Here's the thing. We don't improve unless Matthews & Marner step up. Shifting around minor pieces isn't going to do anything. I don't think any senile person was really blaming the bottom 6 for the Montreal series.
Nice.
Would like him at lower cap hit.
He needs to play like pre-injury simmonds
LOL!!! No other team would’ve given Simmonds ANYTHING aside from a PTO. He is a bum. He doesn’t scare anyone. He can’t skate or handle the puck.
He is a washed up SCRUB and shouldn’t be in the league!!
"but hes from Scarborough!"
he was pretty good this year, prior to the injury, people are just overreacting like we always do. He’s physical and isn’t bothered by playing that style, you need that. Blame Keefe for putting him together with Thornton to form the slowest line in the league...
I quite liked him in the Top 6, he was able to keep up and give JT some room to work down the stretch at times and before the injury
Simmons coming back is fine.
Replace Thorton, Engvall and Mikheyev with more hard-working, hard-nosed and energy players in the bottom 6.
