No Excuses No Limits! The mother fucking goddamn season thread

Kind of. Depends.

Would need the vast majority of those assists to primary, and dominant nerdies with hilariously bad shooting luck for it to not be a bad season

Goals > Primary Apple >> Secondary Apple
 
He'd mostly be a cockblock on a team that already has defensive deficiencies. His best attribute is always gonna be the powerplay so that's not exactly required on the Leafs. He's likely a net negative 5 on 5. Never made much sense for me at any salary.

Remember when Cherry was angry the Leafs draft Nylander over the strapping Ontario boy Nick Ritchie?

One of the all-time funny Cherry clips on so many levels.

  • The sheer magnitude of the quality gap between Nylander and Ritchie.

  • How quickly it became apparent Cherry was completely wrong.

  • Nylander & Ritchie continuing to get better & worse respectively by leaps and bounds with each passing year.

  • Ritchie ending up on the Leafs anyway but then being so shitty he got salary dumped partway through the first year of a multi-year deal.

  • Cherry angrily declaring in that clip “I bet you (Nylander supporters) think Ritchie’s just a big dummy”, and then Ritchie turning out to be, in fact, the dictionary definition of a “big dummy” in the NHL.

  • Cherry’s assumption that because Ritchie was big and Canadian, he was tough, when he is in fact pound-for-pound one of the softest and laziest NHL players I’ve ever seen.

If that is the case, then it’s pretty clear his motivation is to land one more big payout before his career’s done, rather than chase another Cup.

Which is fine (though I question why a guy with $115M+ in career earnings needs to do that), but he can go do that somewhere else, thanks.
 
From that Athletic Bergman article, he basically forced them to take Willy because he thought he was the most skilled player in the draft. They never considered Ritchie. It was Willy or Ehlers

If it was actually up to Nonis, I bet we would’ve picked Ritchie.

Thankfully Shanahan had arrived by that point, and he obviously deferred to Bergman and/or instructed them to draft for skill.

And it’s kind of funny how things have turned out for Ehlers. For his first handful of years in the NHL, he was neck-and-neck with Willy in terms of production. But as of the past few years, it’s not even close anymore.

I just assume the leafs were used to get the price because it makes little sense

Of course it's the Bruins and Bolts that have to ruin our party. Willy a great pick and the right pick, but then they have to go steal those two much later.
