As if a Columbus fan would even know the answer to that question...What's the type of captain you win a cup with?

He is exactly like Nick Foligno. A bit overrated, but well liked by teammates and fans. Not the captain you win a cup with though.

Good post. Nice to see " internet facts" shown for what they are.I don't know if you made this up or if you actually listen to the dumbest "analysts" out there, but just looking at his eliteprospects page, Lee has gone PPG in the following years at the level listed:
06-07 High School (41 in 31)
07-08 High School (43 in 25)
08-09 High School (66 in 25)
08-09 HS Elite League (29 in 18)
09-10 USHL (66 in 59)
10-11 NCAA (44 in 44)
12-13 NHL (2 in 2, not exactly a huge sample size)
14-15 AHL (5 in 5, again only a brief stint)
16-17 World Championships (8 in 8)
and now so far in 18-19 NHL (11 in 10)
He also would have led the Leafs in goals last year.
He also just turned 28 and had the best season of his career so "exiting his scoring prime" is a bold statement.
And all of this ignores that none of what you and the Toronto blowhard media have "deemed noteworthy" has anything to do with whether he'd make a good captain.
It's a sunk cost, so really how much he makes is irrelevant. But he's certainly still an NHL caliber player who deserves to play. He really hasn't been too bad at all this season.5 yrs left on a $5.5m per contract.
Too much term and dollars left to simply bench Ladd.
Gotta try to get as much contribution as possible out of him.
Fake News
Laughs fans on HFboards told me Lee is a product of Tavares even after Isles fans proved that JT only assisted on a minority of his goals last year.
I thought this guy was great before it was cool
They are very different players
Both are good, I don’t see why they have to be compared just because Tavares used to be captain.
It still isn't cool, though it should be. Only hipsters got an Anders Lee poster on their bedroom wall.
bu bu but top analysts said it's fact he hasnt been a ppg playerI don't know if you made this up or if you actually listen to the dumbest "analysts" out there, but just looking at his eliteprospects page, Lee has gone PPG in the following years at the level listed:

1 degree of separation from the Leafs. Naturally.Sure is a lot of Tavares talk in this Anders Lee thread...

The only thing I ask of Lee is that he doesn't turn out to be a fake or a traitorous snake.

I'm convinced Shannon Hogan also has a Lee poster on her wall.

Seems to be other fans or Isles fans bringing up JT more than Leaf fans.
Haha. We did used to joke at how they were secretly dating.
I just pray his contract extension is digestible, more in term rather than dollars. I'd be thrilled if it's 5 years, but I don't think that's realistic. Might be more in line with Kane's 7 year term and that scares me.
As the new C, he is a great choice. He's a legit power forward, a dying breed. As long as his body holds together, he's going to score a ton of greasy goals. He is built like Thor so maybe he doesn't decline off a cliff after 30.
If I were Isles fans, I'd look at what Hornqvist re-signed with the Pens for. That should be roughly the ideal price and term for what that type of player is worth.
We should probably wait to see the numbers a little later in the season. NYI has the worst High Danger Chances for in the league, but they are very opportunistic. We aren't sure yet how that will stabilize.
Hey, thanks for the snek! He's awesome

Tavares is going to get **** (rightfully so) from islander fans until he retires so best to learn how to deal with it.
I would be over the moon with 5-years and $5.3M, but I think Lee's camp will point to JVR and Kane's $7M as the target.
I won't get into it, but he's worth it
