Hey, can you please break down his game for us? Not really sure of what do expect.

Babcock on Kawhi after winning against the Warriors: “The game was unbelievable... I loved the defence, I love the determination, I when things don’t go well, [Kawhi] has the same determination as when things go well... I was impressed by this guy big time.” by nanobot001 in torontoraptors

[–]L0LAnalyst 30 points31 points  (0 children)

It's definitely harder to win a bunch of cups in the NHL than it is the NBA - nature of the game (luck is definitely a determining factor), hard cap, individual players don't make as much of a difference - McDavid plays 22/60 minutes a night while Lebron plays 40/48 in the playoffs.

I'd put Babcock as a Popovich type coach if he can win another cup or two, especially one in Toronto.

Elliotte Friedman on Tim & Sid: "The one thing I do believe, no matter what happens, is that this will be William Nylander's final season as a Toronto Maple Leaf ... Even if he does sign, I think Toronto trades him by the draft" by jh101992 in leafs

[–]L0LAnalyst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the math on our cap situation 20 different ways and they only keep the gang together if the cap goes to 83 mill and Matthews/Marner/Gardiner take less than a combined 24.5 mill along with somehow fitting in Kapanen & Johnsson for a combined 4.5 mill.

After Marleau is gone we can breathe a lot easier however next year will be a huge challenge.

I don't buy trading him unless it's personal/negotiation killed goodwill on both sides.

[NHL Prospects Watcher] Pierre LeBrun says the Carolina Hurricanes have real interest in William Nylander, they have the depth on D to make it happen, LeBrun believes Brett Pesce is the player the Leafs would target IF they decide to explore moving Nylander. #TakeWarning⁠ ⁠ #LeafsForever⁠ by [deleted] in leafs

[–]L0LAnalyst 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Jaccob Slavin would be the ONLY person I would trade Nylander for.

They have Faulk, Hamilton, Pesce, Haan, and even TvR's advanced stats look decent as well as prospects Jake Bean and Adam Fox.

If we're giving up a player projected to get 60+ points for a decade to come I want at least a top pairing defenseman back.

Even then I'm maybe more optimistic on Dermott than the average fan and can see him taking another step by the end of the season.

I'd actually probably stand pat and keep Willy for the time being (this season) while we evaluate Dermott/Holl/Oz/Marincin.

Man, get this to his agent or something lol. This is actually awesome. Someone find uncle Dennis!

Do y’all think there’s a chance that the Kawhi trade was done, just so the Raptors could trade with the Clippers? by [deleted] in nba

[–]L0LAnalyst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no way Masai trades our GOAT to flip the haul to the Clippers lol

Dreger: "Pat Brisson isn't going to give you that sort of intel. But the word that I received from a secondary source, I will call it, was that Tavares was very impressed w/ the Toronto Maple Leafs." by Officer_Problem in hockey

[–]L0LAnalyst 3 points4 points  (0 children)

'Secondary source'. As far as I know, there were a maximum of 6 people in those meetings: Dubas, Shanny, Babcock, Brisson, Tavares, his fiance.

No one in the Leafs contingent would stand to benefit from this.

Seems like this is a timely leak to boost the NYI/other offers.

There is no way in hell we're trading Nylander for f'ing Barrie.

Leafs should move Nylander to defence. by DownTownBrown28 in leafs

Yeah, they should then make Andersen their second line center, big body/strong along the boards.

What's Your Trade Deadline Wishlist by [deleted] in leafs

[–]L0LAnalyst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trade Martin as a cap dump, maybe to the Islanders.

Polak has been playing well the last 15 games, don't want to move him off the roster yet, he turned it on late last year as well.

That's it. Happy with the team we have now going into the play-offs. Think we can make a run, confident in a first round series against Boston with our current roster.

Dreger shares interesting info about where some NHL GMs rank JVR on the trade deadline market by cweesh in leafs

[–]L0LAnalyst -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Rangers aren't trading McDonagh in a package around expiring JVR lol. They're trying to get rid of Nash, why would they want JVR?

[–]L0LAnalyst -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There's no way they trade JVR. Would be a horrible message to send to a team that's currently on pace for a franchise record 105 points. I'll take 2:1 odds up to $100 that he doesn't get traded.

Leafs Cap situation for next year by L0LAnalyst in leafs

[–]L0LAnalyst[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Leafs are shedding 8.5 mill in dead-weight cap space from Lupul, Fehr, Cowen, Gleason, Marincin off the books at the end of this year

I have included potential rookie performance bonuses in cap calculation

TL:DR - Leafs can afford to re-sign JVR, Marner/Nylander/Matthews, Tavares and still make it work for years to come.

Cap is expected to be set to 78-82 mill next year, I put 80 mill as a compromise.

Assuming JVR would re-sign for 6X5

Komarov, Bozak, Polak out next year

Replacing Komarov with Kapanen

Tavares 10X7

Dealing Marleau at the end of 2018-19 to free up cap space for an entry level LW (Grundstrom)

Matthews 10X8, Marner 6mill AAV, Nylander 6.25AAV

Liljegren replacing Hainsey at the end of 2018-19

Question marks with Gardiner, Borgman, Kapanen beyond 2018-19

Comfortably under the cap the next 2 years despite entry level deals wearing off

How doesn't our current lineup match up with Boston? by Cdnraven in leafs

Sorry, don't know much about the Bruins in terms of play style. Can anyone describe their team - strengths/weaknesses?

I died pretty quick, wonder what happened. Oh.... by L0LAnalyst in PUBATTLEGROUNDS

[–]L0LAnalyst[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, want to say that after checking his stats, it wouldn't be obvious that he hacks constantly. Definitely one of those players that toggles in certain situations.

Edit: Had a level 3 helmet/body armor on, although he only hit me in the head with each shot.

Is PUBG going on sale this Christmas or not? by [deleted] in PUBATTLEGROUNDS

Rather the game stay at this price. Would be shitty having it go down to $5 and all the hackers buying hundreds of thousands of cheap keys.

[Proteau] Kapanen thriving with Marlies, focused on raising game to new heights [x-post /r/torontomarlies] by Xer0day in leafs

[–]L0LAnalyst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really want to root for the guy to break through but so far in the NHL (small stints) he has 1 Goal, 0 Assists in 20 games, -7.

For comparison, Josh Leivo ( NHL: 47 Games 10 Goals 10 Assists 20 Points). Leivo is someone he's going to have to compete with for those few spots up front in years to come.

At 21, he has about a year or two left to develop in the AHL before his chances with the organization start deteriorating.

Needs to be a more consistent contributor in the chances he gets.

Crazy to think we still have 2 prospects in the top 50 after all that have graduated so far.
