By the way it looks, he's going to be the 4C. Where does this leave Kampf? Healthy scratch or I guess they take turns with the role.

Ovichinnikov going the way of Soshnikov, Korostelev, Bracco, Timashov, Dzierkals.

If by Boston dressing Maroon it forces the Leafs to dress Reaves they've won that mini-matchup before they even drop the puck. Especially on the road.
What is Reaves purpose? Protect the big 4 from sucker punches, slewfoots and elbows? He'll have a tough time doing that from the bench. If you have the Matthews line out against the Maroon line I absolutely love that. If we put out Reaves so he can take a run at Pasta or Marchand, Bruins absolutely love that. It's multi-level thinking.
Regular season that's fine, playoffs dress useful players. Every second Reaves is on the ice Boston is more likely to score a goal
Doesn’t mean the big 4 weren’t floating but if you want to pick and choose, go right ahead.
What I like about Reaves is that he doesn't take stupid penalties. Not so sure the same can be said about Maroon. Compare their PIMs.

Call me crazy but I think Dewar and Domi would be a good pair. Dewar to cover the defensive deficiencies and has a decent enough shot to finish. Dewar has 0 offensive creativity so he could actually benefit from Domi in the regard.
Dewar - Domi - Jarnkrok
Seems like it could be a useful 3rd line offensively and not a complete liability

Nylander should never see penalty kill time again. Only in Coach Keefes world is Nylander a penalty killer. I cringe every time I see him out there. It's like we're down 2 men.

I'm sure Dubas did too.
But a lot of what he did never made sense either. They keep trying to pound a square peg into a round hole. It's counterintuitive to add these types of players to a team that focuses on offense.
Especially when history has proven so many times already it doesn't work.

This is exactly the kind of player I have been saying Treliving will acquire. Very solid addition. Fans will love the way he plays.
Value wise better than last year's moves.
And he had way less to work with.

Always liked Dewar.
The gist is this, even if we acquired something on the level of Hertl, for the next few seasons, we need to acquire depth, while we navigate whether the players that have to take us through the playoffs, can take us through the playoffs.
More's the point from a point I made in another thread because we have little option to do much else: There are league prices and Leafs prices. We don't have enough to sit at the table and bid for league priced assets of quality, never mind the required hand out picks after a sesh of modeling his scenarios in NHL 23 like Dubas-prices.
Now enough about clubs that underwrite the rest of the league, let's talk about circumvention and trade strategy for expansion clubs OR: Is the only way we'll ever get to enjoy the NHL again is by becoming a fan of a southern US team?

Back in the 80's me and my friends would roll up at a party around 10pm. Without any hesitation a sloppy drunken girl would hit on me. The attention was nice, but it I didn't really indulge like others might. Every single time my friends would say to me "Who cares! Just Dewar".

I don't care if you're in the 99th percentile for defence if your competition is that low.
