Sujet: gardner does this make any sense
Thank you for your comments. Shorter term does make sense as well.
TBH, I am shocked that I have not read any rumors of MTL signing him.
IMO, it makes perfect sense, MTL needs LHD. Upon reflection, would he be better on 2nd pairing? He may be more effective not playing in Weber's shadow.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SammyT_51</b></div><div>Yup. A bit shorter would be more fair but Gardiner-Weber would be really good pairing!</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>I would suggest a lot shorter term.....maybe even one year since Gardiner doesn't seem to be signing with anyone else.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>bigguycom</b></div><div>Habs have deep pockets I'd do 5 years so Gardiner gets guaranteed money and Habs have a lower cap hit on the deal. Seems like there are concerns about health and longevity. He also stays reasonable close to TO which seems like a priority for him.</div></div>

Sujet: Chris Johnston says Nylander stays and Marner sets the Market
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LoganOllivier</b></div><div>You are all over the place and need to push away the noise.

1) If you look at Nylander beyond last seasons meager point totals you see a player who is a possession monster, creates offense and an elite level 5v5, is a top tier playmaker and creates a lot of turnovers in the neutral and offensive zones. He definitely could be a little more engaged in his zone but he isn't Kessel levels bad, he's sometimes gives guys too much cushion in the defensive zone.

2) Kapanen is the most replaceable player on the entire team. He's a right winger with big value in the minds of many, but in reality is a depth guy with great speed who I think could be a 30 goal scorer in the right scenario. Will it happen in TO? Maybe but if someone wanted to buy high on him thinking increased icetime would unlock a monster player, I'd move him in a heart beat. He gets so much love from Leaf fans and non Leaf fans alike and that is confounding to me. He had a hot start playing with Matthews and completely disappeared in the second half and playoffs. If he isn't on a break away he's almost useless. Just skates up the wing with speed takes a shot and skates back to his zone. The kid needs to work on holding the puck in the offensive zone.

3) Liljegren isn't a bust at all. In fact I think he's a terrific prospect who could make the team this year. I think too many heard or ready stuff about him being in the mold of Karlsson and that wasn't fair. He's a terrific skater and great puck carrier but isn't the best passer. What he did last year was take the pedal off his offensive game and focused on his defensive zone play and he was terrific defensively in the 2nd half and the playoffs playing top pair minutes for the Marlies at 20. That is an accomplishment most don't seem to see. He is developing into the perfect partner for Rielly, someone who can skate their way out of trouble and is very good positionally. He won't be top pair minutes right away in the NHL but I see him being more like a smaller Brett Pesce than Karlsson. May chip in with 30 points a year from time to time but always be good defensively.

4) People just need settle down. People are way too worried and consumed with periphery stuff. Marner's contract, trade ideas, cap space, speculation most is just people trying to get clicks to make money. Its too much.

Moral of the story, Marner is going to sign in TO, the team will have an interesting training camp and the Leafs will be battling Tampa for the presidents trophy as long as they don't face major injuries.</div></div>

Kapanen takes too many low risk shots. That is his major downfall. Besides that, The kid is great. Love his speed and attitude. Certainly a keeper for the leafs on a decent deal. I say we keep everyone and work out a deal with marner that works for both sides. This isn’t it. Dubas has his team set and the money aside for marner. There won’t be any stupid trades to overpay marner.

Sujet: Chris Johnston says Nylander stays and Marner sets the Market
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CBJ4CUP</b></div><div>Okay so every point you just made goes agaisnt everything people say about marner...

And there is no excuse to have as bad of a start as Nylander did.. if youre a true superstar or elite player you should be able to drive your line, and Nylander isnt that.. and id say playing with Kadri and Johnasson isnt a bad line...

And point is a good number 1 centre on his own, he has proved that in the playoffs and carried that over to this previous year.. he is also good defensively. But no that isnt a good comparison because point is way above of Nylander

And the reality of this convo is that is it is personal. You are a fan boy over this guy.. How many points do you think Wilson can score, because based on your standards he can be a 70 point guy too, if he played on the 1st pp and didnt have a cold stretch in his year...

When u look at any player in the league, you can say what if, what about that.. but reality is you cant live that life, or everyone would be elite</div></div>

I get it, Nylander sucks, everyone else is better, no one on TO is good and everyone who thinks a Leaf player has any talent is a fan boy. I assume you just loath the Leafs because they get so much attention. Well you talking about how much you hate everything about them is half the amount of attention the franchise gets. If you just ignored the Leafs instead of trying to troll their fans, you'd likely be a happier person.

Sujet: Risto
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>puckhead6130</b></div><div>Sabres have no need for another defensemen, you can keep Benning and we will take a fourth rounder instead. But I like the other two pieces.</div></div>
I agree that Buffalo does not need any more defensemen, but that is a decent offer and Benning could easily be flipped for a 4th IMO&gt;
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>bigguycom</b></div><div>Oilers don't need him, there is a need for wingers. I'm sure they would rather give Yamamoto a shot. Risto can quarterback a PP but other than that is a liability in his own end. Klefbom and Nurse will carry the PP until Bouchard steps in.</div></div>
You may be correct. Ristolainen is only 24, this is the age most defensemen start to excel.
I will not try to convince you of his value, because I really want Buffalo to keep him. IMO he has been over used and misused since becoming a Sabres. Up to this year he was the teams BEST defenseman (yup that is sad, thank you Tim Murray), playing on a very bad team that did not have any on ice leadership, much less a veteran defenseman to mentor him.
That said, I do not think Edmonton would be a good fit. He needs to go to a team that has a winning culture or stay with Buffalo and get better coaching.
