  1. Articles like this do a great job of discrediting how talented Petey and Hughes are while missing the point of real problem holding the team back in the 2-3 years the team pushed hard to make the playoffs with bad free agent signings and cap dumps

    Captaincy

    To paraphrase hank had no idea what joe was up to that to me suggests hank is so focused the energy of the game wont elevate him. By all means not a bad trait but it would have been nice to see him take out the rat for his antics

    Captaincy

    I think what people are after is more passion and raw emotion i like this idea the stoic captain has been around for too long, lets see some emotion
  4. This isnt entirely true I have a partially torn ACL and because of this ive torn my meniscus twice in two separate incidents from when i tore my ACL when there is an injury in an area other areas function slightly overloaded. Overloading any part of the body is when more injuries happen. This is basically why when players get injured in an area they likely struggle with injuries around that area for their careers. in the case of MCL/ACL repair because of a kack of blood flow to the area it can take up to 2 years to fully heal to the point of high capacity sports for me to have my ACL repaired im looking at 6-8 months before returning to work (carpentry/framing)
  5. I agree let all the players know that when the team is up other role players who are hustling hard and contributing get more ice time
  6. This years cup finals was a disaster for the league https://www.sportsmediawatch.com/2023/06/stanley-cup-ratings-least-watched-game-five-29-years-golden-knights-panthers/ looking at viewership numbers indicates that traditional markets in the finals is better
  7. Im glad he isnt playing in da beauty league. while he is a smart guy and a pro I think it might give him an inflated sense of where he is at in his game by building false confidence hopefully this summer he can work on his shot, quickness and slimming down a bit
  8. When matthews is said to be getting close to max and Marner is making 12, William is a point a game in playoffs and the Leafs have a history pf over valuing their players why not try??
  9. Im not sure why they cant do cap structures in post tax dollars
  10. There’s been a lot of changes to the team over the last 2 seasons. Coaching staff, management team, coaching staff, core player moved out, new look D and young players looking to make the jump. Its time now to sit on what we have and evaluate where the strengths and weaknesses are. If there are moves to be made, trying to offload one of Beauvillier and Garland is obvious and even possibly moving Poolman to a team that needs to get to the floor or one that wants the LTIR relief Aside from that I think Myers needs to stay, he wont be relied on as top right side guy anymore and even pushing him down to 4th D. Im also really curious to see how he responds next year to having a full year with Tocchet and Foote to help him become a more consistent physical force. This year should be about this roster learning to play the new systems and style and potentially new roles as well as creating a definite identity. This will help any new players who join the roster to find out how they fit in
  11. 6 years ago that would have been two second round picks for a highly skilled centre that needs a bit more development
  12. i can get behind this if assets are spent on a dman spend them on a guy who can play the role of Tanev for Hughes
  13. I was actually looking forward to seeing how he plays in a more structured system Hopefully we can replace him with a 3 mil defender
  14. Yup and if you really look at their roster they are soon to be aging out PLD is young but I dont think hes young enough to weather a complete rebuild in 2-3 years and not just be a throwaway piece once the team is poised to run deep in 6-7 years
