Around the League | Round 1: FIGHT!

[SopelFanThe3rd]

Marner never impresses me.

 

[EpochLink]

toronto was obviously cooked after putting that major emphasis on "toughness" last offseason and it's really hard to see that franchise improving next year

Bertuzzi plays like his uncle Todd, trying to win battles instead of winning wars.
Demi plays like his dad, stupid costly penalties.
Reaves sucks, just a waste of f***ing space.

Despite scoring tonight, Marner f***ing sucks in the playoffs.
Absolute ass.

 

[SopelFanThe3rd]

Their core 4 are all soft scoring forwards. That doesn't make sense.

Core 4 should have a bit of everything.

Miller, Hughes, Demko, Pettersson (tho I'm not sold on Elias honestly)

Who would you consider a Core 4 on each team?

 

[canuckking1]

36 year old Marchand really outplaying Prime Marner and Matthews

 

[SopelFanThe3rd]

Leafs:
Matthews, Nylander, Marner, Tavares

Oilers:
McDavid, Draisaitl, Hyman, Nurse?

Avs:
MacKinnon, Makar, Rantanen, ???

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

Dallas looks good so far. Completely outplaying Vegas.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Say it every year but Leafs need some major changes.

Marner should go.

But probably Tavares.

Problem is who is going to take him and for what.

Get actual defense and goaltending for a change.

Otherwise they are going nowhere again.

 

[SopelFanThe3rd]

Bruins:
Pastrnak, Marchand, Swayman, McAvoy ?

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Leafs:
Matthews, Nylander, Marner, Tavares

Oilers:
McDavid, Draisaitl, Hyman, Nurse?

Avs:
MacKinnon, Makar, Rantanen, ???

Toews.

 

[SopelFanThe3rd]

Stars:
Robertson, Heiskanen, Hintz, Oettinger? Johnston?

 

[bh53]

Leafs:
Matthews, Nylander, Marner, Tavares

Oilers:
McDavid, Draisaitl, Hyman, Nurse?

Avs:
MacKinnon, Makar, Rantanen, ???

Bouchard instead of Nurse I think and I'd say either Nichkushkin or Toews for Avs

 

[Flik]

They are all bozos lol

 

[VanillaCoke]

Toews.

Nichuskin, soon to be sorokin

 

[SopelFanThe3rd]

Toews.

I forgot the Avs have Landeskog too. Imagine how stacked they'd be if he was healthy.

Bouchard instead of Nurse I think and I'd say either Nichkushkin or Toews for Avs

I dunno if I'd consider Nichushkin a core player for them

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Nichuskin, soon to be sorokin

Personally think Toews is more important to them than Nuke.

He would be 5th.

 

[SopelFanThe3rd]

Florida:
Tkachuk, Reinhart, Barkov, Ekblad,

 

[VanillaCoke]

Florida:
Tkachuk, Reinhart, Barkov, Ekblad,

Def Forsling.

Personally think Toews is more important to them than Nuke.

He would be 5th.

Opposite for me. Nich contributes more to them winning games, and i think if it came down to one or the other toews gets moved out first. Not that i think either is really going anywhere.

 

[SopelFanThe3rd]

Vegas:
Stone, Marchessault, Pietrangelo, Eichel

Def Forsling.

I was torn between him and Ekblad

 

[VibinCanuck]

How Keefe's kept his job this long is beyond my comprehension. He's never been very good but always got a free pass...

Should change very soon.

 

[VanillaCoke]

Vegas:
Stone, Marchessault, Pietrangelo, Eichel


I was torn between him and Ekblad

Shouldn't have been, its been Forsling for years.
If anything being torn between Forsling and montour is closer, but its definitely Forsling. Idk if either montour or ekblad are there past their current contracts.

 

[SillyRabbit]

Ekholm is more important than Bouchard IMO.

 

[geebster]

I wouldnt trade JT Miller for Matthews in one for one. Crazy to say but I 100% wouldnt do it. The cost difference and HEART difference would make it a total nonstarter for me.

Thats just silly

 

[Bubbles]

Yeah, I had mild food poisoning 2 days ago and was messed up for a day, not fun.

I had hardcore food poisoning one time and I ended up in ER for a night.

I ate some questionable sushi once and I was out for 2 days. I thought I was dying, I could only drink water and nothing else.

 

[geebster]

Thats just silly

Just being honest, seeing Matthews be so ineffective in the playoffs and just not even trying to forecheck when they need it... yeah I'd rather have JT Miller plus the 5.25 million cap space.

Regular season Matthews >>> JT. But I've watched all of this Toronto series and ...yeah
