Unless that one piece is winning the Norris, you’ve got a much higher opinion of that defense than I do.The Leafs are one piece away from being the favorites next season. Will be a lot of pressure on Freddie now

we've seen that you don't need a Norris defensemen to win the cup. If their offense is as good as people expect it to be, they should be easy favorites.Unless that one piece is winning the Norris, you’ve got a much higher opinion of that defense than I do.
So throw him out of the league forever. Fine with me. I guess my point is if you believe in second chances this is the only way it can be done. If he were American he would have got suspended for half the season and then gotten his job right back probably just like every NFL player. It’s disgusting

I think Rice being caught on camera changed his situation a littleLike Ray Rice?
I think with the #metoo environment it may be a little more difficult for him to get employed than it would have been a few years ago.
I don't think their defense is really that bad. It's not great, but with that offense and if Freddy got be an above average goalie, I think they can go far in the playoffs.I’m not saying you do need a Norris defenseman to win the Cup. I’m saying that the team defense in Toronto is so bad that THEY would need that Norris level defenseman to make up for it.
Yeah, that was kinda my point. Voynow publicly admitted in court exactly what he did. It’s not like the usual “allegedly” and “he said/she said“ thing. The media will have a field day with him. I simply don’t know what team is willing to take that PR hit.I think Rice being caught on camera changed his situation a little
But you’re absolutely right

The NFL shouldn't be anyone's model for anything. I believe anyone can earn a second chance, but you don't give it just because some time has passed. I DO know that domestic violence is absurdly, depressingly routine amongst Americans and aliens alike and I think the consequences should be dire, but they usually aren't. I'd say--and this is true--if we were to sign or acquire Voynov, that would be the end of my fandom. I'll know exactly what to think of the team that does bring him back, assuming he gets a visa.So throw him out of the league forever. Fine with me.

It depends what they get out of Marner and Nylander. If those two turn into 1st line wingers this season, I think their offense is probably right up there with those PIT teams.It’s pretty bad. Rielly is a great offensive Dman who is decent in his own end, he’s the only top pairing level guy they have. Hainsey is 100 years old and shouldn’t be playing higher than the third pairing. Gardiner is a top pairing talent with an AHL level brain who makes costly mistakes at crucial times. Zaitsev regressed massively last year and Dermott is promising but still raw and prone to mistakes.
Pittsburgh in 2017 is the only team the last decade plus who has won without a legitimate no 1 dman and they had 2 of the best 3 centre ice men to play the game post lockout as well as Kessel anchoring his own line. Toronto’s forwards are incredibly good but they’re yet to prove they are on the level of the Pens.
Yea, can't wait to see how this wheel turns as Barzal is from Vancouver. Maybe after his ELC + Bridge/RFA deal he does the same as canucks HAVE TO be going up by then.... man they're so f***ed.Isles will be in the Hughes sweepstakes for sure. I think you’ll see a full fire sale there eventually, with everything going except for Barzal
Poor Trotz, then again maybe its a retirement contract for him & he'll just man the Tank job & collect his paycheck. Coaches have been traded before though.Isles will be in the Hughes sweepstakes for sure. I think you’ll see a full fire sale there eventually, with everything going except for Barzal
I'd trade RC for him in a heartbeat. I'd even throw in a Rowney to sweeten the pot.Poor Trotz, then again maybe its a retirement contract for him & he'll just man the Tank job & collect his paycheck. Coaches have been traded before though.
I'd throw in some Fish Tacos as I would imagine they don't got legit tacos in Ottawa, plus a Mike Trout bobblehead doll.I'd trade RC for him in a heartbeat. I'd even throw in a Rowney to sweeten the pot.
I don't know. If you're going to throw in fish tacos then I'm going to have to have some Poutine coming back. I really want to try that some time. Almost sounds like a Canadian version of Animal Fries.I'd throw in some Fish Tacos as I would imagine they don't got legit tacos in Ottawa, plus a Mike Trout bobblehead doll.

I don`t think so, there was a considerable money difference IIRCI don't feel bad for Trotz. The Islanders still have a lot to work with in the top six and just added a bunch of depth forwards, plus a couple of guys that may take off this season, like Brock Nelson and Josh Ho-Sang. Even without Tavares they'll have four decent lines. This will be Trotz's first time coaching a team without a playoff caliber defense or all star level goaltending though unless I am mistaking. It's still kind of puzzling that he would leave the Caps like he did.
1.5M in Washington, 4M in New York. Pretty easy to understand.I don`t think so, there was a considerable money difference IIRC
Yeah that`s pretty understandable to say the least, even if we don`t take into account term1.5M in Washington, 4M in New York. Pretty easy to understand.
Yeah, you’d be out of your mind not to go somewhere else for almost 3 times the salary. I don’t care how bad that team is.1.5M in Washington, 4M in New York. Pretty easy to understand.
