A team can be taught D if its willing to learn and execute D strategies.
Seth would be a huge add...but not for matthews
- Fakepartofme

of course he would but not for Matthews or marner

There were games Mackinnon was getting 24-26 minutes. Same with a guy like Panarin. in the clinching game in the 1st round for Colorado Mackinnon played 25 minutews

The coach for the Avs couldn't find Tavares on his bench...it was either put out Mackinnon again..............or Kerfoot.

oh, I thought once you waived it you were free to be moved.

Seattle probably wouldn't take him anyways.
- Garnie

That's what makes it such a big ouchie:

No way in hell Seattle takes him, but you are forced to burn one "protection spot" on him.

Unless, of course, he slips and falls on the dock of Robidas Island.

I'm guessing he said "Auston still got some baby fat on him, and around the :45 sec mark of his shift he's huffing and puffing on the way to the bench"

Agreed. Also, when you obsess over "Line-Matching", you are allowing the opposition tp always dictate your game plan. He's coaching the Leafs like they are a 1st year expansion team (Not Vegas).

You have more depth upfront than any team and so much starpwer. Use it.o

When Babs golfs, he probably hits 4-iron off the tee a lot.

too damn funny, I do this if I am on a tough course.

I sometimes think just a 4 iron, pitching wedge and putter and I would be a better player.

Nope. And surprisingly does not tuck in his shirt - for shame.

That’s some hard hitting research right there. Nicely done

We can debate the wisdom of signing Tavares, or the Matthews contract or giving up a first to get away from the Marleau final year...

It find it interesting that the Leafs now have almost no horrible contracts. There *may* be slight overpayments but they are for young payers.

The only contract you could seriously question is Ceci. I still think that is a head-scratcher. Why not let him go to arbitration, let him walk away, sign Marner, and pick up a Dman off the scrap heap. At the very least sign him to bonus heavy contract to make a trade somewhat easier.

The only answer is that the Leafs appear to think Ceci offers real value at 4.5. I have no idea what they are basing that on. By anything I have seen he is no better than the September dumpster dive-ees.

So Dubas gets full marks for fixing an enormous problem. It looks like he was just one big question mark away from pretty much a perfect off-season

so far.
- Aetherial

I think there's 2 reasons for it.

1) They probably think that Ceci is better than what he's been in Ottawa, so they have no problem giving him one year to see if they're correct.

2) They gave him that much because it gets the CAP exactly where they want it to be to get Marner in at the number he should be at (or close to).

That's how I see it at least.

Or Chuck.

In Mike's defence, TSN hasn't written an article yet on the subject that he can plagiarize.

I am in love with your second thought.

Yuo. Mckinnon was getting 25 minutes for Colorado. Seeing Gauthier taking shifts in that 3rd period was hilarious.
- RogerRoeper

It's almost like the Leafs were a much deeper team than the one line Avalanche were.

Well, let's not start sucking each other's Richards just yet.
