The Shanny plan was put in place what 6 years ago? They sold off disposable assets for picks and drafted high for three years got lucky with mathews kind of like we did with our franchise player to build around , EPLike the Leafs?? So you want to miss the playoffs for 10 of 11 seasons before winning the draft lottery and having a hometown superstar return home? Seems like a pretty solid blueprint, sign me up!

They have a good young Lhd , but a big hole on rhd kind of like us except we have Tanev and the got Zaitsev
They signed a 27 yr old franchise forward .
Shanny plan seems to have worked so far.
Couldn't agree more. The TO-center of the universe has anointed the Leafs the Cup champs in waiting. But there's a serious cap-crunch looming with Marner and Matthews, and the Tavares contract has the potential to be an albatross moving forward.They haven't won a playoff round yet, have a 3 point player signed to $7 million AAV, and have Marleau signed for $6 million past this season. Add in that Anderson isn't a goalie you bank a deep cup run on and they may have to shed significant depth to sign Matthews and Marner and they could easily end up a cautionary tale on counting your cups before you've won anything.
Great game by our prospects in Utica tnt
My god that was a sight for sore eyes. Look at the emotion by Lind and Dahlen. Those guys know they can do better. Hopefully we see more of this.
It's a close race between the Canucks' two over-age, right-shot, OHL d-men:
Matt Brassard: 38 gp -- 9/22/31 .79 pts/g (11th in OHL d-men scoring) (6', 190) (7th round pick, unsigned)
Mitch Eliot: 43 gp -- 10/24/34 .82 pts/g (5th in OHL d-men scoring) (6'3" 205) (FA signed to an ELC)
They may not win cups but they are like us a few years ago on top of the hockey world or at least a serious vontender and as I remember those times they were pretty funThey haven't won a playoff round yet, have a 3 point player signed to $7 million AAV, and have Marleau signed for $6 million past this season. Add in that Anderson isn't a goalie you bank a deep cup run on and they may have to shed significant depth to sign Matthews and Marner and they could easily end up a cautionary tale on counting your cups before you've won anything.
Got the height and weight matched up wrongly. Only wish Eliot was that big.

If they have cap problems they just sell off Willie and they still got a syrong team.
Marleau can be dumped gor picks if need be but if they got troubles it would be good trouble.
Having too much talent to fit under the cap is not neccessary a bad thing.
Why not both lindyThanks. Corrected.
Which one is most likely ever to get a game in the NHL, and why?
You're underrating Andersen. He is atleast a top 5 goalie in the league.They haven't won a playoff round yet, have a 3 point player signed to $7 million AAV, and have Marleau signed for $6 million past this season.

Yeah let's completely ignore Andersen strong performance in the 2016 & 2017 playoffs. He had his downs against Boston in 2018, but it sure didn't help playing behind a shitty defense.So was Cloutier in 03-04 and Luongo in 10-11, how did those stories end again? Also, remind me again how Andersen looked in the postseason compared to the regular season last year? The word disaster comes to mind. He's not a goalie who can elevate his play in the postseason, a problem that seems common to the Leafs entire roster. A problem common to the WCER era Canucks.

Obviously I'm talking about the LeafsNah, they aren't even close to 2011 good. They have too many issues on defense and in goal to make deep runs. They're the WCE era Canucks, fun but no threat to win the cup.

Dan Cloutier was never a top-15 goalie, much less top-5.
And Luongo took us 1 game from a Cup.
I'm going to have to see video of those 15 saves to be sure you're not exaggerating..WoW mikey Dipetro with the game of his life !! Massive shout-out win in a 15 save effort.
