Player Discussion Tyler Toffoli

[KingsHockey24]

If what people are saying about Toffoli being crappy defensively, then no one should be expecting him to play along side Horvat while Boeser is out.
Should be picturing Toffoli along side Pettersson.

Keeps the Horvat line strong defensively while 6 is out.

Wait who said Toffoli was bad defensively?

He was a regular on the PK for a number of years.

 

[King'sPawn]

Toffoli is a decent sniper with good offensive instincts while being able to kill penalties.

His biggest issues are his skating and streakiness.

The streakiness would be forgiveable if he was just snakebitten during those times. With Toffoli, he just seems to settle in a way where he's not a very intense player or demonstrates accountability when he's playing poorly.

I think he'll do well in Vancouver, and renewed energy will get him producing quickly. But whomever signs him will often be wanting more.

 

[Little Psycho]

Good shot, can pk, overall good offensive awareness. He can be streaky and sometimes you barely notice him in the line up. One thing that would always worry me was his skating; if he gets caught he's screwed.

 

[M2Beezy]

legit did not know this til now

I didnt know that either, i had no idea Vasilevsky was playing THAT good these days. Thats a scary team there in Tampa this year

 

[BWJM]

Has there been an interview with Toffoli yet on his thoughts on the deal? Probably pretty busy with flying right out to Van and what not.

or toffoli with gaudette and roussel? or if we want to try to rekindle that 2014 magic,

miller petey boes
roussel horvat jake
pearson gaudette toffoli
whatever

if horvat can pull more than his weight that’s a third line that can work

 

[FreeMcdavid]

Good player to target.

Fantastic around the net and plays the bumper spot on the PP.

Very deceptive backhand as well.

Analytics look good!

Lets roll!

It was something i read multiple times in the initial reaction trade thread from people here 'assessing' the trade..

Glad to hear that was overblown.

You have to accept streakiness in anyone that is not 30+ goal scorer... If they were consistent, they would be elite.
being a 20-25 goal scorer by definition means a player won't score for 5-6-7 or 8 games at a time multiple times during the season.

He led the league in short handed goals in the 2014 season? 2015?

He's just fine.

Don't hate us for Schaller please.

He is the Boeser replacement.

Brock is out for a good while it seems.

 

[KingsHockey24]

He probably doesn't play more than 10 games for us.

Vilardi and JAD will be up after the deadline.

 

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

 

[M2Beezy]

Well at least he kinda looks like Boeser

I'm thinking Dave Taylor coming out of retirement on a PTO contract would be better than Schaller.

 

[Zarpan]

Last year and 2015/2016 seem to be outliers in terms of shooting percentage. Seems like he is good for around 20-25 goals and a similar amount of assists in a typical season.

 

[PG Canuck]

What I really like about Toffoli is he fires the puck a lot. It could translate to more production from him with perhaps better deployment/linemates.

Blake Coleman is apparently a far better player from what people are saying here.

 

[Angry Little Elf]

That’s a small face, folks. A real small face.

Essentially 1st unit PK vs 2nd unit PK (Coleman vs Toffoli).

 

[Bertuzzzi44]

Coleman vs Tofolli is a toss up imho. Coleman possibly slightly better but definitely not way better.

Cap hit's of each player (including that Coleman is cost controlled next season at a rate cheaper than Schaller) shifts it a fair bit in Coleman's favor from the Canucks POV.

welcome Tyler, your buddy Tanner is buying you a red bull just around the corner.

His wife works for the LA Dodgers , his agent said they won’t talk about an extension right now.

I wouldn’t be buying a Toffoli jersey anytime soon.

I can hang it next to my Derek Roy jersey!
