GDT: NHL Free Agent Frenzy 2020 - XI

Oh it moves the needle problem is it moves it the wrong way

disagree. He’s a capable 6-9 forward. He would provide depth while our main guys are out. Sign Hoffman and him. Add DeBrusk to it. This team is good looking.

Marchand — Bergeron — Pastrnak
Hoffman — Krejci — Smith
DeBrusk — Coyle — Kovalchuk
Frederic — Kuraly — Wagner
Senyshyn
Ritchie

I’m dealing Bjork in a package for a top 4 guy if available.

Hoffman wont be signed though. DeBrusk will be with Krejci and Bjork in his spot on the third line is more realistic.

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

If Chara doesn't turn or they break him and McAvoy up, do folks think McAvoy regressed? Progresses? Stays the same?

I think he easily progresses. Give him a more mobile partner and PP time. He will take a big next step.

Meh depends on the role. 3rd line 2PP, I don't think it "hurts" us, but its not an improvement. Someone like Studs could probably give similar prodcution and a better defensive game.

Kind of my thinking as well. Same with Carlo if he's paired with Grz. Now Carlo will have someone whose a better defender (and skater), allowing him to be a bit more aggressive in the o-zone.

I think Kovalchuk could give more than Studnicka right now. When he got to Montreal/Washington, he produced at a 20G, just under 50 point pace with those two teams.

Obviously system and who he’s playing with will factor. With Coyle on the third line, probably not giving you these numbers but with PP time (and time in the top 6 while guys get healthy) I could easily see 15-17G/40 points.

Agree to disagree. Kovy is the biggest cancer in the NHL imo. His (deteriorating) skills are irrelevant to me. Just don’t want him near our locker room

Thats quite a stretch. What is the reason for this?

That’s a good lineup but it’s not happening

He’s just a self centered jerk whose quit on teammates in multiple cities

Be sure to leave out Kovi's playoff heroics. Might skew that immense sample.

He would fit right in then.

 

[BB88]

Overall the Leafs did well but don’t know if the D and Goaltending is good but may not be good enough unless they move one of the big guns for an established d man.

It’s not elite but neither is Bostons

Torontos blueline right now is the best looking in Matthews era.
Muzzin and Brodie are 2 quality additions and address defensive weakness their core has had.

Muzzin& Bogo also add size to that group
They won’t be as easy to push around

 

[Mione134]

FWIW

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

Kind of my thinking as well. Same with Carlo if he's paired with Carlo. Now Carlo will have someone whose a better defender (and skater), allowing him to be a bit more aggressive in the o-zone.

I don't think Carlo is really a better skater than Carlo.

 

[ON3M4N]

Huh?

Huh?

"Same with Carlo if he's paired with Carlo. Now Carlo will have someone whose a better defender (and skater)"......

I like what the Leafs did. They are deep, tough and I hate to say this..built for PO hockey. Especially in a shortened season if the stars find their legs quickly.

Boston is in deep doo this year. Shortened season and possible Marchand and Pasta miss significant time. Along with the time to find their legs (they may not before too late)

Big gulp.

Haha missed that. Should have said grz

 

[The don godfather]

Donny isn't done no way. Book it.

 

[Mick Riddleton]

We are still not sure when the season will start. January is a tentative plan but it could be February.

 

[The don godfather]

Imagine if studnicka and zboril play like rookie of the year candidates . One can dream.

 

[tremha]

book this - he is done until the trade deadline unless by trade

The might not be such a far-fetched dream.

 

[TCB]

That's one you've should of ended with a " Book It " !

 

[Gator Mike]

Same guy, different accent. Kovalchuk at $1 million >>>>> Hoffman at $6 million
