Presumably the one you know is Fox obviously. Gavrikov is a pretty underrated D who was a beast with the Kings the past couple years. Basically a better McCabe. Schneider is a good young physical defenceman who I know some wanted the Leafs to pick in the 2020 draft. The others... yeah I don't...

Speaking of how did a young former 1st round pick with 0 goals in 25 NHL games who couldn't even crack that Rangers line-up warrant not just a tweet about being available, but a full blown sportsnet.ca article? How much did Chris Drury pay for this?

I think their top-6 forwards are decent with Trocheck there. The bottom-6 forwards though, my god. I don't know if any of them would crack the Leafs line-up.

Nice little story on Harry Nansi, who looks like he's set to have a major draft+1 season. He had 7 goals and 23 points in 67 games in his draft year. He currently has 2 goals and 10 points in 8 games this season. He's also so far gone from 1.07 shots per game to 2.12 shots per game. Maybe the...

Steve Valiquette's about the only goalie expert who's opinion I care about (and OTH of course) and he's urging caution with Primeau. The Habs stunk defensively last season and Primeau straight up dominated with Laval when he was down there (21-2-2, .927 Sv%). Also put up decent NHL numbers the...

I wouldn't mind seeing Myers and/or Blais get into the line-up. The team has 23 bodies, might as well use them on back to backs.

I mean counterpoint would be all of his success in the NHL so far has come while in a 3rd line role. Berube himself pointed out at the beginning of camp that immediately throwing him into the top line here wouldn't be the best thing for him. I hate to harp on this every day seemingly but the...

Still really not getting this Domi at 3C thing. It gives the feeling of two 4th lines again, even if there's some better players like Joshua and Roy there.

On a whim I looked up how Hirvonen and Niemela are doing right now. It's early but Hirvonen has 12 points in 11 games in the Finnish league while Niemela has 7 points in 9 games in the Swedish league. Something to keep an eye on as the season goes on. Development isn't always linear. Former Leaf...

I'm starting to think Kaprizov did not in fact reset the market.

I believe ESPN is a good streaming option there, no? I remember looking to see if it made sense to try to use a VPN for that instead of Sportsnet last year but couldn't get it to work.

And this game is officially on Sportsnet One now. Not often the Leafs, on opening night no less, gets bumped.

Just a little over a year ago Detroit had to throw in a 2nd rounder to dump him on San Jose. What a turnaround (well, that trade was pretty much universally slammed even at the time).

Yeah I really don't get reuniting Domi and Robertson, especially with other options available. We'll see how it goes I guess.
