No Excuses No Limits! The mother fucking goddamn season thread

Too low for a player of his caliber and it impacted his trade value! He was traded for peanuts. A smart team capitalized on this. Leafs need to do more of this. They won't, but they should!

And Walker is playing just under 1min less with that rising substantially throughout the year. Not so different there. Not to mention the difference is in PP time vs PK time. Toews got substantially more minutes on the PP on the Isles, Walker got significantly more on the PK. PK = far more difficult minutes.

and agreed about it being easier to find value in a lower mpg guy.

That's my only point here. I don't know jack shit about Walker. I just want the Leafs to use their nerds to do what Colorado and Florida do regularly. Acquiring the big name is fine and can work, but once in awhile finding value on players who are under-utilized elsewhere is useful for an organization to do! And to be clear, I'm stealing 101s argument from weeks ago. It took me a month to figure out that I agree with him.

Liljegren is a pretty good example of this. When the Leafs trade him, I bet some of the smarter teams will be 1st in line. He likely has like no trade value at the moment.
 
Nick just finally starting to put up some counting numbers after 72 NHL games, but likely won't really breakout for another season or two. Needs an incredible amount of patience. I'd consider moving him for another RFA aged player, but fuck trading him for a rental.

Really no patience needed.

If they played him a solid 15mpg instead of 11mpg he'd likely be comfortably at a 25gl/50pt pace already.

I had what I assume was Flu A beginning of Feb. wrecked the whole fam. Was like Covid but the body aches were atrocious. Tested negative a handful of times so who knows. The headache made me think it may have been. The low energy bullshit sucked too.
