I should have specified in that case it wasn't "the team". And I'm not really arguing that he was right to react the way he has. Or he's perceived to have reacted. He was done with how he was being treated. OR how he perceived he was treated. And he wanted out. I'm not sure why we need to...

That's great and all, but you missed my point. I said that it's not just one thing that they have a beef with. OR apparently have a beef with. That is all. And really, I'm not sure what Nylander's reaction to his situation has to do with Marner's reaction to the situation he's in.

It's not about 3000 years ago. Let's not pretend that it's one isolated incident that led to Marner leaving. Rightly or wrongly, it's been a constant stream of sh*t by the team. Which is fine. As mentioned above, they can treat every player however they'd like to treat them. But let's not...

Somebody in marketing may be looking for work.

If they can clean up the collapses by the pitching they'll have a real shot of being there at the end of the regular season.

Samsonov as a #3 goalie?

Maybe it goes back to Babcock throwing him under the bus as a rookie.

That seems like a crazy amount to pay? Fill me in here? He had a great season 2 years ago but seemed to return to normal this past season

I care a lot about the defence abilities of wingers. Especially considering his biggest defensive blunders are actually in the offensive zone. And of course Matthews scores at a higher rate. He's played far less with Domi than Marner.

I think Tavares starts in the exact same place. 2nd line C. I don't know that him and Laughton would work. I'm not even sure that Laughton is much more than a real good 4th liner. 13 goals in back 2 back seasons doesn't really scream "move me up the line up".

Only space I see Domi is on Matthews line. And if he doesn't work there, there's no real spot for him. He can't make up for Nylander's less than(although improved) defensive play. Can't carry a line. Like you, I was pleasantly surprised with him in the playoffs, but I just don't know that his...

After doing a bit of digging, looks like Atlanta is/was very interested.

why immediately following the draft? Why not 2 months ago when the team was eliminated?

Also comes with a bit of baggage having already gone through a contract dispute. 3 injuries over the last two seasons. I guess the only positive is it's the last year of his contract so if he struggles again, he won't be getting a raise.

Do we think Zegras is worth that much considering his last two injury plagued seasons? I mean, he's scored a couple neat goals and had a good rookie and sophmore season, but hasn't been much since then. 32 points in 57 games isnt' exactly screaming "I need that guy". Especially at 5.75m

Are there players on that Florida team that chose the Panthers over the Leafs? If not, I'm not sure what you're trying to get at.

Let's not try to pretend that the way Florida played is anything new for the NHL playoffs and successful teams. They didn't break any rules with the cap. They used a loophole that other teams have used in the past. We can't be upset because someone knows how to work the system to their...

You would think there would be..but there isn't. I think the original poster is pointing out that Marchand is willing to do those little things. Many aren't.

What's interesting is the NHL MVP not being named to the USA roster.

The thing with Tavares, is that we've been waiting for this massive drop off and it hasn't occurred. This year certainly has a higher shooting percentage, but the previous year he actually dipped below his average and still put up 29 goals. I'm not saying that the leafs hand him ridiculous $$...
