No Excuses No Limits! The mother fucking goddamn season thread

[Aberdeen]

He probably wanted 11 in the summer too.

 

[Hoss]

I really would love to see Marner given the proposition of signing the same deal 11.5 (I still think it's gonna be 11) but the same as Willy for Marner... if not you trade him

See if you can get Drai somehow when his deal is up.

 

[Leafin']

11.5 is steep.

Fuck man we just never get a good deal.

 

[Volcanologist]

If Nylander keeps on being a top 5 scorer it's a good contract.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

If we had just drafted worse, we wouldn’t be in this situation now.

Not sure why they didn't just sign him in the summer. They keep doing this.

WE all know what Mitch will do at age 27 and in a career year. Be aggressive and sign him in July.

move him and spread the money on multiple good assets for depth

Kampf has been over 60xgf% in all 3 games since his benching, playing over 11min each game 5v5.

Granted, two of those games have been against bottom feeders.


But the 4th line with McCann has finally graduated from "bad/awful" to just "below average" now at 46.5xgf% as a line.

 

[zeke]

The 3rd line is at 66.3xgf% with Holmberg on it, but both those games have been against bottom feeders.

 

[zeke]

Update:

5v5 with Klingberg: 14gms, 46.6xgf% (~27th overall)
5v5 w/o Klingberg: 23gms, 52.6xgf% (~9th overall)

Still just good not great without him, but nice to see the sustained clearcut difference anyways.

We won't get back into elite territory until the 1st line gets back to nerdy dominance or the 4th line stops being unplayable (which may be happening now) or preferably both.

The whole "sign them earlier" argument only makes sense if they didn't also need a player and his agent to also agree.

Something is fucked up when the Leafs seem to be the only team that has a war with star players inking

Big AAV , shorter terms , huge upfront money and all the off ice money granted to them

Nate and Pasta had their team by the nuts and inked team friendly deals fair deals

 

[zeke]

i do think it's funny that people who were upset at Matthews short term are also upset by willy's long term.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

I’m not. I welcome it.

Only downside is it makes me feel so old that I followed this guy before the draft, have watched him for 10 years, and the new term would end when I’m in my early 50s. I mean, Jesus fucking Christ.

 

[Preston]

That Matthews term is almost perfect. 1 more year was the sweet spot. 8 is too many for me, especially since he's the older guy too. But not something worth bitching over anyway. That's minor stuff.
