<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>EvanderKanesLawyer</b></div><div>Oh my god you just answered your own questions LMFAOO.

Do you not think the rise in productions from our players last year had anything to do with Hynes shifting his structure every year? It’s literally a coaching issue. What aren’t you getting?

I’ll hit you with some hard truth, because I think you need to hear it. I dont know if you know this, but the leafs aren’t the center of the universe. And because you said that, im willing to believe you’re either 16, or just slow. People only talk about your team because you’re terrible. Holding onto a cup win that you won 54 years ago. Haven’t won a round since 2004.

you can have your elite players and terrible prospect pool. matthews and marner can break all the records they want, but it means jack nothing if they hit the golf course the day after a first round exit.

Nobody is jealous of your team. In fact, you are quite literally the meme of the hockey world, and you’ve been a meme since 2013. Thats insane.

Boing boing boing. Keep bouncing on your players meat. We’ll come back in april when you’re golfing just like us 😭</div></div>

You are the best bud :tearsofjoy I’ll wait for the excuses this spring when you miss the playoffs - new mascot, cheerleaders changed their outfits, DJ changed the TayTay goal song :tearsofjoy
Keep on shining with these informed hockey takes :tearsofjoy

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>EvanderKanesLawyer</b></div><div>Guy was talking about me avoiding the facts but ignored everything I said, continuing to prove my point. Leaf fans are crazy.

You wanna speak about being average? Team hasn’t won a round since 2004😭</div></div>

Bud - I’ll try one more time to help you because as a fan of the most popular team in the league that plays in the centre of the hockey universe - we welcome new fans, even if they don’t understand the nuances of the nhl game fully.
Duchene has 304 goals in 937 career games; translates to ~ 26-27 goals per year. 40 goals last year was an outlier; he had 19 combined the two previous years.
Josi’s numbers are similar, career average is ~0.7 points per game, so 60-70 points more reasonable expectation (which is still excellent for a dman).
Preds are an average team with average players. By way of comparison, the Leafs are an elite team with elite players 😎.
Hope this helped 👍

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>EvanderKanesLawyer</b></div><div>It’s like leaf fans are purposely trying to look stupid for some reason.

So were going to act like Caufield wasnt having one of the worst seasons under Ducharme before St. Louis came in and played to his strengths (now on pace to score 30+ goals).

Hynes was a result of a lot of players in our forward group producing well last season, but has since then lost the room. And as a result, mix/matches the lines every other night to spark chemistry. It happens, coaches lose their voices and teams need new leadership. He’s been the coach since 2020.

Its the same reason 90% of preds fans on here will tell you he needs to he fired, same with poile. I’ve already told you, if leaf fans paid attention to other teams besides meat riding matthews, you’d be less ignorant.</div></div>

You are a piece of work. You spout ridiculous opinions like they’re facts. Get a grip bud - you’re entitled to your opinion but don’t mistake your opinion for fact.
Professional hockey players (like all athletes) are responsible for their own performance ; coaches can have an impact but it’s limited - blaming the coach is weak and an easy excuse but in this case it was the SAME coach :tearsofjoy . So he was a great coach last year when Jeannot shot 20% but terrible this year when the same player is shooting 6% :tearsofjoy

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Reason</b></div><div>Personally I think it’s unlikely Schenn is getting a 1st either. With that said, there have been a few insiders on Vancouver radio who have said they wouldn’t be shocked if the return was a late 1st. One of the insiders was Jeff Marek who does a podcast with Friedman so I’m sure he is well informed.</div></div>

Let’s just do some math - typically 5-6 1st rounders dealt at TDL every year (don’t have exact numbers, but seems about right)…this year is one of the deepest drafts in a long time plus we could have blue chip rentals available like Horvat, ROR, Kane, Bertuzzi, Toews, Tarasenko, Gavrikov, etc available but one of those 5-6 teams is going to obtain Luke Schenn with a 1st. I seriously doubt it

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RipNasty</b></div><div>He wasn't much of a scorer in Junior until his overage year and then hasn't been much of a scorer in the AHL. 1 okay stretch where he shot at 20% isn't at all sustainable. He's not who you think he is. He's a bottom 6 grinder who got lucky for a while.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>EvanderKanesLawyer</b></div><div>your takes are HORRENDOUS. Jeannot can easily be a 20+ goal scoring power forward under the right coach.</div></div>

The last refuse of the desperate - blame the coach 😂. Unless I am mistaken - Hynes has been coaching for Jeannot’s entire career with the Preds? So when he scored 24 in 81 (shoot 19.4%) last year but has scored 3 in 32 this year (shoot 6.4%) - was it because of the coach last year but it’s his fault this year 🧐?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Finn2016</b></div><div>Horvat is a player any team would want but most can’t obtain because of cap and teams that can afford him still rebuilding and he’s a luxury they’ll wait for till they’re almost there. Otherwise he’d be gone in a flash as normally happens
A great hockey player though</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NV94</b></div><div>Not according to this site. Only thing these brainiacs say is their teams won’t give up even a 1st for him because he’s a rental. Or their team will just sign him in the off-season so they won’t give up anything for him. No use in trading him at all</div></div>

I haven’t seen every Horvat trade response but I think most fans of other teams would love to have him, but not for the ridiculous price many canucks fans have proposed. Time will tell but consensus seems to be 1st + prospect + additional mid pick. Final 2 will depend on team trading for him, but as a Leafs fan (for the record I’d prefer ROR) I’d offer 1st + Minten or Hirvonen + 4th or 1st + Niemela.
Literally no chance I’d offer Sandin or Lilligren - just completely ridiculous to think any team would give up cost controlled top 4 D or top 6 forward for a rental. Canucks fans have to stay on planet earth

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>bogdown</b></div><div>Canucks would want Sandin or Niemala in a Horvat package. Everyone else (Robertson, Kerfoot, Hirvonen, Villenevue, Steeves) have little to no value to us. These trades even for a rental are steep and I think Canucks would look for something like:

To TOR:
Bo Horvat (50% retained)
2023 4th round draft pick or roster player

To VAN:
Rasmus Sandin
2023 1st round pick
2024 conditional pick (If Leafs make the second round)

Honestly I could see a hockey trade go down:

To TOR
Bo Horvat
2023 2nd rounder

To VAN
William Nylander</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JaredOfLondon</b></div><div>these are not even close for toronto, like not remotly close even.</div></div>

Those really are preposterous trade proposals, even by canuckle standards. Canucks mgmt can talk about getting a young d (nhl ready) but it ain’t going to happen for a rental. Only a team that could extend him but most of those teams can wait for FA, most (if not all) contending teams don’t have cap space to extend Bo.
