Oh you're in Washington, now I get why those seats sounded cheap. Hah! Enjoy the game, I feel like death has walked through my body, the flu is awful.

 

Oh ya he didn’t get 60 tickets at $50 a pop in Vegas haha

He's on a heater.

Caps are a hell of a lot better than I thought.

Getting sick is for chicks. Multi vitamin and protein. Need to work them in.

[Spanky99]

This game is on Prime only in Sweden, lol? I'll stream it.

There's definitely an extra kicking motion there. I can't honestly decide if it looks like he was hell bent on catching a piece on the way by (similar to when guys stick out there leg for a knee on knee hit, except he was airborn), or if it was the common human nature of kicking ones legs in reaction to suddenly have gone airborn. Then is that just the difference between voluntary or involuntary manslaughter? Not my area of expertise by any means

 

 

 

Does this classless incident help you come to a more conclusive decision? Misses the hit, was gonna get beat, sticks his leg out recklessly.

Not a good look Lucic, dumbass.

It's C-19, meh...

This is Nylander's team now boys. The guy is incredible. They need to find a way to keep him.

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

They could only start negotiating with him July 1st of this year for an extension.

[burlingtonbandit]

Nylander is going to get what 8/96 on the open market this summer? New GM for the leafs has done terrible.

If he were a centre, I would say yes. But I don't think he'll get $12M AAV as a winger. But what do I know.

Explain, because of Willy, I'm lost?

Nylader is SOOOOOOOOOOOOO much better now than he was during his first ~6 years in the league.

It doesn't normally work like this in hockey. Guys tend to peak earlier than baseball

Yeah, not normally, no.

I asked one of the Leafs skating coaches (whom I know) if he's taking full credit for Nylander developing into this beast/top player. He said since he's been there, Nylander hasn't once skated with their specialty coaches and that when he's working with players, he uses Willy as the example of how to skate.

[burlingtonbandit]

If he were a centre, I would say yes. But I don't think he'll get $12M AAV as a winger. But what do I know.

 

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.

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.

[The Cats Ass]

Nylader is SOOOOOOOOOOOOO much better now than he was during his first ~6 years in the league.

 

Wonder how much of this has to do with this being his contract year? Wonder if he'll start drifting around again once he lands that big contract.

 

If they think he's for real though they'll have the space to sign him back. They have a projected $34M in space for next season.

Well he was very good last year too. You can see this in some of the fancy stats like Fenwick and Point Shares. Even basic stuff though like his shots on goal - 293 last year, big jump.

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.

Their back end is in shambles. Same boat as the Oilers.

Yeah I love Matthews, Marner and Nylander. Heck even the Leafs in the early 2000s with Sundin never had that type of young core. It would be a shame if the Leafs can't win a Cup with those three guys employed at the same time.

Panarin is a fair comparison. Always forget just how much he makes.
