Im just flagging away here....our board needs more refs. I correct someones spelling on another board, i get banned. This sh!thead 3rd grader waltzes in and talks sh!t and nothing....

playoff series wins is how define success?

and your last one was 07??

The Leafs are the NHL.. without the Leafs, there would be no NHL, or Sabres..

Alright you're clearly bored as (frank) and trolling. That is the most ridiculously statement I have ever read. You sit in the corner now and think about how stupid you sound.

Go look at the Leafs record versus the Sabres in the last 15 years...

Where you hearing this?
- Arctic_AARDVARK

Wrong again. Every article I've read says Eichel would go higher. How's the weed up in Toronto? Must be pretty strong
- bluengold12

once again.. im not in Toronto.. the weed is good everywhere in Canada..

and post some links of this alledged Eichel lovefest.

Marner has much higher potential than Nylander.. Marner might end up being better than Matthews.. He put up McDavid like numbers this year in the CHL.. Reinhartis nowhere near Marner in terms of ceiling.. now, i was being nice when i said Nylander is comparable to Reinhart.. If he played a full season he would have put up more than 42pts.. he would have been closer to Eichels numbers..

You really are an invalid. No point arguing with a moron

Anyone saying the Leafs are better than anyone is delusional or just (frank)ing with you. The Leafs are the worst team in the NHL this century and maybe beyond. Every other franchise has been up at least a little bit here and there.

Less than 40%. That's how many games you have won ALL TIME against the Sabres...


Yeah that's successful.

If you read the posts the insults are being projected towards me.. im not insulting you guys.

If you stop responding they go away.

Sigh..too late but whatever

Your last sentence is key:

who wouldn't want to sign a former 60-goal scorer in his prime

Fact is, he hasn't gotten remotely close to 60 goals throughout the past 3 seasons.

Between that, and the fairly serious injuries he's sustain over the past few years, I just don't know.

Look, if we get him, I'll be excited as much as the next fan.....BUT, I also think it might be best if we let someone else take on this albatross of a cap hit.

Signing Stamkos could also have unforeseen implications for signing Eichel after his ELC and later his RFA period ends.

Here's a scenario:

Eichel develops rapidly and is equal to or surpasses Stamkos by the last year of his ELC. Eichel sees what we're willing to pay ($12M) for that type of player and how could one argue he isn't entitle to that type of payday also? As Eichel becomes RFA, we tender a qualifying $7.5 which is probably the norm for a young superstar type on their first contract. Eichel then gets offersheeted for $10M or more which leaves Buffalo royally F'ed!.....there's no way a team can survive and be successful long term with multiple >$10M contracts on the books.

THIS, the effect and expectations it will establish for our own prospects/rookies is what scares me the most about signing a UFA to this much $$.

You've been reading too many Leafs blogs. How about this scenario:

Eichel progresses normally and get a 5-6M for 2 year contract at the end of his ELC. He isn't going to be a 10M player in 3 years, no one is. McDavid won't, Crosby wasn't. The cap will rise, we will figure things out, and we'll be fine with or without 91 on the books.

As far as Stamkos he's a former 60 goal scorer, yes, but more importantly still one of the top scorers in the league. I remember the same being said about OV when he started going down was that he was only a former goal scorer and then he showed them up. Good goal scorers go through ups and downs but even on Stammer's down years he's still scoring 30-40.

Truth is, you vastly under estimate how good marner is... maybe you just never watch CHL hockey idk..

Leafs fans are the most hypocritical people ever. Dude you're sitting telling us that you wanna blow Matthews. He's A nhl god before he even laces em up. You guys are so (frank)ing desperate to be good it's pathetic.

he definitely has a higher ceiling..
- Arctic_AARDVARK

Nope.

- Buffalo--Sabres

Actually the Leafs are the second best team of the century... Buffalo, with no cups you can rank at the bottom tho.

The leafs as it stands right now (before we sign Stamkos) are better than the Sabres.. easily.

I think we should all leave the guy from Toronto with a small Richard alone...

buffalo, on?

2. Please keep threads on-topic
6. Respect your fellow HockeyBuzzers
7. No trolling and no feeding the trolls

Honestly, let's just let the conversation die and move on to other stuff.

Gonna hurt yourself stretching that far... When you have to start skewing numbers to the last 100 years your argument gets thinner...

i never said hes an NHL god..

I said Marner might even be better...

i dont know where you come up with this stuff.. just throw it on the board and see if it sticks i guess?

Nope.
- Mentalorgasm5

yep

I have the Sabres protecting:
ROR
Kane
Ennis
Foligno
Larsson
Girgensons
Deslauries

Bogo
McCabe
Risto

Lehner

I feel there are other defensemen that are better and available than Kulikov plus he's a UFA so I didn't save him.
