As a Leafs fan, it’s hard to imagine anyone has more pressure on them than the Matthews/ Marner/ Tavares/ Nylander group, but there have to be others out there feeling the heat too.
Yes probably the Leafs or the Oilers in my opinion. It wasn’t that long ago that these two teams were talked about as having “young cores” but if they don’t win soon those cores might not exist at all.As a Leafs fan, it’s hard to imagine anyone has more pressure on them than the Matthews/ Marner/ Tavares/ Nylander group, but there have to be others out there feeling the heat too.
This and McDavid, as a player too.As a player I'd say Matthews
As a team I'd say Edmonton
Appreciate the call-out for the Jets, who often get overlooked. There was a lot of controversy this summer about whether Scheifele and Hellebuyck would re-sign, or if we'd enter a rebuild stage. We went all in. And even though we don't have the top-end players of the Oil or the Leafs, and the pressure those individual players must feel, we are looking at Chevy's legacy in play. He's been around for a long time, bet big with those contracts and at the TDL, and we'll see how after his long patient approach to building the team, how going all-in finally works out.In addition to the Leafs:
Rangers
Oilers
Hurricanes
Jets
In order IMO
Why does a guy who scores at a 1.53 ppg in the playoffs need to prove himself? One of the very few players with a higher ppg in the playoffs than in the regular season...This and McDavid, as a player too.
