
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JaredOfLondon</b></div><div>How is trading for arguably the worst starter in the league over the past 3 years a genius move?</div></div>

Because he has star talent (literally been an all-star three times). If you judge a goalie by blindly looking at their save % then sure, he dropped off the last three years, which totally coincidentally aligns to when the ducks team went to crap and stopped playing competent hockey. Watch the ducks play and you’ll see it’s impossible for any goalie to sit back there and manage a .920 save % for a good sample size. It was crazy that Stolarz managed it at the sample he did, but if he played the sample Gibson did it would have been the same or worse. GMs will be smart enough to value him. If they don’t offer enough value, the ducks will happily keep him
