Sujet: Screw Paul Marner
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>pharrow</b></div><div>No one has yet to make a logical reason he should take less than 11.6
Which is where I believe he will sign.
THis is hockey. Players don't have to play second fiddle on the ice. They can be put on their own line. But that also means they are going to want paid.
The shelled out big money for JT last year. Come tell me you would rather pay JT 11 million a year than Marner. And you will see rather easily why he's going to get paid.</div></div>

Marner is a winger.
Rantanen and Point are both better FA's that likely won't sign for over 10.
No winger makes over 10.5 and def not in a RFA contract year.
Marners point skyrocketed playing with an elite C and JT's slightly increased (All JT's wingers have done this)
Marner gets more endorsement money in Toronto than any other team can offer him in terms of cap/endorsements total.

It's an easy concept to understand. Marner won't be back on Toronto over 10.5, but he'll almost certainly be back.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LoganOllivier</b></div><div>We live in an age of extremism. He'll start the season with Matthews and they'll come out of the gate like gangbusters, Matthews will again have something stupid like 15 goals in his first 10 games and Nylander will have 15 points or something stupid and all of a sudden he'll be worth everything in the world and Marner will be the most overrated player in the league because he'll have 12 points in 10 games.

A guy has a stretch of 20 games where he plays well and he's a god and worth a kings ransom. Public perception is all about the flavor of the month and if you get hot, your value is about 2000% higher than it should be or a bad half season will make you garbage that isn't worth a 2nd rounder. Its stupid.

Nylander is a great player with his entire prime still ahead of him.

Pesce is a very good defender who's value is massively inflated right now.

Both fan bases should just stop talking to each other. Carolina keep Pesce, Leafs keep Nylander and everyone just stop it.</div></div>

Couldn't be truer, Nylander is fine and Pesce is a great player but they're not on the same planet skill or value wise.

Sujet: My lines for the playoffs
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bcarlo25</b></div><div>
"The leafs are definitely a slightly more proficient offensive team, the real test will be if the leafs can play up to the bruins level defensively, given that the bruins were 3rd in goals against and the leafs were 20th. Keeping the bruins 3rd ranked powerplay off the ice would go a long way into trying to even the battle defensively." Personally, I would add, "Hopefully Gardiner isn't fishing his jock out of the rafters the entire series like last year."</div></div>

Agree, this should the best of the three series we've had so far, imo the most exciting series in the first round. Boston needs to pressure the right side and get Toronto to play their more grinding style and Toronto needs to keep the game fast and slow down the first line.
