Decent
Lets go leafs 🍁💙🍁💙
weird
Klingbergen
HE SUCKS!!!!! 😵
Is he still any good? I don’t feel like he’s anywhere near the player he was in 2019
Klingberg sucks. Loafs wont make the playoffs
As a leafs fan I love his signing he is a good scorer may not be the best defensive player but can score
really nice skater and puck handler for his size also
This was a really good signing hes exacty what we have needed for awhile a defenseman who can take sone pressure off of reilly and help drive the offense from the backend because lastyear imparticular our defense was top 5 in the leauge at keeping the puck out but bottom of the leauge in offense and you cant win like that this day and age
I’ll take Klingberg over Holl any day of the week in my top 4. Leafs blue line just got better
So don't resign a very affordable Gustaffson? I'm utterly confused at this point. Treliving came in talking about a new harder forechecking team with a bit of nasty and ability to instigate and finish scrums. Yet, the team is factually getting softer with letting players walk and bringing in a D like Klingberg. Sure, a 4th liner in Reaves may be okay for a year with his 9 minutes a night, but letting Schenn, Acciari, ROR leave is a mistake. At the least, Acciari signed a reasonable contract that the Leafs certainly should have matched. I guess things aren't finished, yet here again we have running things back with the core causing all sorts of issues finishing out a competitive roster. And the Icing on the cake is Matthews and Marner now completely control their own fates. Dubas royally messed the club up. From the insane contracts of Am/MM to the overpayment for Tavares when everyone and their daughter knew the club needed (and still does) a 1st pairing D.
In case no one is aware, we are being programmed that Treliving will eventually trade Nylander.
He’ll play on the right point on the powerplay alongside Morgan Rielly. There’s still time to trade Matt Murray and Samsonov for Hellebuyck.
Right handed defenceman to replace Holl.
