    Changes and Expectations

    I see there's a hard core entitled few that think they own this forum, I don't mind being ignored by them, I don't know why only cheerleaders are allowed on this forum by these challenged individuals and since I do get messages from others that feel that their whining is simply bullying, I think...

    Changes and Expectations

    I didn't like what TO did last year during the summer, it seemed like TO was trying to become a Nashville clone, all defense, and was expecting that 5 players only were going to provide all of the offense, TO's regular season was again great, with the 5 player strategy, but the lack of offensive...

    2023 Training Camp Thread

    Anyone care to guess which forward has pretty well been compromised going into just about every playoff since he's become a Leaf, I wonder if useless things like shot blocking might be a significant factor in the constant injury problems. As far as spreading out the talent on 3 separate lines...

    2023 Training Camp Thread

    Nylander, JT, Marner and Matthews on 3 separate lines means less icetime for at least one of these players which isn't a solution to anything, the idea of Austin and/or Nylander Pking is a great idea. No shot blocking, that's probably the least effective way to PK.

    2023 Draft Discussion

    I was hoping BT's drafting with Calgary was better than TO's since 2017(inclusive) so I checked, no such luck as a matter of fact TO's record is without doubt better, lovely.

    The Signings

    Matt Dumba signed with Arizona for $3.9 mil. for 1 year, I wonder if he'd have signed for even less to possibly be on a Cup contender? I think he would be viewed as better than Klingberg overall, he's had decent stats and plays physically, he has been compared to Phanny but he's smaller. Let's...

    The Signings

    Sheldon Keefe has been resigned, this was a toughie to understand, TO does well/great in the regular season, come playoff time not so great. Resigning Keefe suggests to me that the powers that be are satisfied, this surprises me because of the potential gate revenue that could be realized if TO...

    Ranking Prospects 2023-24

    I'm pretty sure there's no argument here, I've said that if TO saw a future in SDA they would/should do their best to keep him here in North America to properly groom him, since his future doesn't look so bright he's signing with the highest bidder which TO isn't because TO doesn't see an NHL...

    Ranking Prospects 2023-24

    Not sure where AHL salaries are published but TO like most teams will pay marginal NHL/AHL players a minimum NHL salary then park them in the A for injury insurance, I would think that if a prospect is a true prospect TO would offer them enough money to stay in North America. A true prospect...

    The Signings

    Bertuzzi-$5.5 mil. per for 1 year- This is possibly a great signing, he has the right qualities to help TO considerably in the playoffs however his ability to remain healthy has been an issue his entire NHL career. 30 points, last year, in 50 games were his lowest PPG total in 4 years, his type...

    Ranking Prospects 2023-24

    Is 2 years in the KHL better or even good at all for him, a lot of prospects(Leafs and others) play a very small amount of TOI in the KHL mostly because KHL teams don't feel they need to develop potential NHLers over their own/undrafted and even less talented players. I wonder if the KHL is...

    What are they worth?

    My understanding from the media is that TO is observing total silence on any Leaf issue, I haven't read the article you've referred to but there is little to no credible info about the Leafs, especially in regards to contract specifics. Servalli is a credible source I'd say but I'd like to know...

    What are they worth?

    And he never will when he's the top paid player in the NHL. Maybe Maroon shouldn't be the highest paid player in the NHL but there are a lot of highly paid players that probably considered the impact of their contract demands that allowed him to be on their teams. I guess that's not totally...

    What are they worth?

    So what you're saying, I assume, is that Matthews can go his entire career, never win a Cup, not even come close but still deserves to be considered a great all situations goal scorer and be able to dictate what his contracts should be? TO be dammed, right now he can ask for $16 mil. per and...

    What are they worth?

    I agree TO has a core 5, Rielly being another member of this select group. The team in '67 didn't have a core 4/5, what they had was depth and a willingness to compete which I feel TO's core 4/5 is missing. What you're asking for requires $s and because the core 4/5 is so well paid there isn't...

    What are they worth?

    Strange as it might seem I'm a Leaf fan, when and if I watch other games I look for how other players compare in relation to my Leafs. Matthews is a great regular season goal scorer but I have always preferred Eichel's game in the regular season to Matthews. For me Matthews should be a winger...
