Alex William and Michael Nylander all thrives with more minutes. Did ok with 10min and 13shifts. Got the first game out of his system.

Let’s hope he gets another one

Also glad to see this place hasn’t changed lol……”your sentence structure and punctuation aren’t up to par…..”

Rather have him in the lineup than Robertson.

McMann Tavares Marner
Knies Matthews Domi
A.Nylander Minten W.Nylander
Lorentz Kampf Dewer

I’d put Kampf between the brothers and re jig the 4th line

 

[The Shadow]

I don’t see anything as of now that adds value to a lineup. He’s just a body out there doing not much of anything

It's like choosing between a roundhouse kick to the face or a kick in the nuts. Neither player brings anything worthwhile.

Warm bodies for Pacioretty's return.

I was at the draft where he was selected (2016). The two Buffalo fans in front of me lost their marbles when Buffalo picked Nylander. They were furious. They wanted Chychrun. I actually told them not to worry because they selected a good player at 8.

 

[The Shadow]

If there ever was a chance to make a statement this is it. He’s 26. It’s put up or shut up.

Guy doesn’t got it

 

[Fogelhund]

It's been two games... That's far too short a sample to really make any conclusions, as far as what he can contribute to the Leafs. He's a guy, who at best we can hope for third line time on the ice, and third line offensive contributions. He's played most of his time with two prospects, who don't appear ready to contribute at the NHL level offensively yet.

What would we hope for? Mid 30 points... so a point every three games or so... and he's played two.

Now, his on ice expected goals for, is 84.9%... so the ice has been pretty slanted for us, when he's played... that's good. Zero hits though... playing for a job my guy, you aren't small... show something.

Now I'm on record saying, he really isn't a good enough player to worry about, and that I doubt he sticks.... but, he's getting a chance, and needs more than two games before we draw any conclusions on him. He'll require waivers to get sent down, so it's probably Grebenkin and Minten gets sent down, if Knies and Matthews are ready next game... unless of course McMann is out too..

Guy doesn’t got it

Agree. Get rid of him.

 

[Skullz]

He has been fine. Obviously he isn't Willy. Has dug some pucks out on the forecheck which I wasn't expecting.

Okay in a pinch, but not a full time NHL'er.
