<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Wilson_W_Wilson_Jr</b></div><div>Why would Leaf fans not want Hyman at this # for 7 years?

Toronto just recently signed Nylander to $11.5 for 8 years and he'll be turning 36 years old in the final year of his deal.

Hasn't Toronto had Muzzin on the LTIR for the last 3 years, making over $5.5 million a season? This year Muzzin is also getting a scouting contract on top of his LTIR contract.

Even when Hyman was in Toronto, he was more than worth this number. He played first or second line regularly, and if you can get a guy at this #, that can play on your first or second line, that's a deal.

He is born in Toronto and he wanted to stay in Toronto.

This is an all heart type of player, with an endless motor, who just keeps going.


People want to hate on Holland, but he has won, multiple times.

He has assembled a team with solid depth, with guys like Kane, Nugent-Hopkins, Hyman, Perry, and Bouchard all on very good deals, that he signed.

This is how you win.</div></div>

All this praise for Holland when really it was guys like Yzerman that got him his wins. When he had to do it on his own he ****ed up numerous times and we have seen that even in EDM there have been big ****ups especially this year. 3.25m bonus to Brown who has 1 goal...YIKES

For Hyman this may very well be the peak of the performance before the coaster tips and then the 5.5m becomes an anchor. Its been seen numerous times in other forwards like him where its like holy cow to then how can we get rid of this deal. Kane's already in the territory

Also comparing Nylander to Hyman is silly. Both signed till 36 but the playstyle dictates alot and when we look at comparables Willy has the better chance of aging very well into his deal even at 36

And lets be real the real way to win is following the VGK formula as since coming into the league they have been very successful.


Anyways no point in continuing the silliness guy signed elsewhere no need to keep backtracking as whats past is past. Bunting was good when here as the replacement and now the future is Knies

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Juice</b></div><div>I just think that's a backwards way of looking at it. If there's a guy available now that you're comfortable with for 3-4 years...you don't NOT sign him because you want to keep the spot open for a 50-50 prospect. If Minten actually pans out...then great...now you have a middle 6 C on an entry level deal.

Same would apply for Cowan...or Niemala....until they show you that they're ready to take a roster spot...you don't intentionally leave a hole in the roster waiting for them to hopefully fill it one day.

Like if they could somehow sign Chandler Stephenson to a good contract...you don't decline that.

THis is completely separate from the argument about how much cap you have to spend, what prices will be and how is best to allocate it....or whether you like any of the UFA centres or their likely prices...just philosophically...you improve the team the best you can and if a young kid emerges...that's bonus and you figure out how to alter the roster later.</div></div>

Its not really backwards when u consider many of the options are in their mid to late 30's or are at most 3c's for 2024 and 2025

Stephenson to me is to much of a gamble and we saw VGK basically just trade for his replacement rather than decide to extend him. Seems a bit odd. To me hes gonna get a deal teams will regret

He was great at 2.75m but considering how meh the C market is someone is gonna be stupid and overpay for him and say here is 6m

Rn the prospects are starting to make noise and it never hurts to leave a spot up for grabs. Its basically what BOS did and it kind of worked. As in the end its always good to keep all options open

Now if you can somehow convince Drai to leave EDM or a good candidate becomes available for trade **** all that lets go lul

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Juice</b></div><div>So...if I said the analytics guys are giving them the data but, when it's crunch time, Keefe ignores it and goes with his gut...fire him...it's simple.

Does that make me right just because I added "it's simple"?

Also...the inconsistencies on the power play pre-date Boucher...so we can keep going back and blame the assistant running special teams or...at some point...you need to look to the guy who's accountable for the staff and holding the players responsible, too.

I'm not hollering for him to be fired immediately...but I'm not glossing over his glaring shortcomings, either.</div></div>

Yep PP has been a on/off problem since the Matthews era started

It almost always seems to be getting cold around this time

No one knows why or how but it does. Now rn its not as bad as when we were in the Canadian division but its a bit concerning when u got Matthews, Nylander, and JT and the PP this month = 4.5%


We can say fire ABC but through 4 years Leafs have went through 3 PP coaches and it has not changed much

Malhotra, Carbery, and now Boucher

And what really highlights the problem currently is the fact the PK is struggling to. When both together struggle the problem is amplified. If the PK was at 80% people would be going well at least thats clicking but so far not the case

While Marner being out can be viewed as a factor if one guy makes a PP go from 4.5% to 50% even with the other big 3 were ****ed lul. Timmins coming back though does present an opportunity to try 11-7 to shelter him for mainly PP duty as thats where he shines and maybe he can help for a bit
