Beyond how bad the Leafs can look defensively I don't get how ineffective TO's PP can be, those 5 forwards should at least be able to generate a shot every PP per game?

AS always even the seemingly impossible happens, it's probably far more realistic to continue to expect TO to again nibble at the edges, see the people everywhere in Leafland figure more brawn like Lyubushkin is all that's needed for TO to progress, talent be dammed even tho it's obvious thru...

Rielly and Brodie good d-men, really? The d summary from last night. Kampf is really good, defensively for TO, huh? Also in this summary. https://theleafsnation.com/news/samsonov-was-solid-5v5-but-the-leafs-top-pairing-struggled-in-the-shootout-loss-to-the-st-louis-blues The commentators...

He was also playing with Willie, Austin and Mitch in TO so he went from a 15 goal scorer with an added 6 empty netters to what he is now, quite a feat. I didn't see anything of what he is today in his first 2/3 years in TO, his last year here I wanted him to be TO's 3rd line center because he...

With Sandin back it looks like Timmins will sit, could a healthy d corp enable TO to trade Brodie, freeing up significant Cap space to use to upgrade the forwards. I love the idea of TO using Cap space to add P. Kane and Horvat, it would definitely be an all in situation.

Wow, what does this mean Matthews is overpaid or Zack under? We watched Zack getting better year after year with TO and it looks like his growth is continuing, good for him.

Last year, TO had Engvall with his best offensive year, Mikeyev also best offensive year, Kampf as well but come playoff time TO's entire bottom 6 scored 3 goals, 2 of which were empty netters by Mikheyev. I love Engvall, he's a really good 3rd liner but counting on him for offense during the...

I believe it was 2 years ago, TO played the Yotes, they had 8 or 10 injuries and TO lost. For me games against these types of teams are litmus tests of TO's potential, that same year TO played another bottom 3 team and lost then played Pitts. without Crosby, Malkin and Letang and lost 6 to 0...

I thought Malgin wasn't 2nd line suitable, probably not even 3rd line but on the 4th with anyone with talent he might be an asset, he would never be a line driver. Trevor Mooreish like, we've seen a lot of players who look bad on the Leafs but are doing well on other teams. TO has no offensive...

Kerfoot , overpaid because he's underproducing, TO should get rid of him, right? OK, so who/what should TO be looking for back if TO could possibly move him, how dum are other GMs? How about trading for Garland in Vanc., he'd be an upgrade for sure, he's versatile can play LW/RW, scored 52...

Kerfoot and Robertson shouldn't be in the top 6, Boston won for years loading up the 1st line, TO might have to do the same. Maybe try Ny/AM/MM           Bunt/JT/Malgin           Robertson/Eng/Jarn           Steeves/Kampf/Reese Get rid of the Swizz armyknife, should be a considerable lineup to...

Lily on the 1st PP might be something that should be tried, his 2 goals against Vegas from a distance would be an extra ingredient making the PP even stronger instead of the 10th best PP it is now. Sandin/Rielly are like the same types of PP d-men, both don't have a decent shot. I also liked...

https://editorinleaf.com/2022/11/08/toronto-maple-leafs-aube-kubel-2/ Who has played better this year than expected, Kerfoot, contract year syndrome, he has been far more involved/noticeable, good for him and the Leafs, he's actually playing up to his contract but like all the players, can he...

That's a beginning of righting a very poor off season of signing bodies rather than looking for actual hockey players. Now TO needs to remove Jarnkrok, Reese, Malgin and Mete, moving Murray wouldn't be a bad idea, adding a chronically injured goalie isn't a masterstrock unless he costs no assets...

An interesting statement from someone who recently said that Kadri's great season really wasn't because offensive stats had basically gone up universally across the board. Kerfoot's game is vanilla, he doesn't win any puck battles, he doesn't appear to even try to win, his only accomplishment...

Not exactly sure what you're saying?

He's loved by management, by the coaches but outside of a decent playoff in 2021 and 50 points last year, is he the type of player that TO can progress with? He's a maintenance player, TO can use him to do well during the regular season but really he offers little in the playoffs and not mine...

Do any of these ratings sites have cred? +/- has been crapped on for years but it is straight forward, the rest, who are these people, why are so many so willing to to discount obvious nonbias stats and embrace such true crap?  ...
