Your comprehension of the subject matter of what you actually write needs to be reviewed by you.

Your accusation that I can't handle my hockeybuzz account was refuted by me saying I have done & do handle a business that employs people.

I haven't actually told you what I do for a living wienerhead.

And yes, my phone is a valuable tool that I use everyday.

can you tell me where I find the emoji that represents boring? or repetitive? either would work

He's a good kid. He isn't a troll.

I am sorry you didn't like my delete your account Haiku.

Either am I. The only problem you have is you don't like what I say, not that it isn't true just that you don't like it. Just because you don't troll, it doesn't mean people won't tell you you're a poop person & worse - as you have proved!

Why don't you just stay off the Leafs page because frankly they don't like you.
- joegreif17

We aren't on the Leafs page!

He follows me.......

yeah it is even worse, you can't have four forwards making that much.

It is also about WTF has Nylander done to deserve the money he is (supposedly) asking for? Someone is giving him very bad advice.
- Aetherial

And we know he never (frank)ed anyone over during his playing days, oh wait...

But the Leafs haven't won in 52. So... The Leafs have gone longer. And the Canucks have been in the Final this millennium, the Leafs haven't. Something something throwing stones.

So both teams haven't won in such a long time that it's kind of ridiculous for one to try making fun of the other for it.

It's like two homeless people arguing, and the one mocks the other for being homeless and thinks it's all good cause he at least has a slightly nicer box to live in. They're both homeless, one mocking the other for it is utterly ridiculous.

Oh yeah, and to make the analogy a little more accurate, the guy being mocked, at least had a house at one point, while the other dude has always been homeless, he's just a little younger and has a nicer, newer box to live in.

That's basically my point, yes.

I offer Letang for Nyander.

I've brought up good 'ole Mikey a bunch of times as probably being more of an obstacle than the actual agent. I've read several times that he is taking part in the negotiations. Why is he even involved? He's not an agent. He's just a nosey hockey dad.

I also could see Willy listening to his father when he tells him this is all part of the process and necessary, blah, blah, blah, cause he's his father, he trusts and respects him, and he's used to doing what he tells him to do. While he might over rule the agent and tell him to take the best deal on the table so he can get back to playing, he's less likely to try ordering around his father.

That's basically my point, yes.

I think the Vancouver fan brought up the cup drought first to be fair, which is why Winsix mentioned their own lack of a cup.

Personally, I try not to ever bring up the Leafs past cups and certainly don't brag about them. They happened before I was even born ffs.

I think it's a pretty dumb thing to bring up for anyone really, especially if you haven't seen your own team win in say the last 10-20 years. I mean, it's so long ago none of the players are even still playing hockey anymore. Are you really trying to brag about that great time you had 30 years ago? Just seems a little sad.

I offer Letang for Nyander.

This wouldn't be too crazy if he was a bit younger. He's a good defenseman. I doubt the Leafs would want to go for someone that old though.

Admittedly if they actually want a #1 in their prime or a young guy that seems likely to develop into one, Willy (especially unsigned) isn't enough on his own. We'd need to add to the deal for sure.

I don't think the lack of a number #1 is the Leafs' problem. I think it's just the wrong mix of dmen.

What's the budget for a Dman? You can't or won't pay for Nylander, is that because they have budgeted for a Dman as well as the other top forwards?

Something like that yes. Lacking a solid stay at home D man who can handle the big minutes & tough jobs. Asking too much of Hainsey

Cap space is tight. Cannot afford Gardiner next year & why i think move him sooner than later for need. Idk who they target or if they’ve tried but offence is the Leafs least concern. They are stacked on that point.

The problem with Nylander is the combination of him (apparently according to the media) wanting more than he has proven he deserves and the Leafs having too much spent on forwards while ignoring their needs on defense. Plus his deal sets the tone for Marner and Matthews. If they overpay Willy, it sets a bad precedent when dealing with the other two, more important players.

And yeah, I think Gardiner is gone after this year. I sure hope so. He puts up points but is just so (frank)ing terrible with his multiple costly brainfarts per game. Tonight was a good example of Gardiner when he forgot to take his meds. If they let him go, that's more cap space freed up for a more reliable defender.

I feel if the right defender came along and they packaged Willy to aquire them (therefore not having to pay him), the Leafs could find a way to afford them.

Hainsey looked really good for the first half of last year. Then his play dropped off, and his poor play seems to be continuing so far this year. Maybe he could still be decent if Babs moved him to a lower pairing and lowered his minutes, but I dunno.

Only shows the lack of good defensive D & why Hainsey wears down under the load. Yes i agree better suited in the 2nd pair. Zaitsev hasn’t played well enough for his contract. He needs to step it up IMO.

D are so hard to trade for & sometimes biting the bullet a bit is the only option if they are even offered up. The waiting game doesn’t matter much when nobody gives up good D for good value if at all.

I think this is why your team gets talked about a lot from non 'Leafs' fans. The team has so much potential & firepower it's amazing but it's an unfinished puzzle that can go a lot of different ways. Do you pay Nylander & set the tone as you say for the other 2 (I think Matthews will get & take Tavares money with good reason - hes a stud), but it depends on what Dubas has in mind on the D that's the interesting thing. Does he go big & lose 1 of the 2 or try & develop or middle of the road? I really think the young guns might all want to be paid.

On another note, how did the old Penguin Kapanen go in the top 6?

Agree 100%. That's why I asked if they have any idea of what budget there might be on the D? Just wondering if the young try & sign Nylander & Not take a big d contract or use Nylander money for that Dman - as an example Letang was put forward but he's got 8m contract - about what Nylander wants.

Just think, this might be a Nucks dilemma in a few years!

Do I take Petterson in my fantasy or what?

Too difficult to compare unless Willy had a shot with Bergeron & Marchand & 1st line PP. i find comparisons difficult hence not a fan.
