Player Discussion Tyler Toffoli

[BigDaddyLurch]

Toffoli's a good finisher...get him a great set-up guy and he'll be a consistent 30ish goal guy, imo...

 

[KevSkillz4]

Welcome to Montreal Toffoli!!

I think he can score 30 goals with Suzuki or Kotkaniemi!

Woah, my thread, my post and i'd predict that.

And some people on HF'boards say i don't know my hockey?

BURN.

It really points to something in LA's system not bringing out the best in him.

Most of his career in the Kings was under Darryl Sutter...

The Shang Tsung of hockey; sucks the soul right out of it...

 

[HuGo Burner Acc]

He just needs 1 more goal to finish at a pro rated 40 goal pace. Pacioretty was the last person to make that feat In 2013-14

[FrankMTL]

He'd be on pace for a 46+ goal pace over 82 games.

Hopefully next year he can continue to score the way he has this year as I think he can hit 40 if he stays healthy.

We can say everything about Bergevin... but Toffoli is the best UFA signing i never see in Habs. (Anderson is amazing trade too).

Its more likely this is a career year for Toffoli, but it should give us more assurance that he is capable of 25-30 goal campeigns for the next couple seasons, which we would have jumped at when he got signed.

 

[montreal]

Next year will be very interesting to see how he does but especially if you have Caufield there all year as well.

That said what a season he's having, would never have expected him to be one of the top goal scorers in the league. On top of that he also came down with a case of the April blues that Petry, Danault, KK, etc.. had as he had a stretch where he scored a goal in just 2 of 11 games. If not for that he's easily at 30+.

Darryl Sutter turned Dustin Brown into a 10, 11 goal guy and sub 30 points a year. Like frig, poor SOB must have been miserable playing for Sutter.

Here are Toffoli's stats since he was traded from LA. These include the regular season and playoff games for the Canucks and this season's stats.

64GP- 35 Goals, 19 assists= 54 PTS

 

[angusyoung]

Since leaving LAK, he's got 31 goals in 54 games. Pretty wild.

It's perplexing that at a snails pace he can beat people, so odd!He does have a heck of a shot though,great hands!

 

[salbutera]

Remember when he didn't score his first 4-5 games and some folks we worried?

Or when folks were asking if he can only score vs Van? Good times..

Let's hope you're onto something!

I thought you'd say that

 

[Tyson]

What a clutch player and what a great signing.

He deserves huge accolades for his play from day 1.

 

[All Star John Scott]

Have to give Bergevin credit where its due, this guy is consistent and the best UFA signing I can remember.

 

[Bouboumaster]

Arguably the best contract Bergevin gave to someone.
This is a weak spot for him but I must say, Toffoli's contract is a homerun.
Even if GOATffoli come back to Earth sometimes, it's still a great contract.

 

[DramaticGloveSave]

At this point, what more can you say? The guy is a stud. Him and Slick Nick have some major chemistry right now as well.

 

[KevSkillz4]

The best thing about Toffoli, it's about his age... he can play very well another 5 years. It's going to be a amazing veteran for this team. Great two-way ability, smart guy and goal scoring touch.

Many here knew that those 2 would have good chemistry. Which is why I didn't want Anderson with Suzuki at the beginning of the year. TT and Suze are both average speed cerebral players. Their styles just mesh.

Toffoli is on another level on that line and Armia completes it like a glove. Armia plays great hockey whenever paired with Suzy and is dominant forechecking against the boards . I truly hope we resign him this summer instead of Tatar.
