Absolutely. No way that gets it done though. Maybe. I think Nylander is overrated though, and a team with Matthews, Tavares and Marner should be able to afford to trade Nylander for help on the back end... I hope this whole situation blows up in Dubas' face though... F*** the Leafs...

In terms of depth chart? No. But Cholo was a late first, and the other two were seconds. Not as much hype. This feels like we got a Zadina level defensive prospect.

if only he'd Target Ericsson, Daley and Nielsen.

Very not smart foolish man tries to hit Seider More

I think the game is like $10 bucks. Takes up very little memory on ur pc and doesnt need super graphics or anything. It's basically NHL 19 GM Mode on steroids and it's super addictive if you're into that. Just have to download the TBL rosters after buying. It's very causal as most of the time ur just simulating days until u have to make roster decisions. I like to play while I watch Wings games too. I think I'm in 2023 season right now and I just hiired Henrik Lundqvist to be my Swedish scout. It's an interesting game.

Right?!!

Yeah - that suggestion was made in jest - with Bogosian's injury history there's no way the Leafs are that dumb ... With the emergence of both Kapanen/Johnsson - Nylander should be trade bait - however it would be after he gets his bonus $$$...Too bad Dubas made the comment about keeping these guys all together...There's really no easy way outta this mess. Just remembered...Nylander's lil'bro Alex plays for the Sabres...Hmm.

I hope Marner is a lil'greedy c**t, and gets $11 plus million...F**ks up the roster for the foreseeable future

That would be Le Epic.

Damn straight!

Marner isn't going anywhere. If he does, he's a f***ing idiot. He grew up a die hard Leafs fan, despite the team being s*** his entire life. He's a key piece that can finally turn that team around. At what point do you put money on the back burner, and make the decision to do something every Ontario kid (Leafs fan) fantasized doing growing up... Does anyone really think he's going to give all that up over a few millions bucks, when he's already all but guaranteed to make around 100 million in his career?... I don't...

Here is my completely unrealistic October 5th lineup Bertuzzi-Larkin-Mantha Athanasiou-Veleno-Zadina Hirose-Nielson-Rasmussen Helm-Glendening-Abdelkader Cholowski-Green Dekeyser-Hronek Daley-Bowey Howard Larsson

Watched it (finally) last night. Really, really good. A lot of good insight into how tight that team was off the ice. Loved it when Mac explained the difference between a sucker punch and getting cold cocked. Hilarious. If I had one very minor "I would have liked more" from this, I would have liked to have more insight from Stevie on his perspective as the Captain and how he dealt with their style of play, speaking very little (if at all) English when they first arrived and how this effected how they communicated, how he dealt with the perception among the other teammates that "Russians were bad for NHL hockey", etc. However, top to bottom a outstanding film. Yes! I definitely got the impression that Kozlov had a major edge to him.

I think if Seider had played in the CHL last season, he would have been a consensus top 10 pick all season, and maybe even gave Byram a run for his money. The DEL is a very strong league, compared to junior leagues, and the fact that he was able to play, and play well against grown men as a 17 year old, win the rookie of the year, while getting low minutes and very little opportunity on the power-play, is very impressive. The more I hear and read on this kid, the happier I am that we "reached" for him at 6...

Are you talking about Setkov?

Im with you here. The footspeed isnt there with McIsaac. Hope CRL is right tho. If Hronek is our third best in 2 years, we are in good shape.

Oh s*** I didn't realize the summer sale is going on. If you're into the business side of hockey def get it for 5 bucks. Trades are hard. AI teams heavily favor elite players, and won't move on lesser players or lesser FA's until the big names are off the board. I like this because it seems super realistic. As the trade deadline approaches everyone is trying to force players like Doughty out of LA and everyone tells you to basically F off when u offer them Nielsen lol. But likewise I was able to snag multiple 2nd tier UFAs during free agency while the AI teams were bid warring over the top FA's like Panarin. Trades also really depend on how a player is doing. If Athanasiou has 20 pts going into the trade deadline you might get a two 4ths offered. If he has 50 pts you might get a 1st plus more offered. Generally I like the trading ALOT. Often times you're left feeling wow I got a steal for this guy, and other times I can't believe I was only able to get that. For example I traded Puempel for two 2nds after a 50 pt season playing with Larkin. But only got a 3rd for Green when he was having a low season at 36. My only complaints about the game: It's too easy to rope former head coaches into being assistant coaches. And the salary cap never changes. Like right now my HC is Glen Hanlon. My assistants are Bruce Cassidy, Dan Bylsma, Randy Carlyle, Clint Malarchuk, and Joel Quennville. Ridiculously stacked bench.

Just wanna say it's refreshing to be excited about a D prospect for like the first time in forever

Luongo's retirement: Canucks are getting hammered. 3M against the cap for each of the next three seasons.

Still pretty excited about this guy. Also I find myself going "wow" a lot when Hronek scores. Dude shoots rockets.

I love the Seider pick! Watch that guy being interviewed he's very sharp, self-aware, and seemingly willing to be a team guy. The argument about where he should have been picked is based on mock drafts... remember these guys aren't scouts they just play them on TV.

Holland probably wanted Seider at 8

Everything is under control. Situation normal. Uh, we had a slight weapons malfunction. But, uh, everything's perfectly alright now. We're fine. We're all fine here now, thank you. How are you? Great fear I sense in me. I have a bad feeling about this.
