There is no way he should be playing with Domi, spread the wealth.

A very bad start, hopefully he gets going after a few team practices and games.
 
Give him some runway. The 1st was given seeing how the deadline went and it seemed like quite a few other players declined to come here. Bit of a concern tbh and the other concern to me is that this was the “main”’and Carlo kind of came together. I would have personally preferred just the Carlo deal, turns out it was almost the other way around.

Underwhelming debut, but I'll reserve judgment until he gets acclimated. He's been with the same organization his whole career and just got traded to his hometown club. I wouldn't be surprised if he was jittery last night.

Give it some time.

Well I was very disappointed with Laughton in his 1st game .. lost a puck battle for an early goal against and then made a horrible decision not to go after Mack on da game winner .. for f*ck sakes at least charge after him and force a tough shot or a pass back to point .. to curl away and leave games best player 1 on 1 with stolly in a tie game .. what da f*ck was that Laughton .. horrible start to your Leaf career .. I always worry abut Oakville guys they just don't have da nuts

Robertson on the 4th line is just a stupid decision by Berube. The thinking is adding scoring to the line, but with a centre like Kampf, who is an offensive black hole, that isn't happening.
That made no sense. TBH I’m surprised Robertson is still wearing the blue and white after the trade deadline. I guess with limited cap space you can only do so much at once but I fully expect him to be moved this off-season.

He probably thinks if Marner skips town he has a shot up in the top 6
 
Knies - Matthews - Domi
Patches - Tavares - Marner
McMann - Laughton - Nylander

Sure, but there's no universe where Berube drops any of the "stars" to the 3rd line. That much has been made clear going all the way back to when M&M signed their first extension.

Pretty much they play where & with whom they want.

As for Laughton, yes he was awful but he'll be fine. Whether he'll be good enough is another question but that last night was not anywhere near his level of play.
