Thread: COVID not Team Construction sank the Leafs

It doesn't mean they would have built a Cup contender. Every year, GMs make stupid signings in free agency and nothing suggests the Leafs would have necessarily built a great team. Also, it doesn't matter if their top guys don't show up in elimination games.

Thread: What Id consider for game 6

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dons_weeney</b></div><div>Rational takes. The Forbort one is tricky, because Griz has a lower ceiling defensively imo, but he's of course more fresh. I'm thinking ahead to PKs here, unless they put Beecher as a defenseman I'm just not sure I like having Mcavoy and Lindholm eat those minutes when they're gonna be relied on heavy 5v5 and P too. I guess what I'm trying to say is Forbort shouldn't be too bad on the PK, and that may be worth putting him in for.</div></div>

Fortunately, Carlo is good to go and Forbort's PK aside, he's awful at 5v5 which is where they have struggled so it would get worse. PK should be fine even if they were missing Carlo.

Thread: What Id consider for game 6

Frederic-Geekie-Pastrnak is a line that has not played at all together and it's questionable to work out. Same for 21-88-55. Aside from a goal, both JVR and Geekie haven't been really good, no chance I'd consider Geekie as 1C when he's struggled in the top6. You don't want Grzelcyk-Shattenkirk, but how is Forbort-Shattenkirk better or Forbort alone? He shouldn't be in the lineup unless they're missing 4-5 Ds.

Forum: Armchair-GMMay 1 at 8:06 a.m.

Thread: Game 6

Aside from the first few shifts, Grzelcyk played well for most part of the game. What offense has Shattenkirk provided?? Brazeau was also fine, rather him over Lauko and van Riemsdyk who hasn't done much after scoring one goal.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GiggywithGibby</b></div><div>I don't think Chychrum is a Bruins type guy. That entire team is built on identity and Jakob isn't it.</div></div>

Boston was rumored to be interested by Chychrun before his trade and even in 2022. They need a top4 LD and as a 26yo, he makes a lot of sense.

Forum: Armchair-GMApr. 23 at 9:57 a.m.

Thread: Game 3 lineup changes and reasoning

Too many changes and three new lines. Heinen isn't a top6 F, but Frederic is? Especially when he hasn't played with 18-88? There was a time to try Lohrei on the 3rd pair, they didn't and he can't play in the top4 either.

Forum: Armchair-GMApr. 23 at 8:00 a.m.

Thread: Game 3 Lines

Boqvist played well in game 1 and as we saw a few times, his speed his really valuable on odd-man rushes (often with Beecher). Need more from Frederic.

Forum: Armchair-GMApr. 22 at 1:30 p.m.

Thread: maybe its not a center we go after

Maybe but they can't contend with this forward group either. Bad contract for Skjei, he isn't a #2 defenseman like Lindholm.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BruinsWoahWoah</b></div><div>Yeah.... and JVR has 2 points since February. Beecher is the best of the bunch for his faceoff ability, speed, and forechecking.</div></div>

van Riemsdyk has definitely struggled, but Beecher isn't consistent enough to call him a regular or be in the "he's absolutely gotta be in the lineup" territory. The few attributes he brings are useful, but there's much more in hockey. Hopefully all four of van Riemsdyk, Maroon, Lauko and Beecher step up.

Thread: Game 1

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BruinsWoahWoah</b></div><div>Beecher has been better recently and has better offensive production this season than Lauko. He was coming into his own on the 4th line with Boqvist. I wouldn't break that up.</div></div>

Has he been better recently? I haven't seen much. He averages two pts more than Lauko, that's not much of a difference and he's got a likely unsustainable 18% shot%.

Forum: Armchair-GMApr. 10 at 7:55 a.m.

Thread: Use our cap

Unlikely you're getting a 1st and a 2nd for Ullmark. Rather keep Heinen at 2Y/$1.8M over Hayes or even sign any 3rd liner at $1-2M, it's easy to get those guys.

Forum: Armchair-GMApr. 5 at 10:26 a.m.

Thread: Bottom 6 is broken

DeBrusk's production has been like that the whole year
11 pts in 31 GP, 6% (shot%)
14 in 14, 25%
2 in 15, 2.7%
12 in 10, 17.2%
0 in last 5, 0%

Assuming he remains consistent, he should be back in round 1

Agreed for Frederic and 4th line only works when Boqvist is on it. They should be fine and at this point, it's bit late to get Merkulov.

Thread: Would they go after him

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>slapshot723</b></div><div>Change Frederic to Beecher and NYI says yes.</div></div>

Preferring Beecher over Frederic is certainly a choice.

Thread: various potential UFA targets

I'd be surprised if they are interested by Gostisbehere. Lindholm is the all-around left D; assuming Lohrei stays up, he will mostly have OZ starts/PP time so the other left D will be a defensive-minded/PK guy. Dillon and Zadorov are the most obvious targets; the latter who they've already been linked to. Kulikov as well.

The forwards list makes sense and it's a shame they will probably not be on the two best forwards available in Guentzel or Reinhart.

Well, you can make this argument about any goalie playing for a better team than Buffalo then.

Not taking Samuelsson for his contract and he's injury prone.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AntiAnalytics</b></div><div>Ullmark “improved” bc the team in front of him got significantly better
He’s not a “Vezina” goalie on the Sabres
He’s an above average goalie who benefited from the great team defense that Boston plays</div></div>

He's playing like a top10 goalie behind a middling defensive team, that argument is lazy and irrelevant. Does he play like that on an awful team? I don't know, but he's doing it with a mediocre defense in front of him so thinking he's just a product of the team is wrong.

Thread: Ullmark agrees to go to LA

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Celtics21</b></div><div>My problem with Forbort has been his salary. At just under 1.5M, he’s a decent option.</div></div>

He was barely playable for most of his tenure. Sheltered with a good partner and still wouldn't give much. Zero versatility as he can't move in the top4 or on the right side. Now, he missed 2 months last season and played injured this year just to finish with two surgeries at age 32. That's a player who should be on a PTO in September.

I don't know, they seem to like him and free agency hasn't been great under Sweeney. In regards to the top center, there's no top center available this year.
