Just don't think they need to add say, someone like Pears going forward.

Haaa I'd like to have my hand some and go motorboating

You didnt say nastier..to be honest
- systemtool

I think I did good sir.

Disagree. I think Dubas expects Vesey to score 20 goals. For the Leafs. Or the prorated version of it in a shortened season.

or close to that

Did anyone watch the Rangers enough a few years ago to see how he got to sniffing distance of 20 those seasons? Was it luck, or going to the dirty areas?

Everyone except Eichel was bad for Buffalo last year. Could be an anomaly.

This guy gets it.
- systemtool

People complain when Dubas does too much or too little. Some people are just not going to like Kyle Dubas. I think this was all part of his plan. 1st year: let's see what we have
2nd year: get rid of players that don't fit into the plan
3rd year: Get a very well balanced, deep team and contend.

Stir fry?

In my Elliotte Friedman voice...

I'm wondering if Corey Perry is waiting for the Leafs to clear cap space so he can sign the same contract Wayne Simmonds did.
- gergeswillems

That would be awesome. Picture a 3rd line of Perry-Thornton-Simmonds

There is no denying Leafs got bigger and nastier... but they also got a hell'uva lot slower... Enough on adding pylons..

And skating NR on the wing with Jumbo slow is not smart. Have Kerfoot between NR and Wayne.

Thornton has been slow his whole career and he’s done ok. He’s played with all kinds of players. I think he’ll be fine. He can still pass and he can still teach the kids and unlike Marleau he’s here on a one year, league minimum contract. We’re not freaking out.

4th year: Open a hockey buzz account after Shanny fires him and seek medical advice from Max.

Kidding.

The question is, will Thornton play 3C or 4C?

It's possible.. I haven't heard anything from Jake Muzzin since. Are we even sure he's still alive?

3C 2nd PP unit.

So then we'd have to move Kerfoot?

I certainly hope so. Muzzin REALLY wants to play hockey next season. But he's waiting for Dr. Max to declare him alive to play.

That would be awesome. Picture a 3rd line of Perry-Thornton-Simmonds

Looks like that little circle buffering?

So then we'd have to move Kerfoot?
- PatC80

To wing. His speed can offset Joe's lack of speed.

- PatC80

Who knows what the line up looks like. Is Kerfoot on the team?

I would keep him...
For me, I'd put Robertson with Tavares and Marner on the 2nd line.. Maybe put Kerfoot on Joe's wing?

Perfect. Add Simmonds. Then you have the tortoise (Joe), the hare (Kerfoot) and the sledge hammer (Simmonds). All good elements for a successful line. 👍

- gergeswillems

That's not a bad idea. 👍

My guess;

Hyman-Matthews-Nylander
Robertson-Tavares-Marner
Vesey-Kerfoot-Simmonds
Mikheyev-Thornton-Spezza
- PatC80

That 2nd line might get pushed around
Maybe switch Mikheyev and Robertson
Otherwise...... solid effort

- 21peter

Very good system.

So then we'd have to move Kerfoot?
- PatC80

Playing wing

Very good system.
- Zezel

who would've guessed

That you have a washed up can’t skate over the hill 4th line centre...

I’m pretty sure that’s what it means for your lineup.

Oh yeah...it also means that dufus and shanny have less than a year before they get fired and it’s time to hire a new set of president/GM/coach losers to lead you nowhere.

Not surprised that being the centre of the hockey universe means that our gravitic force draws in tiny pieces of garbage like you into our orbit. Hope you enjoy your stay, doesn't seem you're capable of escaping.
