Thread: coulda woulda shoulda nylander edition
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>kous</b></div><div>I would not say the Core 4 doesn't work. Due to the pandemic the Leaf's were cap heavy more than any other team as they just signed their core when it hit.

If they stay the course like they are doing and look to fix the D this summer they will be a heavy favorite in 2025</div></div>

The core 4 has generally been fine at worst too. The issue has pretty much never been them or their production save the Columbus series.
This season is basically everything but them is turning to crap because the new guy didnt address any of the actual issues and their goaltending is a mess because of injuries and one guy turning into a pumpkin for a quarter of the year.
This is why you dont make 'snot' your primary goal to improve a team

Thread: Jiricek
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>kous</b></div><div>You never know CBJ are a train wreck of a franchise right now. How many players have spoken out in frustration this year? Merzlikins, Fantilli, Chinakov and Jiricek? imagine if Babcock was the coach?</div></div>

Elvis and Chinakhov both requested and rescinded trades because they deservedly got the playing time they wanted. Jiriced hasn't requested a trade, he'll still get the playing time he wants. Fantilli is going through the growing pains but hasn't voiced frustrations. Johnson was the other, but he bought into going to the AHL to start the season and has been great since.

It's almost like the lame duck management group doesn't know how to handle players, and the drama gets fixed by playing the guys they obviously should be playing?

Thread: Best top 9 in league
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dgibb10</b></div><div>That doesn't make up for the 4 other studs

Holy **** leafs fans are delusional. The devils have the better Cs in the top 4. and the difference between bratt+meier to nylander+marner doesn't outweigh what in this case would be 3 near ppg players and ondrej palat

who else do you have at forward to compare to Toffoli? to buch? to mercer?</div></div>

Buddy here is delusional... Matthews is a top 3 player in the league... He's so much better than Hughes and JT's a PPG, better than Hischier especially with where he scores his goals... All in front of the net in the dirty areas

Marner&gt;Bratt and Nylander&gt;Meier

Bert&gt;Mercer

Domi&gt;Toffoli

And so who's a comp to Knies or Kampf or Jarnkrok?

No need to be blinded by being delusional
