I would love Brodin on our team, he is a awesome Defender

 

[Confucius]

He's back on pace for 67 goals... is it really a big issue that he was injured last year?

Yup. Thing is too, it's not like Nylander has all of sudden started playing in the contract year, if he sets career highs this season (which he more than likely will), it'll be the 3rd season in a row that he's done that. Nobody can say for sure what his next 5-7 years will look like - will he trend the way Marchand did or drop off substantially instead? It could obviously go either way but the fact that this upward trend is in it's 3rd year makes me think that Nylander has simply developed into an elite player and he'll be an elite player for years to come.


Calling him an inconsistent floater is a bit much. He's an effortless skater the same way Sundin was so he just appears to be coasting sometimes. He's also likely to set career highs for the 3rd year in a row so it's not just a matter of going nuts in a contract year. If you're an inconsistent floater, you don't put up career highs for 3 years in a row taking your place among the top scorers in the league in the process, simple as that.

I don't want to pay him 11, I didn't want to pay Matthews 13+ either, especially after the season he had where he didn't even crack the top 20 in points. But in both cases, I'd rather pay them a bit more than I'd be happy doing than lose them. JMHO.

It was Mathews 2nd best season ever I guess he has been injured in all but 1 year. Lol!

 

[Sypher04]

Mistakes. People are overly focused on the team they watch and have trouble separating their biased hopes with realistic expectations.

Zeke used to be great at highlighting that bias until he dissappeared.

This is 100% the trap that people fall into.

 

[Confucius]

You think he was paid based off last season only? lol this board

8 seasons in the league it was his 2nd best point total. Lol

 

[DarkKnight]

Our second line is one the better top lines in the league.

 

[MSZ]

Shoot the damn puck Max

 

[GoonieFace]

They've both been fine in their minutes, but id be interested in whether that pair is benefitting from usage

That’s why they are a bottom pair D, they are more than likely going to play against inferior competition, which is fine

 

[HockeyVirus]

8 seasons in the league it was his 2nd best point total. Lol

Because of covid robbing him of two full seasons in his prime where he paced way higher

 

[mcleex]

Why does it say 2nd? Isn't it the 3rd period or am I hallucinating

 

[keonsbitterness]

I'm caught up.

Nice pass by Kampf.

 

[Cleetus]

Why does it say 2nd? Isn't it the 3rd period or am I hallucinating

[MSZ]

Mo!

 

[Wendelstache]

is it just me but every time Willy has the puck I get the same feeling when McDavid touches the puck, they are going to do something spectacular and they do.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Rielly has been incredible this year

 

[blue stick]
