I've always considered myself relatively neutral on Marner. First game back in Toronto, he's going to get boo'd. And boo'd hard. I think/hope time will eventually heal wounds and we can someday recognize him as one of the best Leafs to ever put on the uniform, but it won't be anytime soon.

Those three little guys (and Domi) are also the easiest to push off the puck and prone to turnovers so calling them better puckholders than McMann is a little debatable I'd say. I get what you mean though, confidently holding onto the puck and making plays in the offensive zone is the name of...

It's tough for me to really judge Cowan too harshly for anything right now honestly. I always thought it made way more sense to keep him in the AHL to start the season and entertain a call-up later regardless of training camp performance. Despite his half-decent point totals so far I still think...

Well Robertson did get a shift in overtime before Cowan last night, however on the entire season Cowan has played a little over twice more than Robertson in OT. The team is now 7-8 in overtime. They have the most OT losses, but also tied for the most OT wins. 6 of their 7 overtime goals have...

They're not the biggest minutes obviously but McCabe can't keep playing PP2 like he did last night. Not with all the other responsibilities on his plate (23:01 5-on-5 minutes and 2:46 PK minutes last night). So yeah if OEL is going to miss even a few games a call-up feels necessary.

Woll HM McCabe

I don't think he was particularly noticeable tonight but still with his breakaway speed and shot (and size/strength) I don't get why McMann isn't going out in OT before any of Maccelli, Robertson, or Cowan.

This isn't loading. It's possible you have Pietrangelo in the regular LTIR slot, not the season-ending LTIR slot because that shows them about $4mil over the cap like you said. The new rules mean that would provide only about $3.8mil in relief instead of the full cap hit.

Knies has 4 points in his last 8 games, and went pointless in 6 of those games. Since December 1st he's been playing at a 50-point pace after putting up 20 points in his first 22 games. Obviously something's up there. And with the way so many of the wingers lower in the line-up (especially...

Well I would have rather traded a 1st and Minten last year for Andersson with retention than Carlo. And I'm sure the Leafs would have too but Calgary's owner is still being petty for no reason. Obviously now this is without an extra year on his deal, but at the very least he was going to net a...

Top centre, 2nd best winger, 2nd best defenceman. Marcus Johansson is also strangely having a career season at the age of 35 so that's not nothing either. Another thing to note about Minny is that their insane goaltending duo of Gustavsson and Wallstedt have come back to earth. Prior to January...

Using Puckpedia I can take everyone off the LTIR/IR (except Pietrangelo) and get a 22 or 23 man roster under the cap depending on who you demote.

By sending back Whitecloud and getting 50% of retention on Andersson the Golden Knights actually gained $475,000 in cap space here.

Just adding that it's his final season of waiver exemption.

He was on the ice for 1:16 at that point. Cowan was at 1:06. The issue isn't really their cardio, it's that they were still on the ice at all. Nobody is going to be able to pull off speed bursts at the end of those shifts with the way 3-on-3 goes. I remember specifically thinking they had an...

He's certainly having a down year but awful might be a stretch. He still leads all Devils defencemen in CF% at 54%, leads their top-6 defencemen in GF% and has the lowest GA/60, and has the highest xGF% on the team besides Bratt and Hughes. Offensively things have been bad but he's also had the...
