He's fighting something alright....fighting being a 200' player. Hope he figures it out as well.He’s fighting something that’s for sure. Hope we can rest him up if he needs

he's on pace for 121 points..."hasn't played an elite game in a very long time"He has elite skill. He does not play an elite game and hasn't for a very long time. Fun to watch at times, VERY fun. sickening to watch at other times especially knowing what he is capable of.
I don't disregard his elite skill level and point production. He has 12 even strength goals I believe, could be wrong. He is a giveaway machine and has been forever. Someone with his talent, size, etc can be ao much better as a 200 footer. As most know, Im not a huge fan. But, Im not suggesting trading him. His game needs fixing in many ways and I wish we had a coach that would facilitate thathe's on pace for 121 points..."hasn't played an elite game in a very long time"
so? PPG don't count? why bring up this stat?I don't disregard his elite skill level and point production. He has 12 even strength goals I believe, could be wrong.

Of course they count. That is why I said I don't disregard his elite skill and point production. But if they count so do 12 ESG. If you believe he is everything you want/like in a player thats great. Many are starting to see past all of the points, hence all the negativity lately.so? PPG don't count? why bring up this stat?
he's a "giveaway machine" because he plays a ton of minutes and most of it with the puck on his stick looking to make plays...Puljujarvi, for example, doesn't give the puck away because he hardly plays and is terrified of carrying the puck
and you must have missed last night when late in game, when Ceci made a dumb pinch, Leon busted his ass back to prevent a potential breakaway pass (Nurse made a good play to prevent it from happening)
And yes, I did see the play you spoke of and loved the effort level. I was at a game a few weeks ago where he put forth a good effort. I enjoyed his game a ton that night. I wish he played that way regularly. Not always, but regularly, as no one is on all the time.so? PPG don't count? why bring up this stat?

Grab a dictionary and look up elite, see if it means the same as playing WELL.
The game is played with offense and defense. Do we have a very good defensive group, I say no. So why cough the puck up, throw blind passes. Even one of the coaches mentioned his low percentage passes ( coach is gone, blind passes are not). Watch him play with and without Connor. Usually night and day.still, if you think he's only playing at the top of his game 10% of the time how to you explain his historical production versus the rest of the league??
You'll live, some countries you are not allowed your own opinion. Embrace your freedom.I can't be the only one that is annoyed with this thread being the top 3 or 4 on the page. Enough already, he's not expendable! lol.
Drai expendable? dumbest shit I've ever read. He's certainly working through something right now and threads like these will go back to the bottom of the barrel where they belong.
Or better still, why hasn't a Moderator locked it yet!!?Drai expendable? dumbest shit I've ever read. He's certainly working through something right now and threads like these will go back to the bottom of the barrel where they belong.
All fair points, but "trading him"?Every season at this time we get the "he's playing through an injury" and can't be blamed, or he's sick, or he's overworked, or he's tired because he's a power forward and a big body. Oh, he makes terrible blind passes because his brain is tired too.
I haven't seen him play as poorly as the other seasons when he's gotten those excuses, but it gets old that we hear them literally every year around this time.
Seriously this shit just needs to go away. LOCK AND DELETE THIS f***ING BULLSHIT FOREVEROr better still, why hasn't a Moderator locked it yet!!?
it might be soon, I sent a very valid argument.Every season at this time we get the "he's playing through an injury" and can't be blamed, or he's sick, or he's overworked, or he's tired because he's a power forward and a big body. Oh, he makes terrible blind passes because his brain is tired too.

If you shutdown this thread because people don't want to read negatively against Leon you will need to shut down every individual thread regarding players.Freedom of speech is great but close this thread please lol
Drai is embedded into the fabric of this organization and should never be traded. His number will be in the rafters next to McDavid
And might as well shut down the GDTs with all of their “Drai is drunk, Drai is slow, Drai is lazy” comments.If you shutdown this thread because people don't want to read negatively against Leon you will need to shut down every individual thread regarding players.
Dont let this that sore in your mouth that you need to touch with your tongue just to see if it still hurts. Don't put your tongue there and it won't hurt.
Don't read this thread if it bugs you.
Fair point, every opinion is validIf you shutdown this thread because people don't want to read negatively against Leon you will need to shut down every individual thread regarding players.
