Doesn't feel like someone that he will or wants to be back? That is a bizarre way to answer that question.
It's Lamerillo, when has he ever tipped his hat on what he's going to do?

Just got beat by a team who loads up one line, forgive us for thinking it may work in Toronto.
Yeah I think they live and die by that line doing well so it'll be interesting to see how they can go toe to toe with Tampa's depth which is arguably better than ours.And the 3 games Toronto won that top line had 0 points. So the message is clear, you shut that line down you win. We just weren't able to do it for a 4th game. Otherwise we'd be getting ready to play Tampa tomorrow.
Brian Burke is stepping down in Calgary.
Shanny bringing him back
He's not?Let's see if our braintrust can figure out a way to get our best player on the number one powerplay.
He's not?
No. Auston Matthews is on the second unit. He's still our best player. Don't let one series fool you.
Auston Matthews has never been on the "#1 powerplay."
2 straight years the Kadri-Marner-Bozak-JVR unit out produced the Matthews-Nylander unit.
Its a pretty terrible UFA crop if we're looking to keep costs under 6M/yr. My first choice would be Willy to C, but I don't see it happening, so I expect Bozak back. Basically looks like Bozak or Riley Nash if you want a middle 6 C since Filppula hates Babs.
He is the answer to the question, "who is the worst forward on the team with no further chance of developing?"Too bad Babcock refused to play Leivo
He may have in part been an answer - if not for this year, for next
Matt Martin would like a word.He is the answer to the question, "who is the worst forward on the team with no further chance of developing?"
Well that's not really true. Komarov, Moore, and Martin all fit that betterHe is the answer to the question, "who is the worst forward on the team with no further chance of developing?"
True, he's a wild card and I have no idea what type of numbers he'd want.Thornton might be a good shorter term solution for about $6.25
Well of course he does , who doesn't want to play with the best player on the team ?Not that this means anything, but did you see how fast Matty said yes to playing with Marner lol
low talk low talk low talk YES I DO lol
True, he's a wild card and I have no idea what type of numbers he'd want.
Komarov would be offended, that's his defining characteristicMatt Martin would like a word.
Think he's at 8/yr now which scares me a bit.I just picked that, as he's almost always made about the same, just a little more than Marleau. Figured he might be up for that again.
We're going to have to disagree on that one. At the very least Martin brings a unique skill set.Matt Martin would like a word.
Obviously, when they get the first look and the most minutes. Babs could find an even better combo, with or without Matthews, but he's too stubborn to try something else.
Babs runs everything, even if he chooses to appoint someone to direct the PP.oh yes.
we could have the leagues best power play instead of 2nd best. For shame.
oh and for your information. Babcock does not run the powerplay. It's Hiller.
Babs runs everything, even if he chooses to appoint someone to direct the PP.
You have it right.okay. I just remember he saying that Hiller does PP, Smith is defense and PK
but if that is wrong, then i apologise and i stand corrected.
The minutes are evenly distributed on the PP ( less than a 10 sec interval between the two). The Marner unit was the number 1 unit in the entire league. If you're trying to find fault with the deployment it's that the 2nd unit was given too much ice. They were awful for a couple of months.Obviously, when they get the first look and the most minutes. Babs could find an even better combo, with or without Matthews, but he's too stubborn to try something else.
You're right that he's likely given someone else the duties to lead, but everything goes through him.okay. I just remember he saying that Hiller does PP, Smith is defense and PK
but if that is wrong, then i apologise and i stand corrected.
