We should move him to the wing where there is less defensive responsibility. He hasn’t lost the skill, and can reinvent himself. We can get more of a 2 way Center in ufa or move Nylander to C.
He needs to be moved to the wing for sure, but I don't believe Willie is the answer at C. We've tried that a few times and it doesn't seem to work for whatever reason. I'd rather not mess with what works and leave him at RW.We should move him to the wing where there is less defensive responsibility. He hasn’t lost the skill, and can reinvent himself.

Bro what?
Not even close. Knies is labouring but Taveras is stuck in quick sand. He was unplayable against the avs
Knies and Bertuzzi are absolute slugs out there right now.
I’ll give you similarly slow maybe, but Knies has been well behind the play all the time lately. If he’s not been slower than JT it’s been insanely close.
Knies has hit the wall, probably needs a couple games off.
Yeah, still love the player, not worried about him long term, but the grind of the nhl schedule has been impacting him significantly. He’s been bad lately.
The all star break should be good for him at least
Yeah, love the player but college schedule vs NHL schedule is an adjustment.
This is where I look at Keefe and think "wtf?"
Robertson is right there, get him in some games and let Knies sit out a bit.
I think he's a step behind the play because he doesn't know what to doKnies and Bertuzzi are absolute slugs out there right now.

Doesn't arthritis technically count?Best thing for Tavares is to get some minor injury that puts him on the shelf for a couple weeks.
The difference in Foligno from Toronto to Boston was likely just a coach who knew how to use him.He is 33, not 38 and he only plays 18 minutes a night but he looks like he is at the end of a 100 game season. Foligno looked done for the Leafs at 33 but he was a player for the Bs at 35 so I don't think its age. Whether illness or injury they have to get him right. I would actually sit him down for a couple of games because they can get -2 out of anybody in that spot. He needs some kind of a bump.
Foligno was a 4th liner who ended up as a healthy scratch his last game in Boston.The difference in Foligno from Toronto to Boston was likely just a coach who knew how to use him.
This year and next were supposed to be the years we'd have to live with his declining play after five years of deep playoff runs and a Cup or two. Didn't quite work out as planned.7 games pointless now
5 points in his last 16 games. Hands down worst Leaf forward in this stretch too.
Bitch about the Bertuzzi/Domi/Klingberg contracts all you like but as it stands right now Tavares is the biggest boat anchor relative to salary on the team, by a lot too.
Dubas didn't even have to live through the worst part this contract. This guy's a big f***ing problem right now.
