The Mother-fucking goddamn Off-season Thread

I mean klingberg is so bad defensively he can’t play 5v5 but it is adding offense. So I approve.

They have a guy that can play that exact role, is younger and probably even play better d at this stage. I don't get it, personally

I think he’ll actually be surprisingly good for us. Should be able to rack up points that a hack like Holl couldn’t.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

thank god he’s gone.

His signings are comical.

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

Gustafson upgrade

Theoretically both can play, but realistically will the Leafs fuck Lilly yet again?

I'm talking Connor Timmins. Lilly can play d. Timmins is just a younger and probably better Klingberg. Klingberg is gonna block Timmins.

yeah but adding guys like Klingberg and Domi instead of Holl and Kerf is just so much more fun.

Less boring for sure

 

[The Green Hornet]

klingberg is a terrible fit. hopefully its not to high of a cap hit. probably means lilly is getting traded

Fair. It destroys the Tre only likes gudpro goon theory at least!

 

[zeke]

Tre loves skill and passed on all the overpaid grunt D.

Lol suck it all of you.

I mean dude came out of nowhere and played reasonably well, but let's not start penciling in Norris trophies just yet. Could easily regress. Always need at least 8-9 D anyway. I don't hate Klingberg, certainly will bring some offensive skill at least.

Klingberg was best in Dallas. And if you think about it, Toronto seems to be similar to Dallas...the big money guys have slumped...but they are similarly built I think.
We do need offense from the back..maybe Klingberg finds it again and uses the leafs to get a bigger pay day next year....which should happen with the forwards

I mean penciling in Timmins as a 6 ain't exactly handing him a Norris. Klingberg ain't better than that.

 

[Leafin']

I like Klingberg.

go balls to the wall with offense from the back end and get Karlsson now.

Reilly - Karlsson
Brodie - Klingberg
Mccabe - Liljegren.

Hyperbole, but there's no way you can pencil him in higher than 7. Too much risk of regression.

Yes

 

[Wayward DP]

Fuck off, Treliving.

7 is fine too. But again, I'm not sure Klingberg is better than that. Paying him real money over trusting a cheap kid to play sheltered third pair minutes is not something they should be doing.
