What do leafs fans hold onto besides hope that they'll somehow beat 3+ superior teams before running into cap hell?
I don’t hold onto much beyond enjoying my team ply.

Playing with McDavid will do that. I seem to recall him turning Patrick Maroon into a lethal offensive weapon
Good player but Mcdavid is a big part of his production. Overrated if you ask me. Matthews is underrated
LOL. Was that an option?
People who cling to the "never got 70 points" line are actually saying: " I am not able to identify his hockey talent and do not think production rate is connected to talent, just luck matters. Injuries = lack of talent. Therefore my inferior player is better. I know nothing about hockey and am a huge homer, please ignore my posts"
Why are you guys so obsessed with Matthews?
Lucic is finished as a top end player. Legs seem gone and his hands were always stoneHmmm I didn’t see Lucic become a “lethal offensive weapon” when paired with Mcdavid.
LOL, NOT-A-CHANCE, swap teams and linemates Marner would outscore Draisaitl by 20 points and actually play a little 2 way game to boot. there are 3 zones on the ice, Draisaitl plays hard in one of them.After Marner signs his extension you'll have 31 teams that would take Draisaitl over Marner.
Marner would be the best player on the flames aswell anyways.LOL, NOT-A-CHANCE, swap teams and linemates Marner would outscore Draisaitl by 20 points and actually play a little 2 way game to boot. there are 3 zones on the ice, Draisaitl plays hard in one of them.
It could be close in the future but Gaudreau is still a step above, Gaudreau is elite right now but I suspect Marner to be there soon enough, Draisaitl is too lazy to ever be eliteMarner would be the best player on the flames aswell anyways.

I am too lazy to dig up the highlight but he did float really bad on the Evander Kane goal. But Oilers are pretty messed up so maybe he would backcheck harder on a good team.
8 .5 million and under rated .Dumbest thread yet
Do you believe that?After Marner signs his extension you'll have 31 teams that would take Draisaitl over Marner. Not a diss on Marner, I've liked him since his Jr days but Draisaitl has the size and position advantage while putting up similar points. Then you add Marner's next contract which will be in the 11 million range and it's a no brainer. You can't really use the playing with Mcdavid argument because Tavares and Matthews are two of the best forwards in the league.
Look here, read this: Leon Draisaitl is a terrific Winger but I am far from convinced he's a #1 Centre. That's my main point. It's simple and I'm trying to be succinct. You want me to expound? or just hold my tongue and let an LD is great love-in to ensue? if that's what you want just keep that on the Oilers' boards.
I think a top end C, like some have claimed LD to be, should be able to make something happen on his own damned line. Right now you have McDavid and Leon crushing it together for what? 35% of a game? But what happens during the other 65%? Edmonton gets demolished. I believe McDavid is a beast and can with even middling Wingers be over a ppg and for the Oilers to be successful needs Leon to take some crappy wingers and eke out a 55-60pts until management can get them better. Until then Edmonton keeps losing and McD and LD devolve into a one-trick pony.
Don’t bother posting if you dont watch a player play. You take draisaitl off the team and the team gets worse, thus by having him on the team he makes the team better proving your point moot.Or maybe he is overrated?
Point producer but the Oilers are not better.
Yes, it is also a fact that does not tell us how talented he is.You honestly have no idea what you are talking about and it’s not clinging if I am stating a fact. Yes, it’s a fact that he’s never gotten above 70 points.
You can't call him a center period. He's absolutely abysmal centering his own line. He's a very very good winger who needs to play with a C who can drive the play.
He can't center his own line. And don't accuse me of not watching him because I've seen almost every game he's played in an Oilers jersey.
