Thank you, it's been awhile since I checked up on him.
It's a shame he looks to have stalled a bit these last couple of years
Nylander is super talented but man, with his effort on the ice, he makes it hard to cheer for him. He is such a mercurial guy with is effort and consistency.
Jones is not the guy I would want in a Nylander trade, Salvin or Parayko have been the 2 guys that have been #1A and #1B on my trade list for a year. If we have to add that is fine with me.
He lead a KHL in scoring as a 24 year old, top 20 in the entire league.
Oh no! Another skilled player!
Oh no! More analytics!
Oh no! European speed, skill, play-making and a misplaced commitment to excellence instead of a commitment to the Don Cherry code and some rock 'em sock 'em slayer!
Oh no! Let's hope we lose tonight so that we can bring back toughness and stop this embarrassing speedy skill experiment and fight to have the NHL regress to pre - Post concussion syndrome aware days, and so Dubas gets fired and he takes his stupid analytics elsewhere! No! Enough,No to RW Ilya Mikheyev! No more mathematics!
Leafs might need to replace Kapanen for cap reasons.
Because of how much $$ we will have invested in so few at the top, I expect Leafs to be very aggressive finding and signing "free wallets" for cheap to compensate in terms of cap space and spending.
I say Montreal. They got rid of all their Russian players.So it was Ottawa. There is no way Uncle Eugene is spending the money for anyone to get on a flight to recruit some random Russian.
I'm sure Babs would love another skilled player to bury on the 4th line. He's probably bored sick of shafting Moore and Ennis by now, needs some fresh meat.
Nylander - Bracco
So is Jones...Jones is better than Rielly imo.Slavin and Parayko are both elite defenders.
On the other hand, it allows Nylander to shoot more with another puck mover on his line. Would be really interesting to see how these lines would look next year:Not set on these guys playing side by side. Too similar in play style. I think Bracco would be good on a line where he has to be the main guy carrying the puck through the neutral zone into the O-zone. He likes taking it outside at the blue similar to Nylander and looks pass first for the most part.
I would like Kadri to stay and then he mans that third line in between the wingers you had outlined and then Willie goes up with Matthews again

Hyman-Tavares-Marner
Bracco-Matthews-Nylander
Johnsson-Kadri-Moore
This can't be true he's 6'2 not 5'7 we don't sign players that are over 5'10.
