Thread: ENOUGH - give utah their reg szn star
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GM_SZK</b></div><div>I actually think Kampf is a good 3/4C for any playoff team IF surrounded correctly...was just countering your comments re Crouse and Ingram have no playoff success.

Anyway you like Marner and maybe think he is good value for his cap and I think he is poor value for his cap and slips on banana peels and hides around the perimeter mostly when it counts...can we leave it at that?</div></div>

Yeah, he cant be like brad marchand who dives from love taps and then holds the wrong ankle like a baby.
Getting actually hurt is much worse than that for some reason.
Like, this is a prime example of why the marner nonsense is so disingenuous. He's had issues but they have never been nonsense about hiding or being scared or whatever, but it's an easy narrative that people dont have to think about

Thread: move on from the core
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GM_SZK</b></div><div>Gretzky sees the game like no other, watch TBS...his analysis is amazing...yes terrible coach but thats a different game

Also I don't blame Marner...I just think he is not a difference maker in the playoffs especially, high cap hit on a team with 3 others...hey I hope the guy is the next Hyman or Kadri or etc as I said.

I do admire your loyalty though, you are a true fan!</div></div>

Gretzky saw the ice as a player like no other. If he was any good at thinking the game outside of his skates he wouldn't have been a disaster on fire as a coach, he is a mediocre analyst on the best day and the very perfect example of being good at something doesn't mean you can analyze what makes someone good at it.

Thread: move on from the core
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GM_SZK</b></div><div>I agree with you the trade is rubbish but unless Marner somehow does somthing tomorrow night and beyond he has little value...Marchand is twice (to be kind) the player Marner is in every way at just over half the cap hit! Marner is way way overrated imho...on the flip side the guy could use a change of scenery to reinvent himself...like Hyman, Kadri, Marchment, Joashua, etc have</div></div>

Marner has plenty of value and pretending otherwise is wish fullfilment. and of course marchand is cheaper, he wasnt even a 50 point player and didnt play defence when he signed his contract.
And none of these guys you mentioned re-invented themselves they just had weird development curves, except Kadri who is who he has always been he just stopped being a giant moron and getting himself suspended after doing it three playoffs in a row

Thread: Idk Keefe maybe do something different
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>WJC_Enthusiast</b></div><div>-Marner and Matthews don't fit together anymore and that line of Bertuzzi Matthews and Domi has been very good, why split them up?
-Liljegren has been decent and Brodie has been horrendous this season, why scratch Liljegren?
-Dewar/Kampf/Reaves have been a major positive sign so far, it seems that every single time they're on the ice something happens.
-I do like putting Rielly with McCabe but then that leaves you with a weaker bottom 4 so Idk
-I do agree Woll should start game 4 and Samsonov should never start a game in TOR again</div></div>

-Matthews and Marner have been a success for basically their entire career, domi riding matthews coat tails for less than a dozen games changes nothing, especially since domi has been a liability in two of the three playoff games so far
-Woll has been worse than Samsonov for like 2 months now and Samsonov has been the only reason the leafs were even in the past two games, the hate he is getting recently is rediculous.
