Mo should be stripped of his A and have it given to Nylander
He's gone from the outhouse to the penthouse since he signed after "holding out" for two months and coming in out of shape. Hopefully he can keep up the 52 goal pace he is on and puts up close to 100 points.
It seems crazy to me that if he hits 40 again this year that he will become the 5th Leaf in history to have 3 40 goal seasons.Another good game offensively by Willy last night. He’s on his way to having a big goal scoring season.

Regular season warriors but they have never competed like Sittler, Salming, McDonald, Sundin, Clarke, Gilmour, and Roberts in the playoffs. Playoff warriors.It seems crazy to me that if he hits 40 again this year that he will become the 5th Leaf in history to have 3 40 goal seasons.

If people could finish his setups better he'd be on pace for a lot more than 100 points.He's gone from the outhouse to the penthouse since he signed after "holding out" for two months and coming in out of shape. Hopefully he can keep up the 52 goal pace he is on and puts up close to 100 points.
Willy's easily the best of the current crop, but we'll below those, at least so far.Regular season warriors but they have never competed like Sittler, Salming, McDonald, Sundin, Clarke, Gilmour, and Roberts in the playoffs. Playoff warriors.
Why is there a trophy for goals and not one for assists? Maybe we can campaign for one and call it the Beliveau, Ratelle, Oates or Jumbo? Better yet, the Johnny Hockey (RIP).I want him to get a rocket. I think that would be awesome. Two rocket winners on the same team. Maybe another fancy team related silver trophy as well.
Seems the old guard never thought an assist was worth it. I actually wouldn't be opposed to an award. I mean, they are important.Why is there a trophy for goals and not one for assists?

McDavid really wanted that 100th assist, seemed like he was always declining to shoot when he got to the mid nineties.Seems the old guard never thought an assist was worth it. I actually wouldn't be opposed to an award. I mean, they are important.
The way I see it if you are not a goal scorer and you want to be one of the top 5 paid players in the game, you have to lead the league in something. Has Mitch ever led the league in assists or come close to 100 assists? How about an Art Ross?McDavid really wanted that 100th assist, seemed like he was always declining to shoot when he got to the mid nineties.

No Mitch Marner. His highest was 69. There's that number again.

True but if our core competed like those guys, they might have more than 1 series win in 9 attempts.That's a lot of "playoff warriors" with no Leafs cups to show
Yet Sundin played just as well in the playoffs, 8 playoff years, 77 games played 70 points.Never thought Sundin fit with the others listed but ya, the current crop of stars is likely the most talented group the Leafs have ever had at one time. They just don’t lay it out there.
The entire core 4 has been a huge disappointment in the playoffs.
eventually we’ll figure it out and have a left wing for him maybe it’s Cowan or grebby but Willy and knies look good together looked good together in the playoffs last 2 yearsI'm not gonna criticize Nylander's point totals in the playoffs for a couple of reasons.
1) His goals are good, but his assists are not. Which is mainly on his linemates. JT is the biggest playoff dropper out of the core 4. To be fair to JT and Nylander, they've NEVER had a LW ever. He had a game against Florida where it was 5 A+ chances for his linemates and they couldn't finish. His playmaking is underrated.
2) He's been the least paid by far. It changed last season and I think we can all agree we were satisfied with his performance on the ice despite injury.
3) This dude put up goals with Kerfoot as his center. Best player in the Habs series.
4) He's consistent from game 1-7.
5) He scores clutch goals. Like every single Boston series goal. Or Florida goals. He was also a monster in the 2022 playoffs.
That said. The standard is much higher on a 11.5 mil deal. We need 10 point series. He's got the skill to break the game himself with some more consistency.
I'd be perfectly fine with Willy having the other letter too.Mo should be stripped of his A and have it given to Nylander

I thought AI bullshit at first but they seem to be regular season + playoffs.What the heck are those numbers none of them are true.
