GDT: Toronto @ Ottawa - Saturday 7pm - HNIC

One point would be a good result out of this mess

 

[Sypher04]

I don’t care if we keep a single player in the bottom 6 after the trade deadline lol

 

[Hellcat]

Winning, which is what the Leafs do most games.

Winning by playing sloppy hockey is not a game plan you want going into the playoffs.

Lets say Woll and Stolarz are not here and Murray is our starting goalie, are we still winning?

 

[13pacheco31]

Evilhomer's fav goalie is making some big saves.

I knew as soon as he said anything, this was what was going to happen lol

 

[Mr_Fun]

Finally some sign of life from AM.

 

[ToneDog]

It would be like Edmonton not resigning Drai. Maybe Colorado had not choice because they felt they were never going to reach reasonable terms with MR, but I have no doubt their first choice was to resign him.

Difference is Drai won't be making more than McDavid for long and they don't have Makar in the on deck circle.

 

[Sypher04]

It’s time for Tre to earn that fat GM pay cheque and overhaul the bottom half of this lineup

 

[CelticDruid]

Outside of a goalie having a horse shoe up his ass , getting out shot every game, giving up boatloads of scoring chances, cherry picking, sloppy puck management, what exactly is Berube's system?

Hope it works system.

Lorentz is fine

 

[francis246]

Reeves is the worst of the worst.

Why he gets to play over Grebyokin or even an Abruzzese is beyond me

 

[wingman75]

No team wants to make a clean pass….bobble wobble all over the ice.

The easy answer is simplify and get the puck in deep... work it from there. But no, we get the lets pass it through 3 people on every pass game. Wonderful. Talking about both teams.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Cannot play Reaves again this game. We don't play until Wednesday. Ride your best players

 

[Rare Jewel]

While that's true, to me this is a classic case of over GM-ing. This is about philosophy that nobody is going to get paid more than McKinnon
Leafs had that early 2000s, nobody was goign ot get paid more than Sundin

I actually like the move on the hockey front. It's a lot better than losing him for free, and he shouldn't make more than Mackinnon, irrespective of cap inflation.

They can allocate the number around the team. Perhaps another team could explore this idea.

But on the cap: The idea of a $84m cap floor is kind of crazy, particularly for the smaller teams.

 

[Torontonian]

Lot of reactions for this bottom 6 right now, 3 of them won’t be in the lineup when healthy.

 

[DragoGrizzly]

It seems like we miss the net a hell of a lot. Wonder how we compare in that regard to the rest of the league.

 

[frizzer1]

Kampf, holmberg, reeves . Domi.
Is why we’re seeing this junk..

 

[yubbers]

I feel like Polestars are targeted at strippers.

 

[Hellcat]

It’s time for Tre to earn that fat GM pay cheque and overhaul the bottom half of this lineup

If he does that and gets back effective players, he should get GM of the Year.

His game plan kind of makes me want Keefe back

 

[HockeyVirus]

Missing 3 top 6 players in Tavares, Patches, Knies and a depth piece in Dewar. Yeah no shit our bottom 6 isn't great atm

 

[fahad203]

I watched Wayne's last game. 99 finished in the year 99

What a player

 

[SprDaVE]

Just nothing going for AM and Marner. Marner still refuses to shoot in good spots.

Why? Rantanen being paid more than MacKinnon wouldn’t have changed everyone knowing that MacKinnon is the better player. Salaries rise with the cap - when it’s a slow, gradual increase things mostly work out in this regard, but the cap is growing at a massive amount and I don’t think it’s reasonable to expect contracts signed years ago to artificially restrict contracts being signed now in a much different cap situation

 

[sxvnert]

They're back to perimeter laps.

 

[Mr_Fun]

Robertson playing well at least.
