No heat at all.
A meaningless tourney. Marner or matthews didnt go.
- Fakepartofme

Marner has no contract and isn't insured and Matthews had surgery. Otherwise, they'd be there.

How about moving Willy, now that he's back in the good books with the fanboy types? If someone wants to offer the Leafs a top 4 defender, then jump on it! Willy looks good on a big rink, because he can skate even more on the outside and make those Bolshoi moves. Losing that $7M cap hit is a must. Leafs need to get bigger and tougher, if they ever want to win a round in the playoffs. Time for Mr. Metrosexual to grow a pair and make the proper moves to get this team to another level.

I dont know, maybe they would.
Forgot they had to be under contract.

I too hope it's a confidence issue. IMO it is an issue of caring enough to take the hit to make the play. To go into the dirty areas and play hard. Maybe just me but.

Agreed

I cant even watch the playoffs anymore.
- Fakepartofme

It's definitely not as entertaining.

Marner couldn't go because he doesn't have a contract, and Matthews had surgery. If Nylander had turned Sweden down I believe he would have bern criticized as lazy in thousands of posts.

Well poop. Obviously I shoulda just got caught up before responding.

Meh.
I doubt it.
Maybe a couple of post by the one or two haters and then dozens of posts by his lovers defending him.
The rest of us wouldn't give a sh!t.

There's more than that negging on him already lol

They dont have to be under contract, but the players want to be under contract for that protection. If they go without a contract and get injured they're screwed.

Agreed

Do you believe he's just afraid? Or...

It's already been established that math is hard around these parts

So you believe he is afraid to go into the corners. Makes sense.

Same narrative from the same people pretty much all day everyday. If they’re not haters then they’re trolls.
Either way it’s become a joke.

Real early to be giving up on the potential of elite talent there.

How about Nylander for Risto

Negging doesnt mean theyre haters.

If you don't constantly throw rational real arguments out the window in favour of fanboy love fest where everything the Leafs and their players do other than Sparks and Marincin is exactly right you are a hater. Accept it. It's a badge of honour in these forums.

...which is why I didn't agree with the criticism of Nylander not being in tip top shape after he signed.

No way he can play anything resembling competitive hockey, even practice, without a contract.
