JVR, Wheeler, Tanner Pearson, Mike Hoffman; all better options than Johnson.

All probably the same price too.

My guess is the leafs will hand out PTOs like they always do but internally they probably hope Knies, McMann, Robertson, Minten all fight for the top winger spots

If Robertson even signs and doesn’t sit. He made be looking for some sort of guarantee which the leafs don’t want to give.

lol ok fair enough

I am thinking Knies will get one this year tbh

Nylander Matthews Domi
Knies JT Marner
McMann Dewar Jarnkrok
Holmberg Kampf Reaves/whoever else they sign

Rielly Tanev
ELO McCabe
Benoit Liljegren
Timmins
Hakanpaa (if he can play at all)

Woll
Stolarz

That’s what I’m seeing.

Aw, man. Don't Bring Me Down. We signed the Electric Light Orchestra on D? Those guys have to be in their 70s!

Suddenly Clutterbuck doesn't look too old.

I wouldn't and don't see much upside in that particular role.

He's more of a winger than a C and he's pretty small / light.

I can't see him shutting down the other teams best player in the playoffs on a successful team.

3C is a big problem for this team right now and will probably need a trade to resolve it.

We all know JT is the weak link,

- GalacticStone


Pretty sure JT was 33rd in points for a center and Top 5 in faceoffs and solid defensivly. Is he worth the contract no, is he a liability on the ice.. no..

He is a 2nd line center on most teams

33rd in points and tied for 9th highest salary. That's very bad in a cap world with a guy who is on the wrong side of 34.

He sucks balls defensively (doesn't PK even though he could win FOs) and he's always been slower and getting slower. He is absolutely a liability defensively on the ice, see the OT game 7 winner where his neutral zone D was horrible.

He most definitely is the weakest link among the "star" players on the team and he eats up way too much cap space for his production.

Dudes I'm loving the Brave browser for the many-tentacled advertising horror HB has become.

Other things that I've found rad lately - Soundcore in general, but even their entry level earbuds. I got them refurbished for 50 bucks and they sound as good or better to my ears as some 200-300 pair. And the refurbished one they sent was actually a brand new unopened one so I'm stoked!

My ears are (frank)ed from excessive decibels and I'm no audiophile so ymmv.

I'm looking forward to the next exciting chapter in the great book of Leafs.

All the JT hating makes me shudder. Taking the C off of him seems to me insane altogether.
