@spittinchiclets I really think u guys need to take over the Minnesota State All Hockey Hair Team from Game On Minnesota, now that he’s done. Special feature.
@domluszczyszyn Tough to agree after living through YEARS of being desperate on D. A mix of homegrown talent and veteran cup champ experience is a good thing. We have a few expendable players who can be moved to free up space. A top 2 pair D with only concern being 4+ years away. Let’s enjoy
@13Leafs01 He’s 22 while the others are older and in their prime. He will be within this contract, and 1 point/gm+ avg each season = he’s worth it. There will be equal/higher paid W in yrs2-6 (Hall?). Contracts are relative to cap, market, age. All of which contribute to paying young talent
Wonder what Dubas critics will say about this one. Cup champ Clifford providing grit. Campbell WJ gold and Calder champ. Equivalent of 46.5 GP last 2 years on a 50-72 team with 30th overall GF..... 2.53 GAA, .923 SV%
@13Leafs01 But he’s signed for 6 yrs at that same amount. I get u believe goals are only what should be looked at when negotiating contracts. But it’s not, especially when building a young, balanced team. @ me when his contract is up. Unless u convince Dubas to trade him for Connor Garland
@13Leafs01 What I’m getting at - leafs have many young exciting players developing into all star nhl talent. Marner is on that list. I struggled watching 30 years of the opposite. The derogatory narrative from “fans” and the media is irritating. Sit back and enjoy. Things have come far
@13Leafs01 Yes those are them. Cros does have more G tho, u are right. Same with every other NHLer. We definitely need to trade him. Depth D are needed. Too much passing and not enough goal scoring.
@13Leafs01@Team_Keefe Oh Mr. Armchair John Ferguson Jr.. He’s a ‘97..17 guys above him born: 97,93,88,88,95,95,91,87,96,85,86,8693,93,90,95,88.. 2nd lowest TOI + 1st lowest PP TOI by 1 min/gm over 206 games! He won’t be highest paid in yrs 4-6 that’s how it works. Pk is very important in negotiations
@13Leafs01@Team_Keefe And how do u watch the game and not think his creativity alone is worth his contract?? Raising his shooting % and now 11th in the league in assists. In 10-12 less games.. he’s quickly figuring things out with a coach that fits AND signed for another 5yrs! Sounds worth it to me
@13Leafs01@Team_Keefe Strong Pk’er, 6th in league takeaways (oMg hE cOsT uS gAmE!). 53 CF% .. all for 6 years @ 10.893m.. and consistently improving every year. Assists create goals, but if u were Gm I’d assume I’d like Accari instead (18G, 3A).. That part of your tweet is NOT going to age well.
@StatTheObvious_ Experienced D, especially RHD as UFAs will get term no matter what.. that’s always the gamble in FA. Seems like a good idea to invest in the guy who’s been producing (set to have career high season at 30). If ur signing 1 of them for 6-7 years what’s 18 months difference in age..
