If you were to spend the 10 minutes to listen to the interview, the question was where will Max Domi and Willy play this year
Do you guys realize Willy is a cherry picker, that doesn’t work at center
Brand new team…. rrrright? right? RIGHT????
Domi and Marner on Matthews' line would be the path to Mathews hitting 80 lol
So, I get the impression we leaf fans are being cultivated to expect another Marner contract. If Marner signs mid-season and they again don’t have playoff success. How are fan going to feel if he gets a no-movement clause, which seems par-for-the -course which the Shanaplan?
Have they not learned
Marner was never tried at center because he was most effective on either Tavares or Matthews wing.
Matthews needs a winger to drive the play for him. That can be Domi now, and Marner can be put at center BUT is that the commitment you want to give a player on an expiring contract?
Nylander at centre has been tried. It has failed because he isn’t defensively sound as he should be. He’s also the type of player to disappear after being paid than one who needs to prove himself, so if the contract talks included him moving to centre to get that type of money, the Leafs made a blunder.
I’m not sure it’s failed vs it’s been abandoned before the ability to fully evaluate.
Love that ice cream truck in the desert comment, lol. So true.
You know it’s almost hockey season when you get your annual trying Nylander at center conversion.
Run it back (again) and then try Nylander at center (again). This hockey club is literally insane.
Domi Matthews Marner
Patches Nylander Nylander
Knies Tavares Cowan
McMann Minten Robertson
Dewar
Rielly Tanev
Benoit McCabe
OEL Hakkenpa
Webber
Trade Liljegren, Timmins, Kampf, and Jarnkrok for picks. Use the cap space to sign Patches and Alex Nylander.
"We did this thing and it failed… BUT THIS TIME" – summary of the last decade of the Leafs
He sucks at defence. Being at centre will not work for Willy
why haven't they tried mitchy at centre he played centre in the OHL for the knights and he is so much better at defence
If Willie is going to play center this season, he MUST improve his defensive play! To be a complete 200 foot player like Auston #34, Willie needs to be defensive – minded, when he does not, possess the puck? GO LEAFS GO!!!!
