I went to the Philadelphia game: Macelli stood out to me as the ONE guy I noticed multiple times responsible for getting the puck up the ice smoothly and under control through the neutral zone. Of course, he's no allstar, but his value stood out to me relative to many of his team mates. Most...

I was at the game tonight. I was most pleased by Macelli. With Nylander out, he looked like the leafs best transition player. He successfully skated and passed the puck up the ice consistently last night.

An issue with mental health is not a possibility I had thought of but it would make sense. My guess was an addiction issue. Either way, zero judgement, and hoping for the best for him.

Wow. I am sad for that team

I am hoping for this: 4. From a deployment standpoint, I think the biggest thing I’d like to see is the Leafs using Roy to free up Auston Matthews more. Matthews will naturally play a bunch against Nick Suzuki on Wednesday night — and rightfully so — but at home, Berube should be able to turn...

This is sarcasm, right? McDavid’s contract would be easy to move at 16-18 million. People would make space. From McDavid’s side though, if he wants to win with a new team, he doesn’t want the new team to give up assets for him that could be used in other trades.

A third line of Joshua, Domi, Kampf? Sounds like it could be one of those 200-foot lines except bad all 200 feet...

If this was regular season, it would be a concerning game. No offense. No fun.

Nylander is now a steal :-)

I mean, obviously Holmberg.

With Kampf, I’m surprised no other team wants him. There is a ton of cap space around the league and though I don’t know all the 4th line centers around the league, I feel like he has to be better than a chunk of them

I feel like this group of forwards seems likely when the regular season rolls around (I’m assuming Cowan is waivers-exempt and no matter how he plays, will get sent down and then brought up when injuries hit). Knies - Matthews - Domi McMann - Tavares - W. Nylander Maccelli - Roy - Joshua...

im probably just not as observant:-)

Was that me in goal? The weird thing last year was that as far as I could tell, he looked normal. His shot just went in 1/2 as much. Of course, if that was an NHL goalie he was shooting on, then there is room for optimism.

Carolina did have a few losses on defense - Orlov and Burns (not sure how good they were last year). And Jordan Staal continues to age.
