Can you imagine if MacKinnon was a leaf and put up those early career numbers? These guys would have crucified him.

It wasn't an actual comparison though. It was more about being patient with Nylander. Perhaps I should have said the Leafs should be patient with Nylander just like Colorado was with MacKinnon.

I thought you were pretty clear.

Fair enough. But ultimately is Nylander what they need moving forward? I mean, unless he morphs into Mac is he really necessary? Can't they score lots without him. Don't they need his cap space for defence?

Yes he's the best RW under contract for the Leafs ...currently.

IMO, yes. I think Nylander has the potential to be a 70-80 point guy, we can't just give up on that.

Vlad Jr. with homerun #2!

I love that all the fans boys that are wrong all the time band together and defend each other. It's actually super cute.

Shut up UG.

So the Leafs get to have a high scoring winger but can't win as a team because they are using up all their cap space with the forwards. Again. (frank) individual players. The team needs to win.

He'd be even better if he pvr'd the games

And maybe he won’t pan out but I think it’s a pretty good gamble to wait and see.

We can move out other pieces though.

I think he's been expected to do too much on a poopty team. In a reduced role with less pressure he'd do well.
- PatC80

I can't see it. He's just terrible at everything that's not a power play.

You could be right. I think at this point I'm desperate for anything that resembles an actual RHD. We all know if we play Boston again next year we won't get any powerplay chances.

Shut up UG.

Tonight it’s the literates against the illiterates. See if you can guess what group you belong to.

Hmmmm
Im just apprehensive about moving out that quality 3rd line center.
Kadri in the 3 spot is great....if he werent so stupid every Boston series.
- Fakepartofme

And on a great contract.

Unless it's for legit help on defense, Kadri should stay put.

He'll learn from his mistakes.

I've been on this for over 10 years. Several of those commenting have supported absolutely stupid crap the leafs have done over the years. I know exactly where they stand. And for god sakes, being part of that group is not something I would be proud of.

3 suspensions in 4 calendar years. Better learn his lesson soon.

I'm hoping that Nashville panics and by some miracle they trade Ellis to the Leafs.

Ellis would be a great addition. A lot of talk of Subban and Turris being available. I'd like Subban here if we could fit him in.
Edit; I'm not comparing Subban to Ellis.

The same defenders of Burke and Nonis?
