[Artnes]

Isnt Hall a lefty?

 

[Preston]

Yeah and they're not getting him to play on the third line. He'll be with the big boys and it will be beautiful.

 

[Wayward DP]

Buy the dip Kyle!!!

they could write textbooks on incompetence. man.

 

[leafman101]

Yeah, but that's a ridiculous 3rd line. Also, don't think it really matters in Keefe's system with all the movement.

 

[Hoss]

Hall is a lefty and would NOT be on that third line...

He was made for that line with Tavares and Nylander.

That would be deadly.

 

[Wayward DP]

guess chasing Hall's one superstar season is still a thing. all the talent in the world, but doesn't seem to impact the team he plays on much.

I have met the guy and let's just say that the 'between the ears' component is almost certainly a seriously limiting factor...

 

[leafman101]

I'm not sure he is made for that line though. He doesn't play the best with others. Is kind of a way more talented Kappy.

Couldnt that be said about most hockey players or athletes in general because they have to devote so much time from an early age to the sport?

Hall-Matthews-Marner
Kerfoot-Tavares-Nylander
Mikky-Engvall-Hyman

That's the one.

 

[hockeylover]

I honestly really like that. Hyman can drive that third line on his own.

was quite literally thinking more or less the exact same as the bolded.

I mean it's not like I've met a ton of NHLers so I don't have a ton of reference points.

But man, Hall was noticeably... not quick.

 

[Preston]

I thought that about Bobby Ryan but in hindsight he was probably drunk

 

[hockeylover]

A fellow Leaf fan just texted me today to say trading Fred would be a big mistake and he's a top 10 goalie on any other team.

(No, he does not talk save percentage).

I don't understand this part. If he's a top 10 goalie then team doesn't matter.

 

[leafman101]

Fred probably is a top 10 goalie on any team, but he wouldn't be top 2 on a lot of them.

 

[hockeylover]

I don't understand this part. If he's a top 10 goalie then team doesn't matter.

"leafs d bad make andersen look bad" is his reasoning essentially.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

I don't understand this part. If he's a top 10 goalie then team doesn't matter.

Because our D is the worst presumably.
