The Core Has To Go

[BraveCanadian]

No this is the important part. To suggest that it's managements fault for assuming it would go up as all teams did is just silly.

The NHL has had multiple years where there were 0-3% increases (not including covid) that were likely less than inflation, and a few years as high as 7% to 14%. If you are suggesting that management isn't responsible for.. managing.. for this type of fluctuation in their plans, then that is just silly. But you do you.

 

[RAM]

You need to trade Mathews and Marner both, before the NMC kicks in I would look at buffalo with 3 first round picks this year and Dylan Cozens and Owen Powers.

They did manage it!! What is it about numbers that people like you don't seem to understand. It's been 5 years since JT signed. Think man.

They've managed it to the tune of playoff series victory in 7 years. Seems like it's you who doesn't understand that's not even close to being impressive.

 

[BertCorbeau]

This core is atrocious in critical PP situations, quite sad

 

[Cor]

Trade them all.

 

[Menzinger]

Send them to Arizona, and Anaheim - places where we and most of the hockey world can forget they existed

 

[Torontonian]

Team needs to change the top 6 core, not enough jam from the top players to be able to get it done.

 

[steam whistle]

Losers

 

[robertocarlos]

Keep Nylander.

 

[Eternal Leaf]

If they try to bring back the same core, it's pretty much insulting as a fan.

Laughing at these in different ways

I felt insulted after the Montreal series when they did this. How much further can they possibly take it.

 

[HEAVY DUTY]

One of Marner or Matthews needs to be gone. We cannot bring back this same core.

No one is taking Tavares. So moving Matthews or Marner it is.

 

[thewave]

If Matthews and Marner showed up this series its very different.

 

[Burnie97]

Defeat f***ing sucks.

Cheers to all Leaf fans. We're a beaten bunch but see you next season against our better judgement.

Be on here and there for hot takes... the draft and canada day finally for signings.

 

[LeafGrief]

Buh-bye to this core and this experiment.

Keepers:

Rielly (Captain)
Woll
Kampf
Lafferty
Schenn
Knies


On the fence
Matthews
Jarnkrok
Acciari
McCabe
Brodie

Bye Felicia:
Marner (get the f*** out of town)
JT - stuck with him, but rip that C off his chest. He doesn't deserve it.
O'Reilly
Holl

Thanks for your service:
Kerfoot
Bunting (strongly debated bye Felicia)

Anyone else:
Who cares

 

[CapspaceKiller]

Need a new GM and Coach. A completely differently philosophy even the fans have too much of a positive or negative bias towards the team. Everybody should be shopped

Should result in a high lottery pick for the retool.

No it won't. That goaltending and first line alone will take us to the playoffs. You don't watch enough hockey do you?

Pretty much nailed it

I'd say Marner, too. Unless Matthews is made of glass and constantly playing injured, I can hope this is all some sort of fluke and the best is still yet to come.


Marner can't even grow a playoff beard.

If Tavares is the problem get rid of him.

You don't fart and turn up the music to drown out the smell.

 

[Skullz]

If at all possible, move 91, it doesn't matter for what.

Trade Marner.

I would even consider matthews for a huge offer.

Let ROR walk.

Playoffs showed how freaking slow we actually are.

Reilly gets the C. 88 stays.

For keeping Nylander they need to put pressure on JT to leave because if not it will be Nylander.
The other pucks have full no movement clause kicking g in July 1st
