Panthers are too heavy, intense and quick for either the leafs and bruins defense. Their transition game and their forecheck is aggressive And relentless, they feast on turnovers in all three zones. (Offensive, neutral and defensive)Yup. They match up horribly against the Panthers, who IMO should make it back to the finals.
Carter verhaeghe, Tyler Seguin, Dakota Joshua, mason marchment and Anton stralman were the kind of players the Leafs should have never traded in the 2010s. And Jared McCann should never have been sacrificed to protect Justin Holl during the Seattle expansion draft.That Grabner trade made no sense the day it was made. I actually thought Taylor Beck and Carter Verhaeghe were guys that didn't need to giveaway. Even though no one had any idea this woul happen for him, Verhaeghe had received a little Leivo/Brown style hype here on the boards, and Taylor Beck had a couple of goals in the Predators game leading up to Salute Gate.
Bad times.
I could see him choosing to leave on his own and seeking out another challenge (and a big bag). Dude is a high achiever and an educated lawyer, he's also accomplished everything in Tampa and they're going to need a big retool or rebuild very soon. It would have to be for the right opportunity of course, but I wouldn't rule it out. Not dissimilar to the Babs situation where he had done everything with Detroit and the international team and they were also clearly leaving their contention window.I'd be shocked if they did. He'll be there a long time I think, at least until they stop making the playoffs.
To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Marner's passing.
Carter Verhaeghe's stats line looks like he had a Freaky Friday body switch with Auston Matthews.

Well coached , big D who can skate. They are the favorite in the East right now you have to think.Florida is terrifying. Relentless attack and Bob looks so dialed in
Before the Tkachuk trade, they'd be in strip joints. What a culture change.Panthers now in flip flops sipping on pina coladas.
So much for the idea that Tampa would bruise and batter them in taking it to 7 games.

Could be the number 1 pick in a 2021 re-draft.Wyatt Jhonsson is a star(no pun) in the making
For his age he has done wonders. So mature for his age.
Really came out of no where. Good on Dallas to recognize that and let him play at some young age
Hope Tre learned a lot from that trade.Before the Tkachuk trade, they'd be in strip joints. What a culture change.
