There's a guy on the Leafs that's being wasted at the moment and i think he would look good on the left wing. Thoughts on JVR as a winger for Burmi and Ehlers and what would it take to get him out of T.O.
1 point tonight for Wheeler tonight, don't get me wrong love the effort and hustle he is the true leader on this team but i just haven't notice him as much the past couple of weeks.
Agreed but still on the fence about Hamonic ,yes a veeerry good player but i don't want to give up on Myers yet. Again Burmi and Ehlers need someone on there wing , hope Wheeler isn't going into a bit of slide scoring wise but the effort is still there.
I can't see any way either player would accept a 3 year contract, no contact with buff's agent supposedly, doesn't bode well to resign. Ladd doesn't want a rebuild and wants to win now, that's not going to happen here this year.,
Agreed they would have to shed salary to sign Buff, think both he and Ladd will find out that the open market is not flush with cash for 30 something players looking for dollars and term
This will be the new norm as the new stadiums that are built or are being built are between 24-35k with temps up to 40k. Just EDM. and BC and MTL if they play in the big O will hold over 50k. I believe there is an effort to reconfigure Rogers Centre to baseball only.
Burmi and Ehlers need to find a new winger, Little has disappeared , Ladd is uninterested, Pardy should be in the minors or retire, Hutch not a starter, this is the team we have for the time being, i'd like to see some player moments but doubt it will happens.
The league has some serious work to do as tv viewership dropped 15%, and the product did seem watered down this year, didn't help the amount a Qb's that got hurt but the on field product needs to get better across the league
Don't see Chevy pulling the trigger on a trade for Hamonic with what the Islanders are reportedly looking for. No lateral type trades are needed by the Jets
Lets face it this team is full of average players there is not one player that you could consider a superstar and or franchise player. Wheeler is close Scheifele might be one Ehlers needs more years in the league. As for Ladd i think Chevy has pulled that contract offer that many have talked about, cant pay Ladd for past performances and will be traded at the deadline for a draft pick hopefully someone gives us a first. As for Buff he is troubling me at the moment seems to picks his spots when we wants to play and just does whatever he wants. Come the new year the picture will be much clearer and this team will probably be in last in the central and Chevy should rid himself of some veterans.
For all his faults you can't give up on a 21 years old defenceman that most thought would be a stud d for many years to come, sometimes you have to look at how he is being coached.
