Please no... not like this... don't do it Boston Pizza

EDIT: bullet dodged... for now

Heiskanen doesn't play much more in PK but doesn't mean hes more offensive dman than an all around.

NYI just having pretty good RHD so don't need as much Dobson in this part of the game

Certainly, but Makar and Fox just are that good that they'll do everything.

 

[Rare Jewel]

I haven't looked at any chart, but 21:00 a night and yielding a 48%cf from a 39%OZS isn't bad.

Just scouring through Hf Leafs to see some info for tonight’s game but just want to address this.

Tocc/Foote want bigger guys on PK. Hughes plays a ton of minutes so it’s not necessary to have him PK when there’s guys we have that make a living there. Makar’s actual impact on the PK is actually pretty poor and has been since 2023 but Colorado has nobody else they can trust (Malinski, Middleton and Girard are all terrible defensively.

Fox is amazing defensively though and of the 3 is clear of them in that department.

Jesus, why?

May as well get Ristolanen while we're at it, really top off the crap sandwich

Makar fox don't have quality of pulock/ mayfield in defensive end behind them as RHDu4i

Dobson was already playing over 24 min/game and its actually more than fox. Sometime its just a question and keep Dobson energy in part of specific part of the game and not really about if he can play good pk hockey or not

Leafs ?? #1 ?? Rielly is brutally poor and isn't used on the PK.

11 seconds a game for Rielly, and wouldn't be surprised if that was by accident causing a too many men on the ice call. only kinda ...

Cost?

He would be better than several Leafs fowards, so it really comes down to cost.

Don't think anyone believes he;'s the difference making they need, but it would be improvement step by step.

Islanders PK is 31st.
Last year Islanders PK was 32nd.

Perhaps part of the deal for Dobson could include a PK defender?

[ULF_55]

Cowan does play with Barkey, so Flyers wouldn't have to scout him.

 

[Legion34]

The complication for the Leafs is that I would imagine they would want St. Louis, or a third team, to retain on Schenn's salary, which will cost additional assets.

Toronto actually can fit him in as long as Jarnkrok/hakanpa stay on LTIR with a 20 man roster

 

[Rare Jewel]

Philly has liked Roberston for a while, as well.

Still, though, some of the names being thrown around aren't the most inspiring.

He's not

Not only that he's bad defensively so he can't even do that job

Again, if he's cheap, and doesn't take away assets used for the 2nd. line center why not?

Leafs need a difference maker go big or go home

Bar none.

Yeah, that 2nd. line center is the priority.

 

[TheDoldrums]

Minten not in the Marlies lineup

 

[Jacquestrapless]

TBF, Grebs hasn't been in the lineup after being sent down as well

Some idea of how Torts used Laughton this season

 

[stats1]

Take it for what it’s worth but Flyers just recalled a kid from the minors and Minten is scratched for today’s game. Sure seems like a lot of smoke may lead to a massive fire

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Minten not in the Marlies lineup

Grebenkin too.
