I’m glad they didn’t trade for him! Could you imagine going after a guy who has only one good season in what 5 years? Not to mention that contract?
All the boys got together and paid for the wedding!!!!
If he (nylander) not signing you trade him and Brodie and jarnkock , for lindholm, pesce or tanev/zadorov / peeke from Columbus plus Tatar. Thinking of a mix of those players
I would say yes considering the penguins only traded bad contracts a second round pick and first round pick that’s top 10 protected they also got a young prospect back pitlick who is young and has good finishing ability and they also got a third round pick back
No. The Leafs already have enough overpaid underperformers.
Treliving needs to get 2 more younger D 1st and 2nd line pairing with Size , Loads of GREET, and that have GREAT shots on net , from 26 – 28 years of age
I think Auston Matthews put $5K in Mitch Marner’s wedding boosta. Over or under? 😂
Can’t build a team with 8x10mill players
Newsflash….3 of the 4 you mentioned played every game last year.
Lol ol.. homers
Case of Molson ex…Go Habs Go!
Emphatically no.
1. Cap problems
2. Age of player (small window contract may be good)
3. Poor defensive metrics (bottom 1% of defenders)
4. They need a good defender who can play defence and provide some offensive ability
Now if this was at a mass cap reduction it might make sense by SJ did not want to do that.
Only way Karlsson would of made sense for leafs is if penguins retained 50 percent of his deal and we hadn’t signed klingberg
It was a huge non-move for the Leafs. Trade out Nylander and balance the team finally, to not be so forward heavy. Just watch. The Pens will be a contender again for a season or two. A lot of teams missed out on this player. This was a rare opportunity.
LMAO, No, the Leafs Stanley Cup chances actually improved by not getting a winger that pretends to play defense.
We don’t want Karlsson he’s too 👴🏼👴🏼👴🏼making too much money $11.5 million or $10 million 👎👎👎
When Karlsson left the Sens for Sharks, his numbers took a huge hit. This might be because he was sharing time with burns and adjusting to a new system. When Burns left and after a couple of seasons of being able to adjust to the San Jose system, we see Karlsson having a career season. I think he'll have a good season if he quarterbacks pp1, but it'll be interesting to see if Letang keeps that pp1 spot, if they hand it over to Karlsson, or the penguins run with 2 dmen on that first powerplay. Getting another player that could man the first powerplay is a good idea since Letang is injury prone. My prediction is that Karlsson has a disappointing season and finishes with less than 55 points.
Just about to watch but hell no we didn’t miss out on anything. If we added another 10+ mil contract I’d be pissed. Even a trade for Tavares, no cause he’s done the season after this one.
Yes they were just pathetic , oh well another 56 years I can hardly wait I will be 132 .
Not a fan of the Leafs, but you guys are really good… most Leaf commentators don't know anything outside of the Leaf bubble.
Hey guys, cool podcast. As a Pittsburgh fan, we’re not after a cup. Things were so stale. We’re just looking for some excitement for the next few years as our stars fade out until the sunset.
Awesome pod guys!!!
just cant listen to guys talking like valley girls. sorry
Leafs Prospect Rodion Amirov dies at 21 yrs old RIP 🙏🏾
Hey guys ,
Just a random question , take your fandom out of it but , if you had a choice who do you take , who’s the better player , Kaprisov or Marner ? PS I’m an Avs fan since 89,,, I like your show along with 1 other show about the Leafs , cause you guys are honest and not just fanboys, so you can be objective
No.
Awesome pod guys
