  1. Do not trade Matthew Knies. He’s a power forward with hands that can score, hit and fight. Future captain.

  2. Marner didn't "lose his guy", he had two guys. It was Matthews who allowed Stone to move open into the slot and Marner had to try and cover both, which he almost did.

  3. Guys.. RIELLY is a plug tgat needs traded end of story.. aweful contract and the faxt tyat we are still having this conversatuon avout finding him a parnter was old 2 years ago.

  4. Why do u keep saying Reavo wont play in the playoffs? You said that last year too… hes a big body that hits hard.. dumb to think that imo

  5. To be somewhat fair to the leafs they've played two home games since Jan 30th (it's March 6th!) and one was on a back to back playing on the road the night before, which wasn't much different than another road game. All teams have to go through parts of their schedule without an extended time at home, and a lot of games in a short timeframe, and it usually ends with that team struggling.

  6. Since i'm feeling generous of heart, i can forgive Reilly for his lacklustre play this year. Two factors that are really affecting him, imo, are being a first time father (no sleep), and secondly (and most importantly!) is his marriage to Tessa Virtue. I mean, even without a new baby, if i was married to her i doubt i'd get any sleep! I mean beautiful, smart, talented, articulate, world travelled, experiences galore, athletic, strong of mind and body, and on and on. To loosely quote Mr. Iverson…"Hockey? Hockey? I mean, we're talking about hockey? I'm married to Tessa effing Virtue and you wanna talk about Hockey?!"

  7. I was disappointed that Overdrive wasn't on TV this afternoon. Not one channel even though it was listed on my tv. Anyways glad it's on Youtube. I definitely appreciate that TSN posts them on Youtube.

  8. Not sure Knies “knows” how to fight. He’s definitely big and strong so, that goes a long way.

  9. Dude $13.5m is nothing. In about 2 years you’ll have about 30 players making over $13m in the nhl.

  10. to answer the title, yes but its not worth the amount that they would need to trade to get him. hes prob gonna ask for an insane amount next season since hes a rfa next season and the canes prob would want like a nylander + domi/picks

  11. Yea sure, you give up Marner, you get Rantanen. Straight up…

    If you just want to give draft picks and prospects to the Canes to get Rantanen, just ask yourself if you're a Leafs fan whether it's ok if someone gives you picks and prospects for Marner…Lol

  12. They have “no shot” if Rielly doesn’t play better? Spoiler alert: they have no shot anyway. They’ll be lucky to be 2nd in the division. Panthers/Lightning will take them out with ease.

  13. carolina has he worst facilities in the league as voted on by the players and it wasn't even close, you cant let guy get there and see the place or they will leave. spend some of the money on an upgrade
