Considering Scott hasn’t played a hockey game in over a year and is a 21yo goalie, expecting anything from him within 3 years at the NHL level is kind of foolhardy imo, let him develop properly in the ECHL and then AHL. I also think any expectations on Brooks or Rosen to be anything more than like a 3rd or 4th spare at their position is optimistic. Also, Amirov probably needs at least 2 years (one in the KHL, one in the AHL) possibly more before he makes the jump. The others could step into a meaningful role of some kind in the next 2 seasons though.

Hallander is a 3rd line Center Ceiling!! And Amirov isn’t ready next year!! And Brooks, Korshkov, Barbabanov, and Joey Anderson are 4th line options at best too!! And C.Rosen is organizational depth. IF He plays in the NHL it will be as a 7th-8th defender, playing limited minutes and 3rd pairing. These are all “C”, “C-“ prospects at best!! Except, Amirov, Sandin, and Liljegren. And Lethonen is probably a “B-“ prospect. And we’ll See, it’s tough for Defense to transition to NHL from Russia!!

here's one: marner for art ross and matthews for the richard

haha, crazy right ahahahahahahaha

... unless...?

It does say surprise for a reason 🤷‍♂️

Let me be optimistic 😂

It’s not the craziest idea i’ve ever heard. but the art ross for Marner is unlikely.

yeah matthews for richard is much more likely than Marner getting the art ross

what if things got super meme worthy and tavares and matthews both tied for the maurice richard lmao

My bad!! Didn’t mean to put that negativity into the universe. Speak it into existence my friend!!

And I hope Hallander works out for the Leafs!! I’m a fan!!

Seems like you took 75% of the leafs prospects with any sort of a resume.

Can I play too??

The Leafs win the Cup!!

woah, woah, woah!

now here’s an idea... what if Marner wins the Richard, Nylander the Art Ross and Matthews the selke 😳

the saddest part is that even if the leafs win a cup, the hockey world will immediately underrate them and talk about how they won't ever win another one

such is the struggle of being a leafs fan

Ya, I knew that would sting. “The Leafs win the cup” joke!! But that’s b/c most leafs fans are annoying and cocky!! It’s not a hate for the LEAFS!! It’s a hate for their fans!! Lol. Super good fans too!! Great fan base!! Most very knowledgeable too!!

Iwish they had a better owner/GM or whatever they need!! Atleast they look like they are going for it this year!! As much as pens fans hate us trading away 1st round picks and all our youth, and the jokes about overpaying for Kappy. Well atleast our Owner/GM go for it. I would rather that than never do anything and stash all our lottery tickets and assets and never get out of the 1st round.

But Toronto is on the right track with a superstar like Matthews!!

A.Matthews will win one!! Let’s just hope it’s in Toronto!!

Imo, Matthews is the most likely guy to win the richard next year. Marner for the art Ross. Well, idk about that.
