Late hits are not. And when they're combined, there is greater potential for injury. Sorry, I think the game of hockey needs to evolve from its Neanderthalic roots.

Usually not, at least in the regular season. That call on Kadri was not a good one.

If Leafs fans are anything like the Jets fans, I bet there is a sizable minority there that would draw conclusions from Leafs losing both games since Nylander coming back.

Andersen needs to stand on his head for the Leafs to win with that D, none of them know how to play D, they cheat consistently up ice for points, and get caught out of position constantly

Quelle surprise.
I suspect that signing will handcuff the Leafs for the next 3 seasons.
I don't think that. I expect he's traded next year shortly after his bonus kicks in for some defensive help. A large portion of the salary (year 1 + bonus) is consumed by the wealthy Leafs organization and a valuable asset is moved to another team (that now has an attractive salary for a very good winger) for something they need more than another scorer. It would also free up cap space to sign Marner and Matthews.

Dubas said as long as he is GM Nylander is not getting traded, so fired it is.
I don't really disagree with you on the value aspect. I just think that they structured the contract with trade in mind. As to what Dubas said I take it about as seriously as Trouba saying he's happy in Winnipeg. These people are neither dumb nor foolish. They say what's necessary and recant when necessary. I'm certain after Trouba is gone he'll still say nice things about Winnipeg and the fans here. I'll likely believe most of it but it won't change the fact he wants out of here for whatever his reasons are. And really, Dubas will do the same thing, praising Nylander and talking about how hard it was to part ways with him, how he wished he would be a Leaf for life. It's just business.

I really miss John Ferguson junior as the leafs gm. He brought a certain je ne sais quoi.

Saw preds in Vancouver a few nights back. Lots of injuries right now for preds. Top 4 or 5 players are out.Tolvannen was unnoticeable.
That said Peddersson is something special. He had a very nice penalty shot goal.
If he looks mediocre for the rest of the season, that cap hit of almost $7 million might be hard to trade even though the cash cost would be lower.
Nylander needs to play well to make himself tradeable. By all accounts, he doesnt want to be traded. If he's smart and unprofessional he would tank his value this season so Dubas can't trade him.

Andersen has kept them afloat for a while now. He's overperforming his xG numbers by a dozen goals or so, which puts him right up there with Rinne and Gibson.

It’s going to take him a while to get up to game speed.
