Increasingly over the last little while with the lack of playoff success, the health struggles with Matthews etc. I feel like our fan base is fractured with differing views on various players.

I’m not asking for the most valuable.
Or the best contract. Just list - who are your fav and least fav - 3 players. Please share your “why” for each.

I will post mine shortly. After the thread gets going a bit…

3 Favorite

Matthews - This generations goal scoring goat

Tanev - One of the highest IQ D-men I've seen, always in position and always makes the safe/smart play

Woll - Our homegrown legitimate 1G, very likable personality. Still early in his career but he looks like the real deal

HM: Nylander, Tavares, Marner, Pacioretty


3 Least favorite

Kampf - What does he even do on this team ?

Domi - Looks awful compared to last year, offense is non-existent

Reaves - Because I have to pick 3, complete non-factor on the ice

Favourites

Nylander - So much fun to watch.

McMann - Works his butt off. Great story coming up as a undrafted player.

Tanev -Warrior

Least Favourites

-Had to reach with these. Nobody I really hate just wish we moved on from.

Reaves -Doesn't fight anymore. Pretty useless out there. Disliked the signing from day one.

Holmberg - Typical busy nothing player we have iced forever.

Robertson - The whole offseason trade request and long periods of indifferent play have turned me off the guy.

I realized in the 30 seconds I spent thinking about this that it's generally the newest players I like the most ..,

Tanev
Pacioretty
Kampf (Not his fault he got himself a great deal then was almost immediately dumped to the 4th line)

Fav
Marner- don’t like the rich kid attitude but he’s our best player so.. crossing fingers
McCabe/Tanev - old school heart and soul D we have been missing
McMann/Robertson - hoping for them

Least Fav
Reeves - loved him chasing fake tough guy Gudas around that one game but…
Holmberg - just blah
Hakanpaa - get it was a gamble but useless

HM -Matthew$ for just bring really unlikeable, Domi when he does dumb Domi things.

Favourite for on ice:
-AM34 - obvious
-WN88 - actually gets better in playoffs, especially in elimination games where the other 2 disappear
-MR44 - actually gets better in playoffs - and significantly better

Least Favourite for on ice
-RR75 - Did he forget what he was brought in for?
-MD11 - disappeared after getting contract (though has been better lately)
-PH29 - was hard to pick a 3rd I think he is miscast so not necessarily his fault


Favourite for being likable - contracts play a big role in likability TBH
-MR44 - actually sticks up for teammates and jerk opponents, also the only person who stayed even after going through the pre-2016 era. Resigned 8 years full year ahead of being UFA
-JT91 - Goes about his business, doesn't complain, works hard, stays healthy, consistent, finally did the GTA native come home
-CT8 - too small sample for above but someone willing to sell out to block a shot in a random regular season game is a Fav

Least favourite for being unlikable
-MM16 - the holdout as a RFA and forcing the Leafs to cave still kind of whines when is coitized in media
-RR75 - Has more suspension worthy hit than fights. Is that what he was brought in for
-NR89 - don't complain about ice time or contract or trade request when you don't contribute anything, you aren't your brother, just deal with it.

From A pesonality standpoint:

Great…

WN - taking the subway is completely based
NG - gotta love “backcheck, forecheck, paycheck”
MD - he has a great sense of humour

Not so great…

MM - worst. interviews. evar.
JT - would be worst interviews if it wasn’t for MM
JMc- why so serious, bro?


Strictly on ice:

Great…

JMc - 111% effort every shift
CT - 111% effort every shift
NR - controversial pick but I love his work rate even if he does dolt out

Not so great…

PH - we already have Kampf and Dewar to do f-all
CD - we already have Holmberg and Kampf to do f-all
DK - unless you’re a little slow, you know where this is going
