I still think that Nylander goes if he doesn't put up some serious numbers in the first half. Not saying that almost 7mil cleared is a cure all but he could get them at least 2-3 depth players at more reasonable terms and cash...

But many may say its all about the cup this and they are holding all pieces until proven otherwise... I'm just thinking out loud now. Will shush

You'd think the D-omies would have fallen after the Werenski signing.

I love McAvoy and genuinely believe he could be the best American defenseman born, but he’s 21, hasn’t proved it, and has been injured. 2016 redraft is Matthews, Laine and then Tkachuk and McAvoy. And interesting question would be if your starting a team from scratch do you take the physical winger or the RHD?

Eh, Pens have barely had a first in last 10 years.

2015 to 18 no 1st but this will hurt them IMO. Their last 1st rnd to play is Kapanen.

You’re all lucky to be done with this. We need to pay the best American born D-man in history.

So, like the 500th best all-time?

Gauthier playing lots of shifts in the 3rd period of game 7 down 2 goals...

How many is lots?

Well of course it will but at some point you need to go for a cup.

Nylander will get minimum 70+ this season imo. Trading him and then spending 7 million on 3rd and 4th ,line guys is stupid.

That's a though question to answer as people will have different philosophies on how to build the team.

If the RHD is mobile and can hit and can put up point on the board -Salming come to mind right now for some reason! He's my man over the winger.

I agree - personally haven’t watched enough of Tkachuk to make an opinion and am totally bias toward McAvoy, so I wouldn’t even bother.

Well of course it will but at some point you need to go for a cup.
- RogerRoeper

Well I hope this isn't the Leafs version to give up next few 1st rnd picks for the run at a cup. *couch second round cough*

Tkachuk is the pick.
Different kind of head problem.

Why are you so convinced he is the pick? Not even being a Richard, just curious.

FIRE BABCOCK!

I think they win the cup this year.

If he's on Matthews wing for the entires season, I could see that happening otherwise I'd say - you snipped off a few buds from AA's plants.

- RogerRoeper

I beleafs that every year myself. Some Most of those years, I was truely in denial.
Their current/upcoming roster does have that potential for sure to make to the SCF.
No Kadri to get suppended this time.

When I saw Marner with Dubas today during the interview.. All I could think was " Look at that smug little wiener"

And i couldn't decide if I was talking about Marner of Dubas.

Leafs would’ve beaten the Bruins with Kadri last year. It was pivotal.
