That's an interesting insight.  Thanks!

If Domi is on the wing, playing him with Matthews appears to elevate his value enormously, at no apparent cost to Matthews production, but pushing Marner and Nylander down to other lines whose productivity can be enhanced.  Overall the team gain seems high. On the other hand Nylander-Domi seems...

The stats suggest it isn't specifically Marner, it's that collectively these 4 guys aren't scoring enough.  We need 3 of them to be averaging over a ppg for the leafs to look good.  It is unfair that Marner is getting all the flak for the collective failure.  And because it is all of them, maybe...

The broader situation is that Draisaitl has a long track record of being one of the best point producers in the playoffs and Marner does not.  (A very quick Google search suggests 1.46ppg for Draisaitl, overproducing for his salary and relative to his regular season play vs 0.88ppg for Marner...

I have seen the double offer-sheet suggested by bloggers so many times over the years but never seen it happen.  Should have happened more during the flat cap.

There are a lot of dimensions in which one might want Biden to be more left wing.  The solution to that isn?t to install the hard-right sociopath.

Trump remains a candidate with a high floor of support and a very, very low ceiling.  His supreme court?s abortion decision has led to democrats winning just about every contested election since then. Women and the men who love them don?t want their lives endangered when they want to have...

No, not in the US.  It is infuriating.  The nhl essentially forces people to use illegal streams.

I don't know how to look this up (please tell me what site you use!) but I'd be interested to see where Marner ranks in overall offensive output (goals & assists) in the playoffs over the past 3-5 years and then factor in his stellar defense to understand his overall worth.  Looking only at...

What about Jarnkrok?  Something like Knies - Matthews - Domi McMann - Tavares - Marner Robertson/Holmberg - Jarnkrok - Nylander Dewar - Kampf - Holmberg/Reaves Basically Holmberg/Jarnkrok can rotate at center in the D zone.  Nylander could also take some faceoffs.

Every time I watch Jarnkrok play, I think he provides great versatility and value per dollar given his low salary.

I know next to nothing but a good 3rd liner needs to supply some offense and it doesn?t look like Minten has shown enough in junior.  I?m thinking he tops out as a good 4th line center.

This harkens back to the good old days of Antropov, X, and 1st

It seems they rose for the low-end guys and not the high-end guys (Roy, Skejei, for example)

I think the solution proposed in the video shows how much of a tax advantage the Southern states have. The solution requires the player, put away their money before taxes and he can?t use it. It?s an enormous advantage to have the liquidity of being able to use your money whenever you want to...

These players at these prices would have made the leafs better ?

How much space do they have left?  Realistic 3C, 2RHD, winger options?

It seems like 3C (or higher end D) is more important than Bertuzzi ? Henrique/Wennberg?

Right.  ? I got a guy out on the west coast, but he likely isn?t looking to move east and into Canada unless he can get 7+.?  With so many possible players fitting that description, I can?t imagine who is being referred to. Still, that discussion seems like clear tampering.

I am curious how you think this really works and how Mirtle would know the leafs are out on all top UFA defenders (and how even the leafs would know they are out).  It must be illegal to have an intermediary (such as an agent) negotiate on behalf of a player and team, no?  If they do it anyway...
