Landy going down really makes Kuzy to CO look likely

it's hard to see him coming back at this point, that's devastating

Really hope we don’t sell low on Kuzy.

I mean it’s Kuznetsov. Franchise center and can score 80 points when he feels like it

Also your stated we should trade Wilson

ARMCHAIRGMOFTHEYEAR


Yea I'd trade Wilson. You'd probably get a first and sweetener, and he shouldn't be considered a long term piece of the team imo. Fan favorite or not, if you sign him long term into his 30's and injuries/age catch up with him it could get rough.

Why not cash out now, improve your prospect pool and give someone else a shot in the system to fill Wilson's role?

I don't particularly understand the vitriol from Leafs fans towards Samsonov, especially in this round. Take, for instance, game 2, where he was beaten twice on cross creases that defense didn't cover, yet Leafs fans seemingly blamed him for the loss depsite it being a 1 goal game. Vanecek has been bad and that's been obvious, but watching the Leafs feels like Samsonov's getting the same scapegoat treatment he received here.

You go where you'll get paid. He was rewarded with a great regular season, but fanbases need to find someone to blame for a teams failure. In the end, them's the breaks.

where are we pulling 11 million out of, why would Toronto trade him, and do you realize how much it would realistically cost?

Just get Schmaltz at that point if you want a ppg player on a cheap contract, he'd be way less expensive to get in a trade than Nylander and he'd stay around longer.

also you gotta stop just throwing "lil bro" into messages, its an addiction tears of joy

This list of the top 15 players to watch at Worlds has Hardy Haman Aktell at number 5. Pronman also listed him as the #1 college/European free agent available this offseason prior to us signing him.

Will be interesting to see him compete with AA

It’ll prolly end up being protas/frank-Dowd-NAK, should still be a solid 4th line without having to spend a lot

Nak is literally his home screen on his iPad. So funny.


Speaking about speed.

Ovi Strome Bratt is something I think would work well. Because Ovi Strome Sheary and Ovi Strome NAK have worked well prob because of speed. If you Bratt we have playoffs.
