cue the: but he played and won the ahl championship as a 19 year old (or whatever), while completely ignoring the fact the Marlies barely played him, heck, they scratched him during the playoffs.
Nylander asking for boat loads great,$7.5-$8M!
Tavares signing, heck, a discount at $11M,great!
Mathews securing himself mcdavid level $12M, great!
Marner securing himself at least $8M, great!
All while not winning the cup due to that garbage defence, perfect!
No way they can afford all those forwards, and nylanders trade value is what exactly at the moment? How about a month from now? Even if he signs, he doesn't fix what ails their cup aspirations, he just further hinders their ability to get better defensively.
Dubas and the leafs should have tried to be moving nylander to shore up their d before the ink dried on the tavares signing.
Anyways, always glad to see the leafs falter

Whole lotta nothing right here^^^ Whole lotta bluster but not much said.
Please show me how "Valimaki has proven to be a better prospect in his draft year and every day since the."
Liljegren was 18 playing in the AHL. This year he is 19. He'll turn 20 on April 30.
