NHL Tonight: Tavares and Matthews: Discussing t…:
How many experts judge young players on what they did prior to the NHL when they already have 2 seasons of NHL experience under their belt? Pretty much none. I'm baffled why you're even going this route. And I'm sorry but the facts are just the facts - Matthews had a superior PPG than Laine and showed more improvement than him from rookie to sophomore, I'm really not interested in your hypothetical garbage arguments to try and make Laine equal.
And continuing on with TavareS(it's not spelled with a Z) point, you should be taking into consideration the trickle-effect he is going to have on the lineup. I know that you know that the Jets saw a sizeable increase in goals when Stastny came to Winnipeg and a lot of it had to do with the trickle effect. Slotting in Stastny beside Laine gave the Jets high scoring 1st and 2nd lines and allowed Little to be used in an all-utility role which gave more favorable usage to the top two lines. Stastny leaving is why I don't believe the Jets can win the comparison versus Toronto, Tampa or Pittsburgh. If you load Laine and Scheifele together, the 2nd line is going to suffer. And plus what kind of improvement would it even make? Wheeler is already the Jets best offensive player who's scored 90 points on the 1st line.
And I'm sorry I'll have to admit my mistake. It wasn't you who predicted 55 goals 100 points for Laine, it was your good friend Psychodad. I mixed you two up again.
I find Marner rather overrated around these parts, he’s really just a guy who’s stats were inflated by a hot run on the PP. Gourde was a legitimately elite 5v5 scorer this season though he did shoot super high percentage, but even when his percentages regress he’s a well above average 5v5 scorer who is also a play driver and defensive difference maker.
Nylander is better than GourdeNylander and Gourde had the same amount of ES points this year. So maybe change your thing to Kuch>Marner and Nylander=Gourde. Or I mean Marner also only had 7 less ES points than Gourde.. And was dominant in the second half + playoffs. I don't think people realize this but Marner's line was playing against the Bergeron line in the playoffs (Chara-McAvoy against Matthews) and he still scored 9 points in 7 games with Plekanec as his center for 3 of the games.
Good god, enough with the victim complex.
Truth hurts eh bud?Good god, enough with posting the phrase victim complex every time you hear something you don't like
Truth hurts eh bud?
How is calling everyone who votes against the leafs "anti leaf" a logical issue? Did you ever stop to think, even just for a moment that maybe....MAYBE other people have different opinions?What, the truth that you guys yell victim complex whenever confronted with a logical issue so you don’t need to address it? nah.

What the hell are you talking about?whenever you want to address what he said, or what I said, go for it.
not holding my breath.
What the hell are you talking about?
I mean the anti Leaf will say Tampa but 3 30 goal centers says it's Toronto
what on earth are you babbling about? the guy asked a reasonable question and you start yelling victim complex.
Calling anyone who does not vote for the leafs "anti leaf" is a victim complex. Its that simple. I've seen this numerous times on these forums and its sad.your stupid "victim complex" meme
Where in there do you see a reasonable question?

There was no comparison. There was an assertion that anyone who wasn't swayed by 3 30 goal centres were "anti Leaf".where the 3 30 goal centres were being considered in the comparison?? not sure how you could ignore that, unless you had some other reason to. that was what the guy said. it's fairly impressive.
don't think HFBoards likes the pushback on the ol' victim trope. oh well.

During the games in Boston Bergeron was not assigned to Matthews?
[mod]
Tampa has the better forward group.
I could see Toronto being better maybe after this year but they have to prove themselves first
