Leafs held team meeting regarding their recent play

[Zybalto]

I can’t comment on the new guys (Laughton, Carlo) but the rest is pretty normal

Only one thing that sticks out and that’s I think JT is too high, he should be around 8M

I’m also guessing a guy like McCabe falls between OEL and Tanev in this as that’s where I have him in our depth chart (#2)

Oops, forgot about McCabe, and yea, you guessed right:

Matthews: 13.2
Marner: 11.9
Tavares: 10.3
Nylander: 9.7
Tanev: 7.9
Knies: 6.6
McCabe: 6.2
OEL: 5.3
Rielly: 4.4
McMann: 4.2
Laughton: 3.9
Domi: 3.0
Holmberg: 2.8
Lorentz: 2.1
Carlo: 2.0
Robertson: 1.6
Patches: 1.4
Kampf: 1.2
Jarnkrok: 0.8
Benoit: 0.8
Reaves: 0.8

I think Tavares is so high on the list due to:

Since Jan.27th last season:
GP: 90
Goals: 43 (1.6/60)
Points: 86 (3.2/60)
5v5 goal differential: 61.44

Out of the near 300 forwards with 1000+ minutes over that span, that ranks him top 10 for goals/60 and top 30 for points/60 (just ahead of Nylander in both categories). Been pretty great after that big slump he had last season.

Lessons learned, we just gotta get pucks deep, keep doing the little things, be aggressive on the forecheck, and go to the net
