by Net Rating

Top-4 F + Top-2 D: TOR +74 - VAN +68
Mid-4 F + Mid-2 D: TOR +4 - VAN +5
Bot-4 F + Bot-2 D: TOR -35 - VAN -15

And by 2yr GSAx the goalies are pretty comparable too..

Leafs' 4th line just killing them vs any team near the top of the standings right now.
and the frustrating part is that this issue could likely be resolved without any trades or player movement. just different roster and deployment decisions.
 
one thing that's interesting about this year, despite our struggles, is that i'm legit not scared of any of the teams ahead of us, and i'm pretty certain a bunch of them are complete frauds (VAN, WPG, NYR especially).
I’m scared of us, not anyone else.
 
The Perry singing is fun and exciting but he’s 39 and the edge of the cliff is very near for him

He may come in and provide plus value but it also wouldn’t shock me to see him fall off
Can he match Connor Brown though?
 
need to bench il capitano

I'd be happy with just spreading the wealth among 3 lines and giving out appropriate minutes to each based on recent performance

Knies-Matthews-Nylander
Robertson-Domi-Marner
Bertuzzi-Tavares-Jarnkrok
McMann-Kampf-Holmberg

- Treat Matthews like the elite 2 way centre he is. He can take some D zone work off of the shoulders of the bottom 6 and still fuck shit up offensively

- That 2nd line can be sheltered and provide significant offensive punch while not being a tire fire defensively because Mitch is good defensively and Robbie is pretty solid as well. They can help cover for Domi.

- You now have a functioning 2 way 3rd line, congratultions. JT's offence seems to be failing him, but the nerdies are still there and he's a faceoff god. This line can do some heavy lifting for you. Not all of it, JT isn't that centre, but some of it.

- This 4th line should be kind of okay as a swiss army knife 4th line. Can take defensive zone draws in a pinch against non 1st units. But also has ability to move the puck up ice and do things in the offensive zone.
 
Tavares is still getting his looks, getting a lot of shots off. They’re just not going in. It’ll change though. This is just a fucked up stretch of bad luck games for him.
 
The Klingberg deal was a dud from the start but the damage is minimal due to term however Reaves is unforgivable

No compotent GM is giving that guy anymore than 1 year league min at this point in his career
 
Honestly think it's great that he's complaining - that should make it easier for Brad to want to waive him or ltir him now.
 
I mean are they going to waive any of McMann, Holmberg or Lagesson for Reaves?

He should probably just shut up and stay on IR before he starts having to take the bus to Albany or whatever.
