The Fantastically Beautiful Joyously Superfun 22-23 Season Celebration Thread

[Wayward DP]

Third line minutes. Play him on the second line with Tavares and Mitch/Willy and see what happens. There’s also still 25 games left this year.

he's not good enough to play on our second line though. not like the opportunity hasn't been there for the taking, this year in particular.

 

[Wayward DP]

I don’t know about you guys but I remember clearly that Engvall was driving Tampa nuts for couple of games in the series and suddenly something changed, guy just stopped

dude is temperamental as fuck, apparently

 

[Wayward DP]

Can I just clarify something? If the plan is to bring in an upgrade, would you guys actually still be upset with moving Engvall? Like are your reactions based on them being done?

yes. if we upgrade the forwards overall by deadline day, wonderful.

if we replace Engvall with ZAR (and Schitt), much less wonderful

 

[MindzEye]

When it was finally all said and done, some of you finally realized how stupid a stance that one was.

Still waiting for Markov's picture with the cup.

 

[MindzEye]

G/60
Engvall: 0.9
Bunting: 0.87
Marner: 0.72
Lafferty: 0.58
Kerfoot: 0.25

I agree, we should trade Kerfoot.

 

[Habsy]

Still waiting for Markov's picture with the cup.

He had better runs at it than Kaberle.

I miss Markov. Would love to have him as a 25 year old with this club.

For sure, everything depends on what the next move is. The team is incomplete right now so it's hard to judge Dubas. Just mostly saying that they got worse yesterday because they lost arguably their best bottom 6 guy and probably replaced Justin Holl with Schenn; that's a two-fold hit to the roster IMO. But a lot could change with just 1 trade.

 

[MindzEye]

I think Jenner comes in to replace Engvall

That would be ideal. Boston's 1st + Kerfoot

Bunting-Matthews-Nylander
Tavares-ROR-Marner
Holmberg-Jenner-Acciari
ZAR-Kampf-Lafferty

 

[MindzEye]

The fuck he did

 

[hockeylover]

I really think we should wait til Friday and not get hysterical for nothing. I’ll eat crow if I’m wrong but I’m pretty certain the final picture will make sense.

 

[Habsy]

The fuck he did

You fucker showing me Bruins shit. I successfully blocked that from my psyche you drive by mofo

 

[Preston]

It's not hysterical to say that they got worse yesterday IMO. We're just evaluating what was done so far, hard to comment on what hasn't happened yet. The Schenn acquisition is probably an issue regardless (though not unexpected given Keefe's preferences), but the Engvall move could make sense in a hurry, absolutely.

 

[leafman101]

They definitely got worse yesterday. They traded 2 regulars for nothing.

but they also got much better a couple other days earlier and had to dump salary as a result.

 

[BG]

There was no reason to rush the Schenn trade, unless they planned to move out a defender.

Also, why no trades to today - major withdrawal here?!?!

 

[trujaysfan]

If Sandin wasn't going to be in the top 6 then really it's no change to the actual lineup.

 

[MindzEye]

You fucker showing me Bruins shit. I successfully blocked that from my psyche you drive by mofo

Kaberle > Markov

It took a cheap shot conky by Janssen to even make it close.

 

[mbow30]

beach muscle and no calves

Also no D, based on those trunks. Which prob explains it.

 

[Killer93]

but remember; Leafs are in cap hell!! !!!! !!!

 

[LeafOfFaith]

That would be ideal. Boston's 1st + Kerfoot

Bunting-Matthews-Nylander
Tavares-ROR-Marner
Holmberg-Jenner-Acciari
ZAR-Kampf-Lafferty

And ironically after all the praise of adding all the new guys without deleting a roster player.
