No Excuses No Limits! The mother fucking goddamn season thread

[Feyd]

What the fuck possessed McDavid to sign a max term deal with them, I will never understand. Security is nice, but being chained to Edmonton guaranteed for more than a decade and all your best years...not so nice.

Imagine how salty the rest of the league, and in particular the Oilers, would be if the Leafs land McD as a UFA? Sportsnet would have to purge their archives of anything positive they ever said about him.

You have less than 3 years of imagining left before it happens.

The reality will be so much better than whatever we dream up.

plus don't forget we also had Naz, who was a legit top 6 center.

Also, yeah that. Could have easily developed Willy behind Auston & Naz.

This weakens your argument. If they had two top 6 centers already and brought in Tavares anyway, then obviously they didn't give a shit and knew that you add a star UFA when you have the opportunity.

Probably would have been better to keep Naz, add a top Dman instead. Even on this board where we mostly value star value overall, it was easy to see the downsides of signing Tavares at the time, even if the argument was fairly even either way.

But Tavares has turned out about as well as we could have possibly hoped - a 35gl/PPG pace as a leaf through the first 5yrs of his contract, and we did get absolutely screwed by the covid cap.

The kicker though is that he's sucked in the playoffs.

I think LOF wants to sex Tavares harder more than any man on this board i have ever threatened to sex, poster, athlete, actor, object, whatever.

hyper ventilates whenever the idea of Willy not being on his wing is ever brought up.

Maybe he just masturbates to caging pretty birds and not letting them fly and spread their wings.

Weird that I like the idea of our best players playing together.

It sounds like you want to teather the team's third best F to an aging lion of a man in order to prop up said lion during his last tour of duty and save him the embarrassment of looking like an 11M support guy

Regular season Leafs....playoff Leafs

Can't go 11f with Reeves as one of them so makes sense with Bert likely out for a bit
