Yes.

He’s actually pretty good and will only get more comfortable on this ice

No... He never played on North American ice so he sucks. Better to sign Vermette.

I think Rosen and ozhiganov start on the bottom pairings. Babs didn't seem too impressed with Dermott.
- HealthyScratch6

Well he was injured.

I’d say with a lot of certainty that Dermott will be playing. He’s proven he can dominate on the 3rd pairing

i just googled "berezin sundin" and the first link i got was quinn has resisted putting sundin and berezin together

poor mats

I love how guys write off these Europeans before they even see them.

I said a month ago Lindholm would flirt with 40 points. I read some articles on him from some scouts and it sounded like he can be more than just a 5-10 min game kind of guy.

vermette probably has 31 offers but he wants to make sure he picks the best possible team. that's why he hasn't signed yet. surely.

I got high hopes for Dermott and expect him to be top 4 at some point but Babs is weird and picks favorites.

Yes.

No other reason is possible.

Pickard looks good. Plays a similar positional style as Andersen.

can't help but chuckle at the vermette stuff. buddy has been absolutely done for a couple years now. can't even have him win a faceoff and skate to the bench because it takes him 20 minutes to skate that far these days

I don’t know about 40 points. Hard to get chances when you play 6 mins a night.

MATTHEWS/SNAKEVARES/THE OTHER GUY

Which is what he’s going to play behind our centers. Having said that, I’m all for skill on the 4th line. You never know when injuries will strike, guys take a night off, etc.

i cannot wait to see the leafs full lineup... not like tonight watching the toronto marlthews

its going to be ridiculous

So was Gardiner so you can't put too much stock into that.

How dare you say that about the best defenseman in the world.

i just wanted to see a highlight reel play

"great! we're finally getting a defensive break, the leafs are putting their third line out and the center on that line only had 32 goa.... oh ffs"

Yup, was awful in my opinion.

He'll get it together eventually one would think.

Our B-Team beat their A-Team
