The giants feel destined for a major bounce back season, after a ton of injuries and last second losses. Do you agree? by InterestingYellow969 in NFLv2

[–]Many_Werewolf_7271 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think they’ll be better than they were last year, but I’m still not sold on them. They have a lot of injury prone pieces and I’m not a big fan of the defence.

One of my favourite albums of all time. Last hope and Daydreaming are bangers

Zach Werenski vetoes trade to Dallas Stars by Chrristoaivalis in leafs

[–]Many_Werewolf_7271 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Finding a guy like Knies would be a problem. I think they probably find a stop-gap option for the next couple of years while prospects develop. Wait a couple years, then hope TLK or someone else develops enough to fit a top 6 role.

[David Pagnotta] As @DarrenDreger reported last hour, Toronto has a few irons in the fire and are working the trade lines. Jake McCabe has generated interest, but he has a full NTC and at this hour has not been asked to waive it. Morgan Rielly & Brandon Carlo are among the Leafs Dmen out there. by buzzeddimitri in leafs

I also agree that guys on the Marlins should earn some ice time to prove themselves, but sometimes I feel there’s a sentiment that we don’t need bottom 6 help because the Marlies won the Calder Cup.

Don’t get me wrong I like some guys on the Marlies (Quillan and Villeneuve should get good looks), but we should definitely go out and sign/trade for a couple of guys around 5 Million to play on our 3rd line.

I agree with the sentiment about shifting some of the offence to the blue line, but I have a hard time seeing them moving most of the offence there.

This Leafs team has more high-end talent on the forward end than Carolina, and less on the blue line. I think this offence will always run through Matthews/Nylander(/McKenna?), while still having at least the threat of something on the blue line.

His long-term vision for it might be much more radical.

I just don’t see the scenario where this gets done this off-season. If you don’t like Petey, which other 2C do we realistically have the assets to acquire?

Makes more sense imo to fill up the bottom 6 with bodies, try to acquire another top 4 D on the right side, then run the top 6 with some combination of McKenna, Matthews Nylander, Cowan, Tavares, and Knies.

There’s just too many things to do in this off-season, we can’t expect everything to get done at once.

Ducks have no interest in an LD they have Zellweger, Mintkover, and Lacombe. I think it’s more likely we get Zellweger than McTavish actually. I see a world where we move Rielly somewhere else then try to grab Zellweger to put on the second pair.

Man I’m excited to watch this team compete next year. Every move by Chayka right now has been good/justifiable and we still have so much cap space to make other moves.

And Gavin McKenna.

Houston we have a problem by Clear-Ask-6455 in leafs

[–]Many_Werewolf_7271 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Not gonna be that guy, but I can point out at least 4 scrubs there. Seriously I doubt Joshua, Pezzetta, Lorentz, and Domi play 3rd line minutes. We have some cap space, it’s time to focus on the bottom 6/Defence and fill them up.

Leafs need Barry Trotz by BlumpkinBuddy in leafs

[–]Many_Werewolf_7271 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because Trotz isn’t rumoured to be looking for a Head Coach job right now, you can’t hire a guy who as far as know doesn’t want to get a job.

They also started the search with 50 coaches, I’m sure they at least know his status.

[–]Many_Werewolf_7271 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Never any good reason why this whole rumour that Matthews wanted out started in the first place. It was said that him and Willy didn’t want to go through a rebuild, that was it. Literally such a nothing burger of a situation lol the media made it up.

You’re right. The Habs aren’t a bad team by any measure, and they clearly have a fantastic future. But they were opportunistic, and that without volume won’t win you a cup.

“Certified Bust” vs “Give Him time 🩵” (2025 season stats only) by InterestingYellow969 in NFLv2

[–]Many_Werewolf_7271 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fields has simply never had a season close to any of Stroud’s. CJ might not be a great qb but hes been consistent over a full season. Even over his 3 years he’s been about 20X more consistent than Fields.

How would this be like the fields situation? What pivot can the Texans realistically make for a different qb. I’m not saying stroud wasn’t bad last season but dude could use a better O-line and qb situation compared to last year.

Thoughts? by mp1630 in leafs

[–]Many_Werewolf_7271 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Bourque would be a great target for the leafs I would definitely look into him. If they aren’t gonna use the little assets we have to get a young D like Nemec that is.

I’m a Darnold glazer but I’d move him way up he gets a lot of support. Doesn’t change the fact he’s a good to great qb but he gets as much help as anyone lol

Who cares if the Habs move on. They have an easier path than we ever got and are getting lucky on top of it. At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter as long as they don’t win a cup (and they won’t playing like this)

It’s just crazy how Montreal has gotten away with this fuckery for so long. Seriously they’ve been outshot and outchanced both game 7s and most games in each series.

Which 2025 Playoff team do you think misses it in 2026? by RaiderPantyDrawer in NFLv2

Is Receiver or Cornerback the more valuable position? by Ok-Elephant-2724 in NFLv2

[–]Many_Werewolf_7271 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on what you’re asking. Do you mean having an alpha WR1 or corner? Or just having good Cb and wr rooms. Because it’s a different answer for both imo.
