  1. Ive been watching all the interviews of the prospects , been funny to watch them get there first big league interviews

  2. If off ice makes them win in playoffs and makes the team tighter it does not matter if off ice or not lol you make no sense with that if winning is what matters if there's clicks and not a team bonding the can make the difference if he helps with that and they win give him 3 million a year

  3. So they go from not understanding why Reaves is there and how to use him to blaming Nick Robertson for getting injured from a dirty hit where the other guy should have been suspended . Knies is to blame for getting a rock bottom ? The Leafs are soft and Domi and Tyler while great adds are not going to be a diff maker but Reaves is . Ya use Reaves as a floater but pencil him in starting the 4 th line in games that you expect trouble . If Matthews is getting pushed around on line 1 ya throw Reaves on line 1 for a shift . He is only there for 1 reason so his speed or how he plays hockey does not matter because there is going to be a scrap . Doing this adds a little more ice time for other players but if ya want protection that is the price u pay .

  4. I cant imagine working 8 hours/day 5 days/week! Now u want me to take this non hockey player serious on evaluations?! What a joke! Made this channel feel so amateur.

  5. Reaves is not just a fighter or a locker room presence. Watch some of the clean hits he TKO's guys with. Better than Luke Shens work which we praised. He is the Leafs Nuclear deterrent. He instantly infuses more confidence in the top four just by holding a seat on the bench. He was sparsely used by other teams who had stars who could stand up for themselves. Our 4 marshmallows run away every time with that fake smile like they are above the ruff stuff. And arguing that the money is too much is silly. Minimum is around 800k, what's an extra 300k per year to a guy who will likely retire within 2 years, to the leafs who are negotiating in the + – millions for Mathy/Marny/Willy/Sammy? It's the free agency madness time of year boys. Everybody has to overpay to lock a guy up. See Justin Holl signing? Get my point?

  6. $9.5M aav … that's Kucherov money. Who would you take … Kucherov or Nylander? Didn't take you long to answer, did it? And that's the problem with Willie. You don't just pay for his strengths … you pay for his weaknesses, too. Of the elite players in the game, I can't think of anyone whose strengths and weaknesses are as polarized as William Nylander. Someone smarter than me might come up with a response to that, but it's going to be on a VERY short list.
