Thread: playoff lines
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jaok3</b></div><div>Knies or Bert on the topline would be there for their corner work and net presence. You have removed that element putting Nylander on the topline. Why?
Bert-Matthews-Marner
Jarnkrok-Domi-Nylander
Knies-JT-McMann
Dewar-Kampf-Reaves/Holmberg</div></div>

After watching the leafs for years it makes sense loading up the top line and have them learn to do stuff themselves. They’re taking up most of the cap and it unrealistic to rely on players with low cap hits like knies, Ritchie, bunting, bertuzzi (not a low cap hit but also just doesn’t fit), jarnkrok. Those guys aren’t built for high minutes. Knies is a rookie and already playing on a top line which might hurt his game as he has to adjust being the 3rd guy on a top line rather than a player who just needs to improve and start his career. He plays well with them rn but not great. Also will benefit the top guys because there won’t be anyone to help them during scrums. They would have to learn to be team players and do it themselves. Might help them be more aggressive and motivated to grab the puck in the corners. The top players set the tone for the team and that’s something most people don’t understand. Although I still understand and respect ur decision with what u want for the playoffs. I just feel there needs to be more of an initiative out of the top guys

Thread: Parayko and Dowd
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mokumboi</b></div><div>Uhh what now? His contract is fine. What sucks is that you somehow imagine that this garbage offer can;t be beat. Dude, teams have been calling nonstop for him since before the Cup season. A late 1st, a small forward who can't stay in one piece and a B prospect that is the exact opposite of what the Blues are looking for does NOT get you a genuine 1RD with 12M of retention. Your garbage offer doesn't even come anywhere near paying for just the retention.

You guys up there have a problem.</div></div>

So you don’t have a problem paying a defender 6.5m until he’s 37? Players mostly decline in their 30s. Recently 34 has been a big number. Parayko is already declining.

You guys still haven’t proposed an offer. That’s how I know you guys hop on this website just to argue because you think you know everything lmao. I’ve been right with lots of trades in the past so Ik how to value players. You can’t make me feel wrong because you’re too attached to your top defender. Lets not forget that you guys are also in a retool which can take another 2-3 years. It’s best for the Blues to trade Parayko now. no one else will make what the Maple Leafs are offering. And that’s on you guys for having to retain 12M. Next time give your defender a better deal for your org.

You guys up there have a problem
