GDT: Toronto @ Detroit - Oct 3 7pm SN

[WTFMAN99]

Good win against the NHL group. Depth on D is fine it seems. Lilly also lead the team in ice time. If he's really as bad as people say he is, and Berube isn't a fan, he certainly isn't showing it with how he's being played. Again he's been a primary PK option this pre season

At the very least, I do wonder how he's regarded league wide and if there is a good trade return to be had.

Is there a team in the league with a guy who projects as a 2C/3C that isn't quite sticking or getting a chance? I think of Grabovski all those years ago....

 

[notbias]

Curious to see what happens when Dewar and Hakanpaa are healthy. Gotta say tho, McMann has certainly stepped back.

There's been a bunch of pointless signings by Tre, I just don't know who yet...

Some of the players in the stands will be making north of a million

 

[All Mod Cons]

I feel much more comfortable with Bradley and Craig directing the ship than the previous two.

 

[MarMarSab3]

Myers and Rifai make timmins very mute, likely he's on waivers

Pacioretty is a no for me
Nylander is a no for me
Cowan needs time
Greb needs half a season with the Marlies
Kampf and Jarnkrok are easily replaced internally

 

[arso40]

He hasn’t shown much and when you’re slow in the preseason…

id leave him off my team we have enough players that can fill 3rd line left wing that will be improving and can skate

some of these guys takes are waaaay out there

Our goaltending depth is absolutely insane.

Woll and Stolarz look good but, Hildeby at #3 is wild, he's probably pushing for some starts on another team.

I expect teams will try to poach him in a trade this year if we're looking to upgrade.

I don't think he was going to sign a multi-year deal with the Leafs given how the offseason was going... Keefe's (terrible) handling of Robertson seemed to piss him off.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

I don't understand how people can't be a fan of Pacioretty.

As long as he's healthy enough to go he's earned a spot as far as I'm concerned, Pacioretty and Robertson were great together tonight.

I want more of that.

 

[Smif]

Having Pacioretty/ JT / Robertson on the 3rd line seems.pretty enticing imo.

 

[Apex Predator]

Robertson brought it at training camp. That’s what he needed to do. Give him some top 6 time during the season and let’s hope he keeps bringing it.

pacioretty is gonna cause a ripple effect on the line up that i dont think is gonna make us better than we can be

 

[TMLAM34]

Sure Liljegren may of had the most ice time but I think that’s so Berube can see what he’s got in Liljegren. I wasn’t too impressed with him tonight or all of pre-season, he’s been meh.

Rielly - Tanev
Benoit - McCabe
OEL - Hakanpaa
Rafai - Myers

I’d be fine with that d group. Look into moving Liljegren in a deal for a center like Frost or Hayton.

 

[Smif]

Looks like another cold year in the D

What makes you say that? Our GA not good enough this pre-season?

 

[Zacman]

Myers and Rifai make timmins very mute, likely he's on waivers

Pacioretty is a no for me
Nylander is a no for me
Cowan needs time
Greb needs half a season with the Marlies
Kampf and Jarnkrok are easily replaced internally

How is patches a no? Seems biased because he's been great.

As long as Woll can be depended on to stay healthy you might be right.

It's not a talent thing with Woll he just needs to prove he can be depended on to be healthy

Trade
Ljilgren does nothing for me
Kampf to much cap for what he does
Use there cap on a centerman

Myers and Rifai should be on the team

Kokkonen also plays a quiet steady game

Domi Tavares Nylander was a line in practice today, so it looks like Nylander at center could be over.

 

[Burnie97]

Missed it tonight unfortunately but just caught up on all the highlights.

Beauty game again by Robbie. Pat looked good. Stolarz with a bunch of beauty saves.

Don't get hurt on Saturday and maybe a trade and some waivers and get ready for Wednesday.

Go Leafs Go

Who would Myers and Rifai replace?
Timmins?

 

[Budz]

Brad needs to dig in deep and make a good hockey trade.

 

[TMLeafer]

Rifai impressed again. Stolarz, Robbo looking good.

Jarnkrok and kampf, meh.

Dirty hit by Larkin

 

[horner]

Kampf jarnkrok and Lilly can all go
Patches replaces jarnkrok
Holmberg replaces kampf
Riafi replaces lilly
Sign lorentz

Knies Matthews marner
McCann domi willy
Robertson JT patches
Lorentz holmberg reaves
Dewar

Reilly tanev
McCabe oel
Riafi Benoit
Timmons/hannapaw lol

Woll
Stolorz

Use some of the money from kampf 2.4
Jarnkrok 2.1 and lilly 3
Look at upgrading defense with the money left over

Myers needs to be on the team

 

[MarMarSab3]

How is patches a no? Seems biased because he's been great.

I just haven't seen it personally, it likely comes down to patches or nick and I rather nick

 

[conFABulator]

Great night. A lot of guys seem to be showing us that the gap between them and somebody currently in the lineup and making lots more money is not that large.

Rifai and Myers give us D depth for sure.

It's not hard to imagine Stolarz having a strong season as a 1B or guy pushing Woll for starts. He looked good.

Robertson taking a big step forward, which seems is possible for him. He has seemed almost dominant at times on the ice. Seven minutes of scoreless PK, five straight goals...our last five, three straight game winners.

I would like to see more of Cowan. He makes some good plays and he brings energy and maybe he can learn the NHL quickly. He has the skills.

It was nice to Niemela. I thought he looked good. We seem have a lot of organizational depth on the back end now...not top end guys but a lot of that could play NHL minutes on a decent or good bottom pairing

 

[HogTown06]

Just watched the highlights and they were pretty boring... Can't imagine how boring the game was.

Can't wait for Wednesday! Go Leafs Go!
