Samsonov has top 10 stats. How is this a hole? Healthwise, yes. Performance? Not really.
- Aaron_85

The gap between goalies is pretty large. Leafs need a top goalie if they can get it. Saros would be ideal.

I don't believe Samsonov can steal any games in the playoffs. He can be solid, but likely not the difference maker.

- could you put up Holl's chart next to this, please?

A refresher for the trade market? Big week for the Red Wings. With how Boston, Toronto and Tampa Bay have loaded up, Detroit is again listening to interest in Bertuzzi. Ask is a 1st plus

.

Too high for the Leafs for sure

Edmonton isn't a major market at all. McDavid does have appeal though

I wish he'd posted it - he posts guys usually after a trade - I don't subscribe to his site (yet, but I've considered it; there are a couple of other more detailed nerd sites that I've thought about as well - but true to form, I figure I want to pick one, and get stuck on the decision!).

Anyone in the HBSL playoffs?

Yes go back to 1 v 8, 2 v 7 etc

go back to the NHL of the 70' and do
1 vs 4
2 vs 3

for each divisions.

The Leafs and TBay would still play each other in the format.

Leafs have a top goalie if you’re going to judge on actual performance so far this year. In the East, it’s been Ulmark and everybody else. None of the others have really been any better. He’s got better numbers (both save% and gaa) than Saros.

I can’t see making a major acquisition because you’re worried that the guy you have who’s been really good might stop being good.

Set up any format you like as long as we play TBL and then Boston. We can play whoever is still standing after that.

This format is good for rivalries but teams need to play each other more to work up a good hate.

I’d say only the winner of each division should get the guaranteed home start then pick the next 6 best teams in the conference.

Division winner with most points vs 8th in the conference
Division winner with 2nd most points vs 7th in the conference
3rd in the conference vs 6th
4th vs 5th

not this guy but the wife did make some nice blonde brownies to eat.

Can't get it right this time. Feels like a poop lineup. Had that feeling 4-5 times in the 'reg season' and lost 3 of those. I'm f'n losing in the 1st round
- 21peter

Man, finished tied for first in my division, but the few I lost (after the initial "how do I do this fantasy stuff" match) felt that way...and so did this. Don't think I'm gonna make it.

Tied that guy for first in my division. He was red hot (15-0 or something) until the end when he lost a few.

Looks to be growing.

Man, I don't know. With all the improvements made to this team, really going all in, can you really put it all on Sammy and Woll or Murray?

I've been pleased with how he's played, and I guess if Murray does return and somehow stays healthy despite wearing underwear with Red Cross on them for the last few years, then do you still really let it all ride on their shoulders?

That's a lot to ask. If there's some fear for me, it seems Sammy shrinks a bit on the big stage.... Like his first game against Washington. Admitted his nerves got to him.

How will his nerves handle overtime in game 6 against Tampa to win the series? Or in game 7?

It's been so long since Fake's seen a hole, he doesn't know what one is anymore.

He has been good for sure.
But
He hasnt been a legit number 1 in his career.
Hes only played 120 nhl games
Has playoff experience which is good
And has health concerns.
So not a hole, but a concern for sure.

Not worth trading for another goalie at this point. Unless its murray out.
