Your definition of "doing well" is interesting.

McMann
Benoit
Jones
Gregor
Reaves to an extent

That's about 20% of the roster. I don't know why you think a team need to do better than that. They all outperformed their roles to push the team when they were needed. Any other definition is unrealistic expectations but that's par for the course with you.

If the player is signed off the scrap heap do you actually expect them to be a McDavid?

McMann is still an injury prone experiment.

Benoit is a bottom pair D.

Jones wasn't that good, below average numbers.

Gregor 4th liner.

Reaves absolutely sucks balls, worthless player.

my bad about the lime Jello.
I used it for Jello shots.

- dmnted


Oh Jello Shooters!!!

My men’s tournament team is called the Jello Shooters. Started as a co-Ed team we put into a yearly charity tourney and when that tourney stopped we just started using it for our travel tourney team.

I even had a log made up for a whopping $40. lol

This pic is from one of our trips to Nashville - I was shocked nobody puked on the ice at this 9am game.

Jones was good early on but he did drop off in the new year.
He did help the Leafs maintain a top 4 position in the division when Samsonov sucked donkey gonads
I do like Reaves, he not the greatest player on the ice. Getting him going on a heavy forchek on the opposition with some crash and bang

Reaves is indefensibly useless. He's been washed up since Vegas dumped him. No surprise they improved immediately after.

If the Leafs want a big cement head, go find the next Rempe. That role is extremely niche and is absolutely, positively, a young mans role. You can't have a 35+ year old playing 5 minutes a game, who is a defensive nightmare and offensively inept adding more CTE to his brain with every shift and expect to win anything.

A 60 point guy - at best - for 8.5 million for the next 7 years when he'll be 33? You wouldn't have any misgivings about how that might go?
- Zezel

Always said only with 50% retained....but would probably still do it at 25% and another asset on top of the other 2, maybe?

So, at $4.25M for 7 prime years....uh ya! (Some say JTs next deal would be more than this )

Or, at $6.375M for 7 prime years....over Marner at $13M or gone for nothing and the Leafs D then has a shot with some serious $ to spend maybe even G plus the Clarke RHD kid and maybe a couple more assets in the cupboards....absolutely.

I am of the opinion that:

Knies, Matthews, Domi
Tavares, PLD, Nylander

as a Top 6 next season and a seriously solidified D versus the loss of Marner, before he hurts more for one reason or the other, is a no-brainer if this team wants to win a Cup.

(and by hurting I mean: needed too much more money that Cap straps the team again for more of the same play or walking for nothing, that's the only two options I see)

He's a big old farm boy and funny enough he is a D man.

He is nothing compared to the guy you can't see at the very back in the slightly brighter orange jersey that you can just see a peek of but mostly it's his head.

He is so big he has to wear a goalie cut jersey with no gear under it at all.

Gentle Giant but he's a big big boy.

Guess I can stop with PLD now, unless Marner is going to Wash in a different package.
