Brad Treliving is doing a great job.

[TMLAM34]

Even I'm guilty of jumping to conclusions sometimes.

I wasn't a fan of the Domi signing, but he's performed better than expected to me. Four points, in six games is pretty good for him. If he can be at, or above .5PPG, with his reduced ice time, and limited PP time, that would be excellent from his spot. Keep up with the Knies chemistry, and hopefully they continue to have success.

Klingberg has put up points, but is also a negative +-... about expected for him.

Bertuzzi has been ok, but he needs to put up some points too.

So far, these three are doing ok... but still early.

I’m hoping we see Knies moved up to the top line with Matthews and Marner.

Knies - Matthews - Marner
Bertuzzi - Tavares - Nylander

Probably gives us one of the best top six forward groups. Domi - Kampf - Jarnkrok wouldn’t be bad considering Jarnkrok has a pretty underrated shot and it gives Domi two defensively responsible players. Maybe even Holmberg centers that line instead of Kampf to give it a little more offence.

I'm just of the mindset, that if Knies and Domi continue their chemistry, it gives us three potent lines to deal with, instead of two...

For sure, it definitely would help our lack of secondary scoring that’s for sure. I’m just not a big fan of having Jarnkrok in the top six, especially on our top line come playoff time. If we can address that position while having Knies and Domi create chemistry on the third line that would be fantastic.

I would rather see Bobby McMann on the ice than Ryan Reaves. The Leafs have no dead cap ATM, but they might need to put Reaves in the press box or waive him. I'm doubtful that any other team would pick up his contract.

Not overly impressed with Bertuzzi and/or Domi, but it's early and they're only on one-year deals that could actually turn out pretty well in the end.

The Reaves contract, though, is a little bit of a stinker. Thankfully, a team's success doesn't usually boil down to the 12th or 13th forward. There's not a lot of downside risk if they need to waive or bury him.

McMann is dealing with a knee injury, that he sustained last season. He's currently not playing.

Domi has 4 points in 6 games. If somehow you expected more, you set yourself up for disappointment.

Bertuzzi has played ok, but needs to put up some points. He's more of a playoff addition anyway. Give him some time to find his place.

Reaves... not a big fan of that signing either.

Leafs should be cup contenders by now
Instead they have trouble winning a round

Leafs GMs refuse to assemble a deep D core.
Currently they have two top 4 D, and four bottom pairing D. Good enough to make the post season but nowhere near enough to contend
in the playoffs.

Rielly and Brodie are clearly top four. McCabe and Klingberg have consistently played top four minutes for other clubs.

I think the D could use some upgrading and physicality, but I think the comments are off the market. They've regularly brought in D to help this group. It just hasn't worked... which has rarely been because of the D, and more because the forwards didn't score at the critical times.

 

[TMLBlueandWhite]

Domi played 24,4% with jt and nylander... The rest of the time he was on 3rd line


You cant expect having a 60-70 2 way player good every where at 3 M... you will have kinf of kerfoot at this salary as 2 way player... its the reality

According to NST Domi has played 27 minutes with Kampf and Knies, and 20 minutes with Nylander and Tavares, so you are correct, after last game Domi has now played more minutes on the third line than the second.

I'm not sure why LeftWingLock seems to give a different result.

Personally i using frozentools for line combinations but NST working well too

What he did with the Samsanov contract looks better by the day….

 

[Thornbury]

I am waiting to see if he can find a way to keep Timmins. That's a young RD asset that I'd hate to see them piss away because they gave Reaves $100k too much.

If he gets traded it won't be because they gave Reaves an extra 100K.

It will be because they need an upgrade.

It's VERY early he will get it back he started similarly last year too.

But last season when Samsonov started to look good? In January when Murray get injured and when leafs was already pratically sure to play against tampa in 1st round with 14 pts ahead of florida and 11 behing Boston...

So he took #1 lead when the pressure was totally off.

So i still have the same question about samsonov than before last season... Under pressure can he get the job done? In playoff he failed most of the time last season like 2 year ago with Washington

Show me a great goalie, and I'll show you a great GM.

 

[BrannigansLaw]

Sign Nylander. Trade Marner if necessary

 

[TheRumble]

I have to say:

- Kadri and Huberdeau contracts already looking bad for Calgary (signed by Treliving)
- Ryan Reaves already looks unplayable in the early season
- David Kampf is being paid $2.4 million to be a 4th liner
- Klingberg, a lot of people are already complaining about his defensive lapses. I actually like what he brings offensively though but he is a luxury for us given his contract
- Bertuzzi and Domi have been okay to good so far.

Treliving's legacy in Calgary was what worried me when we hired him. He's the guy who opted to sign Tkachuk to a bridge deal instead of extending him long term and then gave Kadri and Huberdeau contracts that everyone (except this forum apparently because everyone thought that Kadri>Tavares) knew was going to age poorly.

On a 1-10 scale, I'd give Treliving a 6.

 

[DarkKnight]

That has nothing to do with the wisdom of a one year deal.

Domi will end up with 40-50 points which is about what you can expect for a UFA making 3 million.

I don't really know what your expectations are for 3 million dollar players.

To play like $11 million dollar players so he can go back to complaining about that yet again.

I don’t think they refuse, the problem is you have to draft and develop a dcore. It is extremely hard to put one together through UFA/Trade. The one guy who did a decent job of doing it through Drqft/UFA is Brad Treliving and we now have him. Give him a year before judging the dcore.

[Guided by Veseys]

I mean 5-2 is pretty good but if he didn’t sign Reaves we probably would be 8-0 or something. F+ from me. That Huberdeau contract is just a joke as well.
