crosby, ovechkin, mcdavid. That is all for generational

I have no problem calling a 100pt player elite, after he gets 100 points. He also has to log minimum (1) point per game season in his career. Aw wtf, I said I wouldn't debate semantics

I think 100 pts is very good, but to be elite you need to meet or exceed the top guys in the league.

no we're not, that was my point. elite is arbitrary, so why get so upset about it?
- BestRapperAlive

If a person reaches 100pts consistently....I'd say elite.

Babcock on Nylander ignoring the negativity.

“That’s what the country music channel is for and the hunting channel. Wild TV 393, it’s dialed in. They never talk about hockey once. Honest to God it’s unbelievable. Beautiful animals, mountains, hiking, fishing. Thing of beauty.”

I can’t see a 22 year old tuning that stuff out. He should but I doubt it.

I believe only 3 players had 100pts or more last season.

1 the year before.

The roomer was that when Tiger Woods' world turned to poop, he just hid in his house, eating cereal, watching the cartoon channel - because it was the only channel on earth that wasn't talking about Tiger Woods.

Two things that are frightening:

1) what you kind find on the interwebz with a few keystrokes; and

2) the fact I can remember he ate cereal.

Babcock clearly has a handle on what young adults these days love.

I don't know who that kid is, but he needs to get braces before he's off his parents' dental plan.

That wasn't an NHL team with NHL players, NHL competition and NHL trainers.

I'm not excusing him, because he knows what it takes. He had trained the previous year; he knew what to do, or who to get to help him if he wasn't in tip top shape.

His game-level was basically training with a team lower than AHL calibre, so he sure looked good to them. But nowhere near NHL-level. And again, once you have NHL-level athletes in mid-season form, you are so far behind them, it's a big hill to climb. Just about every hold out in history has royally sucked for a prolonged period.

Bottom line: I'm trying to be patient with him, but am not impressed by his performance on or off the ice.

I sincerely hope that Babcock, recognized lover of "gud pros", chooses to sit HoldoutLander's ass in the press box when Hyman draws back in....

But this year, there are potentially more than 10 players who will do it. Now it's like EVERYONE is doing it. It's more elite not to get 100 points.

Well, they are moving Nylander to the Kadri/Marleau line again, and moving Matthews to the 2nd PP unit. So . . .

I'm sure someone already posted this, but Babs finally made PP adjustments.

PP1: Marleau, Matthews, Nylander, Johnsson and Gardiner.

PP1a: Kapanen, Tavares, Marner, Kadri and Rielly.

Let's hope it gets our PP rolling again.

Dubas is in russia looking at a centre. Is he thinking of moving kadri? Last yr 10 centres in the nhl scored 30 goals the leafs have 3 on thier team. Although leafs wont be able to replace him st 4.5 mill. And 4yrs left .it makes him very valuable.if marner and Mathews get more than 22 mil combined and we nedd two solid defense the writing is on the wall.nylander and kadri plus that 1st could bring in those 2 defense. If nylander is involed it wont happen before july 1st
