How important is goaltending and defense - don't ask the Leafs.
I miss first two years of Laine. I still assert he was never the same after that Jake McCabe hit
It was devastating but it was a clean hit. I don't think many players like it when they hurt someone like that.Yeah, what a hit. Scrambled his brains a bit for sure.
Good question to post on the leafs board.How important is goaltending and defense - don't ask the Leafs.

this was basically what was being said around the last couple years of his tenure here, so i think it's kind of nice to see it come to fruition for him. i dont think he ever hated WPG tbh.Trouba requesting a trade makes absolute sense after watching this. Take back the hate I had for him at the time

iirc his wife is an australian born american, and (at least at the time) there were so many hurdles for her to do her education here.
I'm a bit surprised by the ordering of a couple of the the Jets prospects. Perfetti at # 9 seems about right, but Lambert at #24 is a huge jump for a kid just drafted at #30. McGoarty and Lucius at #44 and 45 seem about right. Heinola at #67 seems low to me.Top 75 NHL Affiliated Skater Prospects
Owen Power, Matty Beniers and Mason McTavish lead the NHL’s next crop of young talent.www.dailyfaceoff.com
Interesting list. Jets have 4 players in the top 50, 5 total.
I know a lot of people don't, but I still miss our little sniper boy
He definitely brought excitement and entertainment value. Still not sure about contributing to wins.
yup. and our PP efficiency with laine from 17-18 and 18-19 was elite. i bet if he was pp1 for all of his rookie year wed have made the POs too,The '17-'18 season run was magical, his 44 goals were exciting af.
Sounds like a fun year upcoming in Philly.

Edmonton appears to be all power play and nothing else
Man, where would they be if they hadn’t lucked into McDavid. In the Bedard sweepstakes?
It’s embarrassing they haven’t been able to built a decent team around him in all these years.
Sure wish we had Laine, Roslovic & Trouba instead of PLD, Pionk and some scraps.
Can't help but wonder what they could get in return for McD. They could still have Drai, RNH, Holloway, McLeod down the middle plus a possible C in the return. Most teams would need to send a lot of cap back to fit his contract, so it might not be possible to get real value for him. But I still have to think about it.
What team could give up the kind of Dmen they would need to get back?
I don't even want to go there.
0-2 after tonight ....So much for the Leafs undefeated season as many there predicted!
I Always really liked Trouba on our team but he’s not a #1 and he got overpaid to be one. I would still prefer JT and Morrissey together but he got paid at the time to be a #1 and he’s more of a 2-3. Adam Fox is easily their top RHD man and Trouba in a great spot on their 2nd pairing. Buff is what we are really missing.
