Leafs starting line-up 24/25

[namttebih]

The total minutes are over 60, is that because we run four forwards on the PP?

Your lines are good and I get what you ware doing. I really want to see if Marner can be Nylander's winger. If those two click it's hard to imagine a better two lines in the NHL.

Knies Matthews Domi (20)
XXXXX Nylander Marner (19)
Robertson Tavares McMann (15)
Holmberg Kampf Jarnkrok (12)

XXXXX could be Pacioretty, Holmberg, Jarnkrok, Grebyenkin, or Cowan

My math was wrong because it was 2am and I was a few pops deep. Haha

I don't disagree with your second line idea, but my intention was to have each of them drive their own line.

 

[thusk]

This is exactly what I was about to respond to his post. I like the Idea of running 3 lines driven my Matthews, Marner and Nylander. I'm still not even sure if there's enough ice time, but Nylander's line would more than likely be used in limited settings.

Knies Matthews Domi

Possible break out season for Knies. Big body, puck retrieval. Domi's play making and Matthews' scoring. Domi the one week link defensively.

20 minutes a night

Robertson Tavares Marner

Have Marner feed Robertson. Marner and Tavares defensively responsible. Give Robertson a chance to prove himself. Give him more than a quick look. Have Mitch show him how to avoid getting hurt with a small frame. Give him a specific job in hopes that he truly becomes a leader. Mentor Nick.

18 mins


McMann Nylander Jarnkrok

Have Nylander flanked by defensively responsible guys with 20 goal potential.

16 mins - which is less than you would want Willy to play, but give him a year. Give him an actual chance to play the position in hopes that he can take Tavares' spot the following year.

Pacioretty Kampf Holmberg

All D zone starts obviously. Pacioretty has received Selke votes in the past.

12 mins

line are not static all game long, Berube can still send exemple nylander with matthews on specific situation or whatever

 

[notDatsyuk]

my limited critera hahaha when you just talking with your eye-test view, it's very funny

so let's see statistically the nylander production steading up at 5v5


2016-2017 11 goal 20 assists 31 pts
2017-2018 12 goal 33 assists 45 pts
2018-2019 6 goal 15 assist in 54 game
( 32 pts
2019-2020 19 goal 19 assist 38 pts
2020-2021 11 goal 15 assist in 51 game (18 goal 24 assist for a complete season) 42 pts
2021-2022 18 goal 22 assist 40 pts
2022-2023 22 foal 27 assist 49 pts
2023-2024 22 goal 23 assist 45 pts

the 45 pts in 2017-2018 in my mind is = at the same number of 45 pts in 2023-2024...no? The main difference is since he was playing with JT, his number of goal raised

So again you either completely misread what I said, or are just ignoring it because you have no answer.

Please stop wasting my time.

Q:

Is there a GDT thread yet?

Tavares was never worth 10M let alone 11M

He has been overpaid every year of his deal

He has been a 8-9M player for Y1-5 and then 5-6M last year

he is likely a 3-4M player the next 2-3 years

Tavares career high is 88 pts as a leaf, that type of production will get Nylander trade demand threats at 11.5M from this fanbase

Tavarew was the biggest blunder leafs have made since 2016

I would not call it total blunder since we made the playoffs. Tavares struggled last playoffs but he was not the only one. Is his contract overpaid maybe but they took that risk when they overpaid to guarantee him to sign in Toronto. They were having hard time driving offense because Matthew's and Nylander were out of most games last playoffs.
