Thread: Lets say Leafs say F you to Mitch if he doesnt sign 10x6 and theyll sit him
Man I live in Toronto and we have some passionate fans. However they are a fickle bunch. They love guys like Brad Smith, Hyman etc and turn on Real talent such as Marner. Im not related to the kid dont even know him. However IM on his side more than ever that he deserves Mathews and Tavares money.
Last three years stats for all three ;
Marner Matthews Tavares
gp g a pts +/- gp g a pts +/- gp g a pts +/-
82 26 68 94 +22 68 37 36 73 -9 82 47 41 86 +19
82 22 47 69 -1 62 34 29 63 +25 82 37 47 84 -12
77 19 46 61 even 82 40 29 69 +2 77 28 38 66 +4

I dont see a big difference between any of them. Marner kills penalties, Matthews doesn't all play pp time. Marner has been the teams leading scorer for last two seasons. I hope they win in my lifetime but we have to stop being so fickle. Talent wins cups effort wins games.

Thread: Oldmanhockey Islanders
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>slapshot723</b></div><div>A 3rd is ridiculous. We should be able to get a 1st plus a little for him.

Islander fans have been putting him in proposals here for a few reasons:
1) He has value and we have holes to fill (i.e. scoring)
2) He makes a decent amount of money, moving it out will help towards next off-season when we have Barzal/Pulock/Toews who need new contracts
3) Devon Toews is a freaking stud and can do what Leddy does at $700K vs. $5.5M
4) Sebastian Aho (the defenseman) is NHL ready and can play on the bottom pair, and we'd still have a very good defense

We all love Leddy, and I don't think anyone wants Leddy the player gone. He really can only stay one more year then he has to be traded to make cap room. If we do end up signing Panarin and Bobrovsky, Leddy has to be moved now.</div></div>

I agree with all your saying. However sometimes when teams know they are helping you, the return is less. I may have went low at a third but i would still do it for a second. Toews Wilde Dobson Aho Pulock. Def are set for years coming up def need help up front.
