  1. Now you are being disingenuous. You just made up things and attributed them to me. Only thing I said is about going into dirty areas. No one who follows the NHL thinks he does that. He plays on JT's wing vs oppositions top line every night. He's got 28 goals 56Pts. You seem to be taking this discussion as a debate and want to be right. I'm more into getting to know facts. If interested, Google Nylander and read what his coach and captain say about him. Don't worry about what I say. I have zero desire to discuss this topic with you anymore after you made up things i never said and attributed them to me. Good day. See you around.
  2. Not true. This is pretty common misconception on CDC. people make these posts without watching Leafs play more than once or twice all season. Other people read these posts on here and make more similar posts. He was benched for part of a game before Xmas. He's been lights out for most of season. Hockey Writers gave him come back player of the season award half way thru season. He doesn't go into the dirty areas along the boards but no one expects that from him. He's there to produce and he's on pace for about 40 goals. According to their captain Tavares and the head coach Keefe they both love the way Nylander is playing. Tavares talked about how driven Nylander is to get better and reach his ceiling. I even posted links with their comments couple of weeks ago, but people make these posts without knowing facts just because of anti Leaf bias. As I've said many times on cdc the problem with Leafs isn't 1 player or 1 Dman. Their whole team plays offensive hockey. None of the Young Stars play defense. Babs tried to get them to play D but failed. Keefe was supposed to play run and gun out score the opposition every night. But with half their D out long term to injury they struggled. And you have to play team defense to win in NHL.
  3. 3 of their top 5 D are out long term. If Hughes Tanev and Myers were out for months I doubt we make playoffs. And hell no we should't trade EP and Boeser if that happens. Their problem isn't about acquiring another Dman albeit a RH shutdown D would help, Its about playing team defense. Babs tried to make them play D but couldn't manage. Keefe was supposed to play more run and gun but injuries on D especially Rielly out for so long was devastating. They need to add some two way players with size and sandpaper. I think one of or maybe even both of Kapanen and Johnsson get traded in summer. Johnsson is also out long term with injury on top of 3 of their top 5 Dmen.
  4. Nylander is one of their best players this year. No no one in their right mind would trade him for a pick and prospect. He's only 23 yrs old and a ppg player on pace for 35 to 40 goals. Dubbas should be fired for even thinking about that trade. If they can get a top tier, great young Dman in return then they should consider it. No way they trade Nylander for a pick and prospect....he's been great this year. Mathews is not getting traded. Just like EP is not getting traded. Maybe he'll be traded for last year of his contract before his NMC kicks in if it looks like he's not re signing in Toronto. He's not going anywhere anytime soon..
  5. Told you guys we got the best player on tdl. 3 goals 5 Pts in 3 games for Toffoli.
  6. Man I must check the rookie scoring race 5 times a day, even on days neither Avs nor Canucks playing.
  7. VGK should never have signed Fluery to that 3 year extension last year. His current contract wasn't even up yet, had 1 year to go and they signed him to a 3 year 7mill per yr extension. Absolutely unnecessary. He has a history of going hot for a period of time then going to suck mode. There was absolutely no need for that value and term to keep him. Should have let him play his contract out and signed him last summer to a lower term and cap. I posted similar thoughts on CDC when he signed that 3 year extension. Now they're stuck with him 7 mill 2 more seasons after this. And they had to pay a significant price for an upgrade and pending UFA.
  8. Demko will be fine and Domingue will hold the fort during back to back games. Team will have to tighten up defensive game. Marky injury could be a blessing in disguise. Team will be playing it's best defensive hockey going into the playoffs.
  9. Canucks got the best player at tdl. Toffoli is best forward and will have the biggest, most positive impact on his new team.
  10. How could that be considered a rumor. 9.5 mill salary with multiple years left going to Toronto of all places for a 2.5 mill pending UFA. It's obviously someone trying to be funny or trolling.
  11. Better yet he re signs for 750k. Then Marky and Tofu follow his lead sign 1 mill per year 6 year extensions.
  12. RFA player becomes UFA if not qualified by June 25th. QO for Stecher is 2.35 mil... Is that confusing? Not sure why you quoted me. I thought I was just helping... if in opinion of his team Stecher is not worth 2.35 they don't qualify. He becomes UFA
  13. RFA becomes UFA if team holding his rights doesn't qualify him by June 25th. QO for Stecher is 2.35 mill for next year..
  14. Value for Tofu would have gone from Madden + 2nd to Madden + 1st today if JB had waited. Got exactly what he wanted and paid a reasonable price. Another home run trade if Tofu signs in summer. With Kreider it just seemed like he was going to sign extension with NYR. Even after reports of talks breaking down yesterday seemed like that was a deliberate leak as part of negotiations. They were haggling over the 7th year.
  15. Good last fight and good career for Felder. Hooker's a very good young fighter, I had him winning as well. Felder is a drama major and is attempting to expand his acting career. And he's a ufc analyst/announcer. He's got a lot going on other than just training and fighting.
