Thread: Cant wait till after the draft
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BlackwoodForVezina</b></div><div>Way to much for marner</div></div>

Not really when you actually break it down.

Severson is another Jake Gardiner type of guy and he’s only got 1 year left on his deal - there was a reason why Gardiner was ran out of Toronto and Severson likely wouldn’t fair too well either.

Holtz is a good prospect but he’s just that. He could be a stud or a bust, no one knows yet and moving a guy like Marner requires something known that’s good going back.

Tatar and McLeod are nothing more than bottom 6 guys - Tatar likely thrown in as part of a cap neutralizing player and he’s not really of any value to Toronto because they’re already full on wingers and prospects that play the wing.

2nd overall is nice, but again just a prospect. Same with the future pick. &amp; when Toronto is trying to win now those don’t help at all.

Marner is a top 10 player in the league, it’s gonna take at least 4-5 quality assists to help the team win now to get him out of Toronto. This offer isn’t really it. It has value, sure. But it’s not the type of value for a Marner deal

Thread: Jersey Shore
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TampaBayLightning22</b></div><div>LOL Kucherov took less because Florida is a tax free State, New Jersey isn't. Plus Kucherov took less here in Tampa so they could keep the core together for awhile and it worked with 2 cup wins and a possible 3rd this year.</div></div>

This site and people like you have too much tunnel vision. Gaudreau had one good season after 2 subpar seasons and a very lacklustre playoff history. &amp; that good season came in a contract year when guys are motivated more. That does NOT get you over $10m. That’s absolutely ludicrous. I’d bet anything on him not getting anything more than $9.5m at absolute most, especially with teams recovering from the pandemic losses.

Your opinion is complete bonkers here.

Thread: UnrealisticOffseason if they trade Nylander
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>No, trading Nylander isn't unrealistic. But going with 20 man roster and trading NTC Muzzin to a non playoff team is beyond silly.</div></div>

News flash: Leafs have been toying with 20 man rosters for years. They know how to work the cap and call players up to make it work. It’s really not that big of a deal, especially with their farm team in the same city.

&amp; players waive NTC’s and NMC’s all the time. Saying he won’t is pure nonsense because you don’t know what the player is thinking. I don’t think Muzzin is getting moved this summer anyways, but regardless players still waive all the time - those are mainly put in place so players aren’t blind sided with a trade.

Stop with the same old act you always have on here. It’s pure ignorance at this point.

Thread: 2022 regardless of playoff outcome
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GenXHockey</b></div><div>That persons name is liljegren. I like Roy but this team doesn't need anymore Dmen. We have been sitting nhl Dmen most of the season.</div></div>

That person’s name is not Liljegren. Have you seen him play with Rielly? They’re awful together. They’re both guys that need to be the primary puck mover and struggle when it comes to one on one battles.. you can’t have 2 of those on the same pair. Liljegren will be a fine top 4 option, but on a second pair and not beside Rielly. That pair would be eaten alive defensively. Splitting them up was the exact reason Toronto got Lyubushkin to play with Rielly (stay at home guy who isn’t a primary puck mover) and Giordano to play with Liljegren (defensive first kind of guy).

Liljegren is not a future top pairing guy and is not defensively responsible enough to play with Rielly.
