Miscellaneous NHL Discussion CXI: The Last One Went So Long Because I Didn't Know What The Next Number Was

[BillDineen]

So the Avs 1st is 21st pick now?

22nd

 

[GKJ]

Just think, there are Leafs fans who are also Bills fans.

 

[Coalregion12]

Scott Laughton.

I can see the Flyers actually doing that!!

 

[DancingPanther]

Anyone on the Leafs worth the Flyers trying to trade for??

Laughton. That's the type of guy that can set a team over the top. Plays the right way

As an aside, people clamoring for hard nosed hockey while watching the Stars, Panthers, and Oilers just crack me up

Marner will be a Cane soon, while Flyers fans say they don’t even want him.

Too smol.

[Deadpool8812]

Matthews has been a passenger for 95% of his playoff games

 

[GKJ]

 

[Deadpool8812]

Leaf fans saying the series was over after game 2 sure aged well

That's was pretty good and just another example of Leaf fans and their delusions

 

[TCTC]

Imagine being one of the worst playoff underperformers and still having the nerve to call out your teammates.

Reading the Leafs board, they are livid over that trade.....most of them are saying Laughton did nothing....and we fleeced them in that trade....so yeah....a win for us for a change.

Laughton is the least of their worries

Leafs have done a great job making there defense so much worse... basically a collection of misfit toys all slotted 1-2 spots too high.

Sandin, Liljegren and Timmins were all let go and all three are better than half their blue-line. Heck, Sandin would be their #2. And they gave these guys up for very little.

Sandin: 11 games of Erik Gustafsson and the 28th pick.
Liljegren: An AHL Dman, a 3rd and a 6th.
Timmins: 5th rounder.

They spent more value to GET Brandon Carlo (basically 2x 1sts and a 4th and retention) than they got for those 3 guys combined lmao.

You can't have a blue-line in the modern NHL with only 1.5 guys who can pass a puck out of the zone, and only 3 guys who are above average skaters.

Yeh, their blue-line is probably average defensively! But their transition game fell apart this season and more magnified in play-offs.

Leafs fwds constantly had to come deep to take the puck and then often meant late setting up in OZ.
If you watch their goals vs the Panthers almost all of them are either a fwd coming back to get the puck or a fwd turning a puck over in the OZ for a quick chance!

They became so obsessed with getting bigger and heavier and harder to play against that they dismantled a functional D group and made a frankensteins monster D that yeh, is pretty big! But cant play in transition at all.

 

[Devonator]

Laughton is the least of their worries

Yeah but it worked out good for us.....I don't care what happens to the Leafs.

Here's a hot one from BSH. On the daily news link comments going over Toronto's potential roster blow up, someone posted they'd do Michkov, 6OA, and 26 1st unprotected for Matthews. Woof

You should counter by offering Couts, Risto and a 3rd instead.
