I look at every move from a "how does it effect Florida in 2019 standpoint"Now the Leafs are better but I thought Tavares goes to SJ.
Toronto still has a depth problem in the bottom six and the defense is very average.
But either way this sucks big time.
Getting into an arms race with teams is not a wise move. Plus, this sport is mostly about the whole team. Single players do not impact the wins and loses to that degree. Unpredictable where this is going to go, have to wait and see how teams play in the long run. That's why they play the games.
And yet, they didn't make the playoffs with him the previous season. It's a lot more that goes into it.Disagree, Taylor Hall alone proved a 90 Point Season, brings your Teams in the PO. Sure they have good Goalie and 2 other good lines and D-strengh. But without Hall NJD nevr would be able to reach PO.
Missing him also throw them out of the PO.
Leafs had a good core, now the add an elite Player into the excellent forwards.
EYYYY, we have some OGs showing up from the depths!The Tavares signing doesn't bother me at all.
Toronto is still extremely weak defensively and Andersen played above his normal abilities last season. He may still play well but their defense is still lacking.
They basically upgraded their strongest position. It's a really questionable move for the Leafs IMO. I get it JT is a great player but I liked what they were building and this seems to change a lot of the future of this build.
I don't really see how adding Tavares but losing JVR, Bozak and Komarov makes them that much more improved.
We have one, his name is Max Gildon!A top defenseman would make me happier.
The worst thing FLA could do is a knee-jerk reaction and overpaying for someone. You don't answer to a 1C hand picking to sign with his childhood team.
Besides it's one player. Yes, Tavares is a really good player, but how much does one player really help when the playoffs roll around? This move doesn't address their d-men problems, arguably it makes the problem worse since they're gonna have so much money tied up to their forwards.
Cant blow up our cap situation just to make theirs worse.Doesnt even need to be a big move.
Offersheeting Nylander would be a good cagey move in my opinion.

Gildon actually a decent looking prospect? I've never seen any of his play, maybe i'll start watching him.EYYYY, we have some OGs showing up from the depths!

I don't think we need to add anyone, we have more than enough prospects that SHOULD develop
Much better than decent I'd say, and to say it about a d-man...Inamoto too for that matter. Like I said in the other thread, Gildon reminds me of Brian Leetch when he skates.Gildon actually a decent looking prospect? I've never seen any of his play, maybe i'll start watching him.
Sounds good to me.Much better than decent I'd say, and to say it about a d-man...Inamoto too for that matter. Like I said in the other thread, Gildon reminds me of Brian Leetch when he skates.
