not for me. i feel like they punting this year until marner/jt off the booksHyped, no.. Curious, yes.
No big, sexy splash from Toronto this summer (disappointing) -- But I am curious to see with a new coach and revamped d-core (its night and day better from last years game 1 roster), how Toronto looks throughout the season, if they are solid in there own end and can transition up the ice quickly and smoothly. If they can, it should improve the overall team game.
Same.not for me. i feel like they punting this year until marner/jt off the books
Personally I think if there's interest from the marner camp in extending for 8 x 12.5ish it gets done. That contract will age pretty well I think. Getting JT's 11M of the books is key in fixing defense and goaltending.Same.
Which might be the smartest thing done in years.
Reduce JT's 11Mil down to $4-5 mil, and the difference goes to Marner, Knies and McCabe.... there really won't be extra money sitting around. If we walk from JT for some reason... you'll need a new 2C... which will be more than the $4-5 mil I suggested above.Personally I think if there's interest from the marner camp in extending for 8 x 12.5ish it gets done.

Tre fixed the D this month. Now we got holes on LW and we are thin at C but sure let's get Marner @ $12.5m done. He is going to shit the bed next April like he usually does. If Tre is not dumb enough to sign him before the playoffs, they should let him walk.Personally I think if there's interest from the marner camp in extending for 8 x 12.5ish it gets done.

That would be yet another unprecedented overpayPersonally I think if there's interest from the marner camp in extending for 8 x 12.5ish it gets done. That contract will age pretty well I think. Getting JT's 11M of the books is key in fixing defense and goaltending.

So he is on the cusp of what you could call a 2nd line center based on those numbers. And really, if you actually watched him play, he can't skate worth a dam anymore, can barely protect the puck and struggled hard to play well in most games. He has been very disappointing for the last few seasons. His faceoffs are the only good thing about him now.Sure thing... 40th in scoring for a C, while being top 10 in Faceoffs is a sure sign the guy is a 3rd line C.
He's on the cusp of being a 1st line C based on those numbers. 32 1st line C's, means he's the 8th best second line C. His two year numbers place him solidly into the 1st line C production.So he is on the cusp of what you could call a 2nd line center based on those numbers.

People are going nuts over Stamkos, a guy who is far worse than Tavares at everything except the PP. Tavares is still a C, and produces more at 5v5 than Stamkos... a guy Nashville saw fit to give a 4 years x $8 mil contract too.
No doubt, Tavares had a bad year by his standards, and maybe it's a decline in play... and mostly he's overpaid now... but he's still solidly a 2C, and one of the better ones. There is no statistical argument to prove otherwise, except I'm mad bro.
why not .. that's who Tre's been enamoured with, u either sign him or u dont. When I say punt, I mean the FO believes their hands are tied so they did what they could and will hope a coaching change improves the club. Oh nothing we can do, gotta wait till next year = loser mentality.why sign a 34 year old to a multi year deal if your throwing the first year? makes no sense. especially when most people in hear believe Tanev only has probably 2 more good years at best.
No ones mad...I've seen enough of him to believe he isn't a capable player any more. He was carried by his teammates. His value is in faceoffs now, that's it.He's on the cusp of being a 1st line C based on those numbers. 32 1st line C's, means he's the 8th best second line C.

This is why many want to play in Nashville.
I'll just say bad take... anyway, cheers.No ones mad...I've seen enough of him to believe he isn't a capable player any more. He was carried by his teammates. His value is in faceoffs now, that's it.
The lack of being swarmed by fans?There’s nothing in that video that comes even close to approaching a reason why someone would sign there
I don't know if "punting" is the right term for this year. It is however not the year to be going "all-in". The difference? All-in would have been trading prospects for short term pieces I guess and we didn't do that at the TDL, the draft or the rest of the off-season (so far).Same.
Which might be the smartest thing done in years.

There almost no one in the video lol
