  13. 'Nothing off the table': Emotional Kyle Dubas is ready for change https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/nothing-off-the-table-emotional-kyle-dubas-is-ready-for-change/ Dubas pointed directly to the team that ousted the Leafs, the Florida Panthers, for providing the template of a blockbuster. Yes, the Cats won the Presidents’ Trophy in 2022, but that didn’t stop them from firing their Jack Adams finalist coach (Andrew Brunette) and trade two core franchise pieces (Jonathan Huberdeau and MacKenzie Weegar) to Calgary in an effort to become a better high-stakes club. “It’s a big move, but I don’t think it was hastily done,” Dubas said. “I would consider anything with our group here that would allow us a better chance to win the Stanley Cup. I would take nothing off the table at all. And I think everything would have to be considered with regards to anything to do with the Leafs.”

  15. PFF ranks Seahawks roster just outside the top 10 https://www.fieldgulls.com/2023/5/13/23720913/pff-ranks-seattle-seahawks-roster-just-outside-top-10 Biggest strength in 2023: Vertical Passing Geno Smith was the NFL’s premier deep passer in 2022, carrying a 99.2 passing grade on 20-plus yards throws. He made 32 big-time throws to just seven turnover-worthy plays on deep balls. Tyler Lockett, D.K. Metcalf and Marquise Goodwin all finished with 95.0-plus receiving grades on deep balls, as well. This was a big-play offense that now adds dynamic rookie Jaxon Smith-Njigba and is supplemented by a healthy Kenneth Walker III. This could be a really dangerous offense again in 2023 if Smith keeps the momentum going. Biggest weakness in 2023: Run Defense Most of Seattle’s poor efforts on defense came against run-heavy teams. Their defense was overmatched three times against the 49ers, as well as in games against the Raiders and Falcons. They even allowed 161 yards on the ground to the Buccaneers’ feeble attack. Reuniting with Bobby Wagner should be a massive boon to a front seven that was too often gashed last year. X-Factor for 2023: QB Geno Smith The Comeback Player of the Year had an excellent 2022, but there are signs that regression could be coming. It’s challenging to repeat outlier-level deep ball performance year over year. The Seahawks should lean more on the run game and easier throws if they want to improve on last season’s success. Smith will also have to be more consistent. His passing grade in Weeks 1-8 last season was 84.4, third best in the NFL, but that number dropped to 64.0 in his last 10 games. Rookie to watch: CB Devon Witherspoon The fifth pick in the draft creates a potentially fearsome duo with Tariq Woolen. Woolen led the league with six interceptions last year. Witherspoon brings rare aggression on the outside and fits seamlessly into a defense that generally operates with one high safety. Witherspoon’s excellence in man coverage was nearly unmatched in this draft class. Seattle could have the best pair of cornerbacks in football very soon. Over/Under 8.5 win total: Over The gap will widen between the haves and have-nots in the NFC West. Seattle had an excellent offseason. The rookie class and Bobby Wagner fit in seamlessly. They should secure four wins against the Cardinals and Rams. They don’t match up well with the 49ers and Geno Smith may regress a bit, but there’s enough talent here to post a winning record and contend for a wild-card berth.
