GDT: Yotes at the Leafs 7:30, TSN4.. Everyone is dropping like Flies

[Swervin81]

Well the general consensuses seems to be Matthews isn't generational. And Strome + Domi + 10th OA does seem to be a huge overpayment IMO. Strome was just a 3rd OA pick this year. Not saying I'd take that deal, just saying we could do worse.

Hmm? I've read many people putting Matthews on Eichel tier of prospects, and I consider Eichel a generational talent.

Either way, Matthews, even if he's just borderline generational, that's still a near slam dunk for your big #1C for the next 7+ years and allows you to move one of Nylander/Marner to the wing.

So this means Dion gets traded
Got it

Domi, Strome, top 5, I'd seriously consider that

I would make that deal, but like I said most Yotes fans werent even hot on the idea of Strome and a top 5 pick.

Kadri is playing like a possessed man

Possessed by Hoglund

There's a poll going right now actually and the majority don't consider Matthews generational. McDavid is on another level from Eichel so I don't really consider Eichel generational either, just extremely elite. Regardless, that's another discussion for another thread. Agree to disagree on that point.

Just going to play devil's advocate here on the second point: Strome is also a slam dunk for a big #1 C for the next 7 years (or close to it) + A top 6 winger in Domi + another great prospect at 10th OA. Idk, it's an interesting hypothetical to me.

How many generational talents do we have this generation?

 

[behemolari]

How? Lol 39 isnt that old compared to people playing to like 42-43

Selanne was 43 if I can recall it right

Hey, Mitch.

That's because it's a made-up term that everybody has a different definition for

puck possession not so good vs these guys

Where is that poll? I want to go and vote angrily.

Some Leaf fan should offer to pay for Marner and co next round of subs so we can bump up his weight a little faster

I hate how over used that term is, unless you are ahead of your peers like Lemieux/Gretzky you're not generational, every 2 years you can't have a new generational player.

 

[keonsbitterness]

Nice hustle, Leo.

Both of them, eh?

 

[TMLeafer]

Leading the league in goal posts?

 

[Leafidelity]

They should dress Marner in Arcobello's gear

 

[hamzarocks]

posts there everywhere

Give 'em hell.

How unlucky are we . seriously so many posts and other team and those are in its not fair.

 

[leaffaninvancouver]

It pains me to realize how much this team misses Bozak, really not a good sign when he's one of your top forwards.

I think he's an elite generational superstar

Woah, now, we don't want the chunkiness of pre-summer 2015 Kyle Lowry.

I'm a generational GDT poster.

So Spaling was injured... Day-to-day which by Babcock's term means 1-2 weeks.
