No Excuses No Limits! The mother fucking goddamn season thread

[zeke]

if Timmins is back then there's only caproom for one extra skater. so two of McMann/Benoit/Lagesson would have to go down, and at least one of Reaves or Klingberg would have to be in the lineup.

Or you can just send down Reaves or Klingberg.

 

[Preston]

I mean the obvious move is to push Klingberg out. I don't you are talking about McCabe/Lilly. Zadorov is a 3rd pair Dman, rental, that demanded a trade.

They aren't getting a top 4 D under control for him. They'd be luck to get a guy like that in a Hanifin deal.

Oh yeah if it's just Zadorov, yeah. But the rumor is they want Tanev too.

 

[Preston]

And as we all know, every rumor is accurate under this regime. So buckle up.

Oh Keefe would definitely play Zadorov with Rielly.

But it won't cost Lilly or McCabe in a trade. What did they give up for Schenn, a 3rd?

[Preston]

I just don't think the Flames will bail on the season at this point. So if a deal is made they'll try to get some players in return. If it's just Zadorov though, maybe not or just a Timmins type.

But of course Timmins is probably better than Zadorov .

jeezus gio destroyed him.

Old man strength

 

[zeke]

Rielly - Tanev
Brodie - Liljegren
Gio - McCabe​

would be pretty sweet. I'd still rather add a true top pairing guy instead of Tanev but he's a legit great defensive guy just like brodie so that's pretty decent.

Zadorov seems totally unnecessary tho and is probably a downgrade on everyone there.

Best Leafs Dcorps in playoffs last year probably woulda been:

Rielly - Brodie
Gustafsson - Liljegren
Giordano - McCabe​

Old man strength

He has to be in tremendous condition to play against guys 10-15 years younger than him every night.

He doesn't really say anything here. But I figured I'll post it anyway.

 

[trujaysfan]

Willy has earned himself a 10x8 deal now. Just get it done and squeeze Marner if he takes it and if not flip him in the offseason.

 

[hockeylover]

I don't think any of the rumoured asks from Nylanders camp are actually unreasonable in any way, especially given what he's doing now and IMO, he's consistently shown up in the playoffs.

 

[leafman101]

He’s way better than Meier and Aho (un)fortunately.

 

[manny]

Is he better than Marner?

 

[Cojo]

Is he better than Marner?

I think so.

 

[leafman101]

Historically no. So far this year yes.

 

[zeke]

the obvious question is "where was this level before this year, willy, and how can we trust you can keep it up?"
