Thread: My take on the leafs
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tryger</b></div><div>Like 13 or 14 of his 57 points.

15 of his 85 points in all situations.

I’m not saying he’s bad, just that it’s hard to justify a $12M player when majority of his playtime and nearly all his powerplay production comes with one of the best players in the league. From a cost per point perspective, I think the leafs can find their version of Hyman or Kempe at half Mariners cap hit and still remain an offensive force.</div></div>

Explain why Marner has led the Leafs in points more than Matthews? Marner isn't coasting to points off the backs of others. He makes it happen on the ice. He's a top 5 RW and a Selke finalist. Hyman was a leaf and he gets his points off the stick of McDavid. I could score 20 goals if you put me in front of the net for Edmonton's power play. Kempe is a good player but he's not half of the playmaker Marner is.

Thread: Marnesota
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mikearky</b></div><div>His pay maybe peanuts but his cap hit or AAV is 11 million and they have no space without gutting their team. Why would they do that? Answer they are not. Maybe you should understand the cap my friend.</div></div>

The Leafs aren't trading him. There are maybe 3 actual leaf fans who are having tempter tantrums and wanting to trade JT. It's not happening. He'll sign an extension with a major pay cut this summer. You guys are just taking the most extreme nonsense and blanketing everyone into the same group so you can attack and call leaf fans dumb.

A) JT isn't being traded
B) if he was, and 50% retained he would be a highly sought after rental. Despite what you guys want to see happen.

Like I said, this is all just nonsense

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tryger</b></div><div>In all situations from last season, it's Matthews as the most common center, by a lot like Tavares is the other 15% and that's pretty much it.

I looked through the data, Nylander and Tavares are so much better together than Marner is with Tavares, honestly, Nylander looks like more like what you are saying. He works with anyone, go back year by year. Marner and Matthews' most common linemates and unsurprisingly where most of his 5v5 production comes from. Yes, Tavares and Marner are great but that tends to work best when it's the powerplay and Matthews is there.

Matthews actually had a better shots for % with Bertuzzi and Domi and better CF%

My theory is, I don't think Marner will be a 100-point player unless he has a current 90-point center with him. I think Kempe could get 100 points with Matthews as his center in 5v5 and the powerplay.</div></div>

Okay and how many 5v5 points did Marner score with Matthews vs his total 5v5 points?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aadoyle</b></div><div>Look at how many games Markstrom has played over the past 5 years more than Woll thats for sure. Woll's played 25 games in a full season and has had 2 injuries

A healthy Woll yes is a nice goalie but thats when he's healthy. But sadly thats rare as he's proven to be injury prone and has not hit the 30 game mark for the past 4 years.

Is he my first option no but he is an option to explore. And CGY aint a good team so dont look to much into the numbers but still a 2.78gaa and a 0.905 on a weaker team aint bad

As I will say this going into next season thinking Woll's gonna be the bonified starter capable of playing 40+ games and staying healthy is a massive mistake as the results in 2 different leagues show it guy cant stay healthy.</div></div>

He's going to be part of the equation whether or not you want to believe it. If he stays healthy, he's getting at least half the starts. Otherwise you may as well give up on him.
