Literally ever move he's done has backfired.

 

Not singing Nylander to an extension

 

Bertuzzi although looking a bit better lately hasn't been good

 

Klingberg is a complete write off, maybe the worst defensive player in the league

 

Domi done nothing

 

Gave Reaves a 3 year contract who is completely unplayable at this point.

 

Ya. His FA's haven't been the best thus far.

I am taking my son to Pittsburgh to catch a hockey and baseball game in April. My brother in law used to be the assistant trainer for the local QMJHL here and the trainer there is now the head trainer

Holy f***, Pascal Dupuis has a blood clot in his lung, out 6 months, might end his career, sad news man as a fan.

Panarin who is a winger got 7/11.6 AAV and that was 4 years ago. Plus as a UFA teams won't have to give up anything so should pay his full market value. I think he at least gets 12 on the open market but I could also seem him taking a bit less to stay in Toronto.

 

And Tkachuk signed at 9.5, we won't know til you find out.

Not singing Nylander to an extension - they tried something will get done.

 

Bertuzzi although looking a bit better lately hasn't been good he's adjusted, should be good from here on out

 

Klingberg is a complete write off, maybe the worst defensive player in the league never got this move, agreed.

 

Domi done nothing same as Bertuzzi

 

Gave Reaves a 3 year contract who is completely unplayable at this point. Disappointing no doubt, though he's a playoff acquisition

 

Meh...

They should have locked him up a few years ago. Now he's going to get top $

 

They did, many thought he was way overpaid, myself included, turned out that contract was a bargain. Anyhow Willy said he'd take a hometown break if the other guys did, and AM34 did so, balls in his court, should be reasonable.

The big question can the Leafs win a Stanley Cup with a core of Matthews, Marner and Nylander? Still hasn't happened and doubt it happens this season.

 

Of course they can. It’s just about finding the right supporting cast. Their odds of winning with those 3 are better than winning without that trio.

Lol Matthews didn’t take a hometown discount. Hometown discount would have been signing for the same as McKinnon and McDavid.

 

Willy will be looking to reset the market for Wingers.

He took the least amount he could on the market, he could've gotten a lot more.

You're saying Matthews wouldn't have gotten more in an open market?

how is Reaves a playoff acquisition? Aren't useless enforcers typically left off the playoff roster? I thought he was a moronic signing. It's not 1996. I didn't get Klingberg either. Bertuzzi and Domi are fine. Obviously their scoring will go down on a team like the Leafs who already have the high end guys to score. They both just need to be the gritty, dirty work guys.

Because the Leafs were pushed around in the playoffs, he's supposed to counter it, it is what it is.

I'm not sure putting the 4th line enforcer on the ice more often is going to help with that. You need real players who are tough/gritty to change that. Domi and Bertuzzi kind of fill that need. Reaves is a joke.

I agree with you, it is what is, mate.

It isn't. Reaves isn't playing in the playoffs. If he does, that's a problem. What they need is a Top 6 forward, and a Top 9 forward that can actually PLAY....and still beat your ass if you get out of line. Players that have fists but can't play (or can't play anymore, in Simmonds case) are not what they need.

The Leafs have one of the best core groups of forwards but there is a lot of holes on the roster still. As it stands they are in more in the top 8-12 teams in the League than the top 5 so the new GM is going to have his work cut out for him.

The Oilers have dug themselves so deep, I wonder if they can make the dance? Hmm...

 

They seem to be coming around. I’m gonna say they make the Playoffs. And I hate that f***ing team BTW. Lol

Matthews have disappeared again. Pops a scattered goal in here and there and that’s about it for his game again this year. So frustrating to watch him and Mitch these days. When they show them on the bench it’s like they’re off in la la land. Bunch of Pussies.

The rumour is that he f***ed Connor Bedard's mom on a recent moms trip. If true, that's the most NHL thing I've ever heard.

Bedard could be the next McDavid, but will still always be the guy who’s mom f***ed Corey Perry snd got him kicked off the team

It's especially funny because Perry was pretty much just brought in for his leadership and to mentor Bedard
