Had Keefe been back, I'd understand it, Keefe has kind of screwed him over. But with a new coach, you're kind of shooting yourself in the foot at this point.

Sandin was quite the entitled young guy at the time too. He had his little pop after the trade in Washington but was pretty mediocre this season.

i'd be interested in a Vrana PTO. No commitment. Play a few pre-season games. Show us what you've got left (especially if Robertson decides to sit out).

Pretty mediocre AND signed to big deal with term. We were very shrewd to turn him into Cowan while replacing him with Gustafsson that playoff run.
If Sandin were making that money on this Leafs team it would be pretty crippling. He is making more OEL and Benoit combined.
I think there is a chance that Liljegren is better (and a RD) than Sandin THIS year.
Sure, but Robo likely sees this as a 23M dollar decision, so polish and perceived entitlement sort of take a back seat.
I don't know why the Caps did what they did, but they just did it, and Sandin probably has no regrets. Makes it difficult to tell Robo to behave with a straight face.
Sandin certainly wasn’t and Robertson doesn’t seem to be either interested in actually earning their role. Pretty frustrating from a fan perspective.
The difference is that Sandin occasionally got to play top pair minutes (due to injury) and actually fared pretty well during those stints. We never really gave it a chance to ride when other guys got healthy so I could see why he'd want more of an opportunity.
Robertson has never really had that type of opportunity with our big guys to boost his trade value. I can see why he would be pissed getting benched for a guy like Gregor after scoring a goal during the regular season, but he needs to keep pushing and doing well to show teams he'd be worth trading a decent asset for and sliding into the top 6.

It was a pop offensively but he also got wrecked defensively with the increased role.
I don’t agree with pulling Robertson on several of the ocassions he was either but at the end of the day Robertson plays bottom 6, has not made himself indispensable and doesn’t do most of the things other bottom 6 role players do.
While that may not be his game, he’s not a top 6 player on this team so he either needs to bring other elements or he’s going to sit some nights when the coach thinks he needs a different look. That’s on him more than anyone else.

Wonder if there’s a fit in Dallas for Nick Robertson. Reunite him with his brother and we grab a Stars prospect.

Who did they lose?
Who would he replace?
Obviously, he isn't replacing someone like Joe Pavelski.
I'd rather a pick than someone like Sam Steel.
Wondering if this has been his endgame the entire time…..

That’s what I’m thinking, although the end game of teaming up with your brother somewhere is usually just temporary anyway, so it isn’t the strongest career play.

To Calgary:
Nic Robertson
Timothy Liljegren
Nick Abruzzese
Conditional 1st. round pick, changes to 2nd. rounder if Andersson doesn't play in 2nd. round of playoffs.

Why would Winnipeg trade a 14th overall pick who hasn't played an NHL game, for an overpriced player who almost certainly won't re-sign there?
Why would Marner waive to go to Winnipeg?

He might be fine on the second line, but I don't understand assuming it. Third line maybe, but let's start with earn a spot in preseason.
For every Dennis Hull there are many Brent Gretzkys.

From what I've seen, leaffann wants to either use Marner at 2C (where he hasn't played since junior many years ago), or trade him for very little return.
I'm not sure why, as neither makes much sense.
I would still like to look at Alex Nylander’s production even closer. Does anyone know if any websites can give me linemates game by game.

There are a lot of enthusiastic and creative suggestions and proposals coming from him daily. I don't spend too much time assessing their "substance". I don't know if he is new here, but it feels like he still needs to figure out how to contribute on HF Boards.
Not every idea needs a new thread for example and maybe explain the wild ideas a bit more, etc.

leftwinglock does lineups.
I don't use it much, so not sure if they do historical game-by-game, though...

Go to Dobber Frozen Tools.
Click on Game Logs and scroll down to 2023-2024 Regular Season Games. Click on the game you want to check out and scroll down to Raw Line Combinations, and right underneath that is Shifts - Forwards.
