Because we’ve seen how well dumping young guys onto the roster and being part of an aggressive loosing culture does to them (see: Buffalo, Edmonton, Ottawa)
Losing with a bunch of old guys is going to be much better?
The old guys are developed, the kids stay in the minors/europe to work on their game instead of getting absolutely roasted in the NHL. Last season Raymond Seider and Ed got a taste of what it’s like to play meaningful games.
Raymond at 8 for me easily. Marner is certainly more productive. Factor in how much more productive the Leafs supporting cast is than the Wings though and I think there's a solid chance that Raymond produces at the same level as Marner if he gets to play with Matthews, Nylander and co. Plus Raymond is still getting better whereas Marner is right in the middle of his prime.
This is the lowest level rage bait I've ever seen. My goodness.
Now that's a name one haven't heard in a while. Funny enough his 1st NHL season besides lower level in Sweden, is the season he had the most goals in Pro sport in just 67% or so of an NHL season.
I think people think I'm kidding but that is Exactly what he should do this season. Call up Campbell. Tank the shit out of this and get a lottery pick. I've been told repeatedly that Yzerman's only mistake is not having lottery luck. Great, here's your chance! Won't derail Raymond, Seider, Larkin, Kaspar, Edvn or ASP at all. Won't really hurt Cossa , Daniellson, the Norwegian or Augustine either. All the pieces are still in tact, a year older and then get some better UFA's in offseason with incoming cap space. They could see a huge jump in the standings next year. Go from bottom 3 to a playoff team.
At least this keeps it in one spot on the main board.
Should the "Calgary Zone" be renamed to the "Detroit Zone"?
