Thread: 104mil to sign MitchThank you Dubas
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>draft_em_sign_em_trade_em</b></div><div>Because Dubas likes drafting Euro/Russian players and it's in those Rounds you can find a hidden diamond in the rough (or waste a pick by trying, most often the case).</div></div>

Well I mean considering Dubas and the Leafs are extremely well-versed in analytics, it's a known fact that the drop off between a 3rd pick and 7th round pick is almost non-existent. It's a market inefficiency to swing for the fences and draft small players with real talent/skill and develop them into complementary players for our star players (i.e. JT, Auston, Mitch and Willy) and Johnsson and Moore are perfect examples of this.

This article is pretty old in terms of new information and there's tons of models out there

Thread: Does Babcock still want LGD
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Billy739</b></div><div>Zaitsev's contract bad because as TML adds more talent and depth he declines steadily every year .

when all you have is Bozak and Kadri then you become a part of the play whether you're capable or not . the issue becomes when they were bottom team in the league winning Mathews that season in the draft , they tend to look less critically at his turnovers , and 2 way game . As they begin to succeed with Babcock building his team around speed and youth Zaitsev just hasnt been able to get his **** together .

Zaitsev's not bad he's just a rebuilding teams 4th D at best and no contender can afford to pay him as he has little to no heart</div></div>

Yeah I mostly agree with that take, IMO it seems like Z doesn't care that much and hasn't taken any development steps at all. I understand it's not easy moving to North America and not knowing any english but it's clearly affecting his play, other than his average rookie year.

Thread: Well this is one way to get cap relief
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DirtyDangles</b></div><div>Well for one, Marner increased his point total, beyond Nylander, in year 2. 69 to 61 is not matching. Two, Nylander had 61 points in both years. This doesn't make him a 70 pt player. Three, so because Marner keepes getting better means that Nylander will as well because they are the exact same person? Marner has way more talent than Nylander.

So you keep calling us all stupid but it seems to be you who doesn't know fk all! Oh, and I watch enough Leafs games to see when a guy isn't playing well. I also watch basically every Flyers game. Now go back to your mom's basement and rub one out to your Willy Nye poster.</div></div>

I have my own house thank you but I actually have a Matthews poster. I also work in hockey ops for 2 teams that you have prob watched before, so we like to use more than "he sucks" to grade players. You seem like a person who has a lot of friends, good luck dude

Thread: Well this is one way to get cap relief
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>linehan10</b></div><div>His cap hit this season is over $10-million. He’s getting outprodued by Josh Leivo, who’s making $925k. And you wanna talk about PDO? The only team higher than the Islanders is the Leafs. Also, you mentioned that I should watch a game or two. I did. I watched when the Isles embarrassed the Leafs 4-0. Thanks for playing though! Do not get too down on yourself, you’re only as stupid as the rest of your fanbase.</div></div>

You keep bringing up production, because you don't actually watch the games and know anything about how he plays. We're talking about William Nylander dude, the guy is an elite elite playmaker and before this season was the exact same as Marner (in terms of every stat possible). There's no point in trying to have a meaningful conversation with a troll who keeps repeating the same points. And omg you brought up one game and determined that meant everything, I didn't even bring up JT cause I know you guys are still pissed. Stupid Americans

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>linehan10</b></div><div>Nobody said he isn’t a good player, and that he wasn’t very good the last two seasons... this season is a much different story, hence why I said he’s been utter trash since he’s been back. Now, I understand this could be hard for you, but I said he’s been trash this season because he has been. His 1.41 P1/60 is utter trash for a guy who *rubs eyes* is making TEN MILLION? yikes. That P1/60 number is lower than Josh Leivo. But yes, he’s been one of the better Leafs this year. I guess it’s possible you think that because his underlying metrics are decent, but he plays for a team that completely dominates underlying metrics. You’re out of your mind.</div></div>

Well that is very funny coming from the PDO Islanders ahhaha. And don't talk about Josh Leivo, I'm still upset that Babs wouldn't play him and he got traded (his childhood house is like 5mins away from mine). Also since he's been back (and I've watched every single game he's played for the leafs) he looked rough for games 3-10 and then was back to being dominant. He's been one of the top 5 F's undisputed. And seriously you need to check things before you say them... 10mil??? His AAV is 6.9mil... that's 3mil less than what you *thought*. You're out of your mind.
