They shrink away from the blinding light of eliteness that emanates from the halo surrounding Matthews.

Ya, that one doesn't make a lot of sense to me. He's cheap and outperforms his contract - Leafs need more Jarnkrok ...not less.

4 great games of Bobby McMatthews shouldn't cancel out a career of consistency, agreed. He's a very useful player on a decent contract. Kampf...ugg, that one's starting to look like a mistake.

He's been good this year.

Since this year, but yes. It was always an 'ambitious" contract extension.

Did anyone see that puck go over the empty net last night?

I'll never get the Kampf 2.4. I like him as the 4th line guy at 1.5M but 2.4M seemed like a loss from day 1. Always going to be an awkward fit at that number.

BobbyMac's sniping but he's not nearly as well rounded/dependable as Jarnkrok.

Could play them both with JT if they keep the JT-Domi switch. JT always seemed at his best playing with, and elevating, meh wingers on the Island.

I see a 'bright' future for the writer...on Tanner's site.

Kampf is good for what he is - reliable 4th line centre and top unit pk guy. He’s just not good for the money they gave him.

For a player? As part of a package? A weird one for one with another contender that has a "problem child?"

I want to see Bert in playoffs. On the Leafs not another team.

I wasn't being serious, but my guess is that he would entertain being moved to another playoff team.

Mantha for Bert + Something

Glad Liljregren has gained his fan value back from Leaf fans. His actual value has always remained the same.

If he is traded this TDL his minimum value is Sandins from last year. a late 1st and rental Gustafson(3rd round pick) He is a RHD so maybe even a bit more.

Would be kind of a waste to bring Bertuzzi to help the Leafs in the playoffs only to trade him before they even start after a terrible regular season, I agree.

This being said, if he plays exactly the same in the spring, he's not gonna be that useful...

This would be awful

Once playoff hockey comes around Mantha is going to crawl into a a hole. We at least know Bertuzzi is going to play hard.

I really believe in him, leafs will need his forecheck and grind hockey in playoffs.

I understand the bit of frustration but I want to see him playing playoff hockey for the Leafs.

You have a player like Tatar who always shows up great in regular season but is completely useless every time playoffs start...its a different game and I think a fresh slate for the post season will be really good for him.

I think we need to potentially prepare for him not being a beast in the playoffs or ever if he's not on PP1.

No, the broadcast decided not to show that.


But i do want to see him in the playoffs.

....on the leafs.


If he sucks like he has all season.....we say goodbye

- AdamFrench

I'd put him on PP1.

But regardless he is not paid to be a beast, the beasts should be AM, Willy and Marner.

Just need him to be really good.

I remember thinking Hyman was a beast his last few seasons in playoffs, did not show on the score sheet but he generated a lot with his play.
