Thread: Why did you sign Yandle and Jones
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>flyersarephilly</b></div><div>Yandle is York insurance. If York comes into camp and looks ready to play Yandle is only making 20k more than so if Yandle sits it's not a big deal. As for Jones I have a feeling that they were looking at Holtby because he has a relationship with Hart but he told them he wanted to stay out west and so by the time they actually went to sign a goalie Jones was one of the few left. Jones also has a relationship with the goalie coach Kim Dillabaugh from his time in LA where jones was arguably at his best</div></div>

You can’t scratch yandle, he has an iron man streak, it would be a really non classy move to sit him. They shouldn’t have signed him, get some other depth defenceman who you can sit and is actually decent in their own end. You have to sit Braun now if you wanna play York, and he is pretty solid. Him and York would be a great pair as York would learn from him.

I’ve cheered for Jones to bounce back every year and he just hasn’t. I don’t think it’s there anymore. Maybe in a hopefully winning environment and the goalie coach it can get better, but it’s a tough bet.

Thread: Are the Leafs deeper than last season
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lyle_Bubas</b></div><div>dubas literally took the hyman money, built us a solid 3rd line of ritchie-kampf-kase, then replaced hyman with a younger dude for &lt;$1M who will likely fill most of the hole left by hyman on this team lol

"haha what lyle, that's crazy hyman is a god"

<img class="for_img" src="https://i.gyazo.com/912125593ac08bbdbcff4e9f23e261cc.png" alt="912125593ac08bbdbcff4e9f23e261cc.png">

hyman was pretty poo poo in his first season, and compared to bunting's first foray into the league, he was a lot better lol. Bunting also has 5 pro seasons under his belt where he's been excellent, hyman only had 1 half-season split between AHL/NHL, the rest being college</div></div>

If you watch bunting he plays very similarly to Hyman. Digging out pucks, in players faces, very hard to play against, just really annoying. A little more finesse to his game as well as a better shot. Bunting didn’t just have that season playing in sheltered minutes, he was playing 16-17 mins a night in the top 6 in ARI, against other teams top lines. Imagine what he can do with Matthews and marner. I could easily see him scoring 15 maybe 20 goals on that line. I’m glad Dubas didn’t go the goodrow/Coleman/Hyman type route of overpaying middle six grinders, instead is taking very low risk moves on guys he sees a lot of potential in that can replace these types of guys.
