Injury Report: Trevor Moore goes to IR || Leafs recall Pierre Engvall

[LeafSadist]

All's well that's Engvall.

 

[EXTRAS]

What's the timeline for Moore's return?

 

[The Iceman]

I'm starting to really question our depth.

I thought by now long after Fletcher, JFJ, Quinn, Burke that we were on the right path of draft + develop mode.

I understand that Dubas is tight to the cap, but we've had significant names go down only to be replaced by who? The relegated 3rd/4th liner?

I heard an interesting stat last night: Dubas has been the GM for 2 1/2 years and he's already traded 2 x 1st round picks.

You did say draft and develop. The develop part does take some time. Dubas was promoted in May 2018. 18 months, not 30 months.

Can't expect him to have a bunch of mid-late round picks fast tracked to be ready to plug in the lineup in 18 months. That is how long he has been the boss.
Trevor Moore, Engvall and Sandin are 3 kids who have developed well in the last year however.

Interesting, I had the opposite thought last night with our developed 4th line outplaying the acquired third line. Couldn't help but think I want to see more of Engvall and Timo with less of Shore and Petan going forward

It'll also help when Marner and Moore are back - guys who were drafted/developed by the Leafs.

I'm sure most who follow the team are aware of what he's traded. I figured a guy who posts as much as you would have known this.

Engvall has to stay in the lineup. Bring Moore in, take Timashov out.

Math is sooooo hard. You keep trying this 2 1/2 year BS for Dubas.

It's one year and 28 games. Please, you were corrected before. If you require assistance, there is a whole board here for you.

And who replaced Crosby? It wasn't an all-star. Every team is in the same position when a significant name goes down.

Yikes.

He's doing that deliberately hoping people will forget. It's not the first or even the second time he's said that.

Actually Dubas is executing Shanahan's vision. So this goes back longer than Lou even.

If you're noticing a considerable difference in the PK then I'm all for it.

PS - Can he fight?

Im not sure id give him that type of credit.

Solid point. I stand corrected.

Mikheyev Matthews Nylander
Johnsson Tavares Marner
Kerfoot Spezza Kapanen
Engvall Goat Moore
Petan/Timashov

Move Hyman (2,250,000) + Shore (750,000) out. Bring 2-3m backup in.

Hyman plays with the most sandpaper of any of our forwards. Need more, not less of this.

 

[GobigorGohome]

Engvall has played well .
Has great wing span,some skill and can skate.
Works best along the wall.

 

[horner]

Hyman plays with the most sandpaper of any of our forwards. Need more, not less of this.

I didn't know if people have ever played the game before.

As you said you need some sand paper in our lineup

Korshkov I would like to see him in our lineup

Trade Johnson and Kappy

Build the f***ing d and get a quality backup

why would we trade away our best fore checker in Hyman??? guy works hard, earns his ice, much needed on this team.... seems even Keefe likes him played 20 min last night...

Because of the cap.

I dont mind Hyman at all, but with our cap situation theres no point extending Hyman for probably 3+ million when you have guys like Engvall, Moore, possibly Korshkov that can provide similar value to the team but make much less.
