@TicTacTOmar Big difference here is that there's 5 forwards on the PP. 16, 34, 88 across the top of the umbrella, there is 3 threats which I think forces the high PK'ers to respect all 3 threats. With OEL or Rielly up top, they can lock off the cross seam with less threat from the line.
@blow_kyle Totally, they don’t know anyone in the league, don’t talk to any players to get a feel behind the scenes, don’t ever hear from inner circles, don’t have a history and feel for the league and negotiation, bunch of outsiders they are!
@stewonstroke He won the Calder cup with the Marlies. Several of those players have either began to make an impact with the Leafs, or have been moved elsewhere due to "fit" and excelled.
@coreylandsberg Please, tell me if you are judging Dubas in hindsight? If so, why? Shall we judge Ballard's moves to assess the 2024 Toronto Maple Leafs as well? The Oilers powerplay is so good because Gretzky scored 212pts 30 years ago?
