Thread: Offer sheet blitz 2nd attempt to Dubois Domi to Minny
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Billy739</b></div><div>Yet you mean as Suzuki's capable just still learning
but i agree completely

Bergeron has never been a 90 or 100point player but has often been top 10 in the league hands down based on his 2 way ability like Danault .
not that i'm saying he'll be Bergeron but more like Bergeron Lite brought to you by Molson Breweries :P

i like Danault because he added weight and just discovered he's not a small guy compared to Byron who hits anyone he can at 5'9 :P
i find he's gotten drastically better in the OZ for it and when Gallagher was out he was battling infront of the net in Gally's house and picked up a few points

Danault over Domi because of consistency and upside fitting our timeline /needs better
both are excellent players though</div></div>
I have a feeling Suzuki is going to turn into an excellent 2-way center. But today is not that day haha :)

Thread: Marner Trade Top Defence
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LeafsFanForSomeReason</b></div><div>There are no Dmen available that will make as much of an impact as Marner does. If you were to trade him, this type of deal would be the way to go imo. However, there is no real need to trade Marner. What the Leafs need is an adequate blue line and for the whole team to commit to playing in their own end when they need to. To get that adequate blue line will not require a trade of one of the big 4 contracts, regardless of what people say when the Leafs are struggling.</div></div>
I tend to agree. I think it's possible to win with most of your chips on forwards. In fact, most cup-winning teams in recent memory didn't have an elite top-4, just one star D and many serviceable top-4. And as far as I can think, I don't remember any of the teams that overloaded on D winning (ex: Nashville in 18-19, Carolina, even Panthers). Toronto has Rielly and Muzzin as serviceable top-4. They're on the right track to have what they need in terms of pieces.

But cup-winning teams play as a team, defend as a team, check as a team, and I think that's what I see as missing. It can be coached, you've already got a great set of players to work with.
