Filip Hronek

My vote is for Ceci

People truly underrate how (frank)ing awful he is

My bad.....said “underused” not “underrated”

Hard to answer for teams other than Ottawa ( can’t really name a lot of #5 or 6 dmen on other teams. In Ottawa I would say Jaros. He’s a young guy who shows a lot of promise, who loses a lot of ice time to plugs like Ceci and Harpur.

Brandon Manning

Is a good "glue" guy as well as a great "locker room" guy.
Isn't afraid to let players on the other team repeatedly punch him in the face.
Once accidentally took out McDavid and then goaded him about it like a jerk.

That's a top-3 defenseman in the early 90s.

Is he related to Kent Hrbek?

I asked the last time you did one of these if Tanner could have a non Leaf as an answer, looks like no. Before all the leaf fans go all crazy on me this is not a knock on leafs it’s just funny tanner knows nothing about any other teams. Why do you think he covers the least interesting team in the entire NHL, the team in Arizona, cause no one will know if he’s wrong on anything he says lol. And he still seems to make most of their articles about the Leafs.

Who said I assumed he did? Does anyone on here really care about anyone’s opinion? If you do, grow a pair.

Isn’t everyone in here? Do you think I come on here on my time? Lol

the real David Schlemko

Can't wait to see Dermott become a top pairing Dman in the NHL....

According to Tanner, the maple leafs are the only team in the league.

Makes the 1967 thing even more embarrassing.

It truly is a joke how Dave Hakstol can use Andrew MacDonald for 20 minutes a game with a struggling Ivan Provorov, who he still gives 26 minutes a game, yet glue Sanheim to the bench and skip his shifts. There will be times where Sanheim is replaced with Gudas by Hagg, which results in him getting the fewest minutes and even being behind Gudas by 2 or 3 mins.

Sanheim should take Provorov's place on PP2 and he does need more minutes. Regardless of pairings, there is no way Andrew MacDonald should go from 7th defenseman to #2 defenseman, just because he was put back with Provy. The new Sanheim-Ghost pair should be the number 1 pair.

Hakstol also refuses to scratch Jori Lehtera, instead scratching Jordan Weal or (insert Phantom here). Lehtera is a waste of cap and should be buried in the AHL. Hopefully Fletcher sees this problem (along with the special teams coaching) and brings in competent coaches that can make better lineup/ice time decisions.
