Fine keep your soon to be 34 year old D

His playoff experience will do you wonders for the rest of his contract

He's perfect for us to help the youngsters along ... you're the one who needs a RHD not us.

If Hughes is in no rush to move Savard no team will care.

He is a nice D, nothing teams should be clamouring over. At all.

Wouldn't even want him at 3.5M.

Liljegren sucks poop and i don’t want him.

So idk wtf you’re rambling on about.

Goddamn flakes.

- Arctic_AARDVARK

I'm rambling about your BS take and your over apprazel of Marner.

I do concur that it is time to move on from Liljegren even though he's RHD.

And easy with the name calling as I have not called you any names that's how you start poop up for no reason.

See how he does.

Can always deal him at the draft.

well its an easy one to see why people are annoyed again.
Divisional game, Bruins, Boston missing players, were giving up 3+ goals a game for a dozen games not playing great.

...easy win for the Bruins

That's why I don't think Savard will be moving from Montreal and I'm Ok with that.

He's obviously nothing to write home about offensively but Hughes values him because he's reliable and he values the role he plays with the kid Ds.

I don’t know anything about Kovacevic.

Savard would have to have a chunk of cap retained.

Could Evans be a part of a trade? He seems like a 4th liner though.

- Santo_44


We've talked about Savard before so allow me to chime in about the other two.

Kovacevic is an interesting guy because he's a solid third pair option at a low cost. Won't get the Habs a big haul but for a guy that's not going to be part of the team (most likely) when they are ready to compete, since he costs nothing, he's worth looking at for a team needing help on the right side. Good pker too.

Evans is an excellent 4th line centre that can act as a "ok" option on your third line. He's good on the faceoffs and has enough skill to somehow play with more talented players and hockey smarts to not hurt you defensively. Only problem with him is he costs somehwat alot for what he is but he's a good guy to have on your team for sure.

For me, it has nothing to do with the loss.
Always been the plan, unless he gets the team to the finals or a 7th game of the 3rd round.
Time for a new voice.

Not sure if there is a deal for Kovacevic with Boosh added. I could see Tree guy being interested as he is 6'5".

As for Evans I think all contenders would have the same mentality and its not giving up anything of value unless there is retention.

Both are fits but I couldn't see Tre going after them, they would be add ons.

Worth noting Hughes has been Trelivings most common trade partner. They like to make trades with each other.

Thanks for the info

He's the flake? (frank) are you really so stupid you can't even keep track of the constant Bullshiit you post on here.

You said this you moron "So don’t go blaming Liljegren or Marner who you always try to crucify. It’s coaching. Keefe left it too long to get them playing the right way." and you got rightfully called out for your constant positive spin on Marner and Lilly's play regardless of what they do or don't do (like icing a puck on the most selfish play going for an open net when protecting a one goal lead or Lilly having a terrible game last night). All the while you show up multiple times here every day showing some weird hyper vigilance on anything remotely negative other players (mainly Nylander) does or that you decide to fabricate.

I am sure your witty response to this will be one of your go to sick burns like telling me my depends are full, calling me a flake or your new name to call people which apparently is "wanker" or playing your "don't get so angry" "I don't understand your rambling", "I didn't read any of what you wrote (this one is extra adult like btw) or "shouldn't we discuss my insanely moronic point of view on this topic".

You are almost as predictable as you are pathetic.

Almost.

I'm glad I banned your ass every time you broke the CoC and I think most people would agree this place was much more enjoyable when you were banned more than you were here.

Honestly you are the Lloyd Christmas of this board from this clip

Boosh looked good last night.

Analytical darlings Lilly and Brodie struggled.

Every year when things get tough guys like Schenn and Boosh show up in tough games and Lilly falls.

Its a pattern.

Please do not be like Sens fans, they have been saying that for years.

Just accept being awful and being awful until you aren't.

To be fair to Sens fans (and god knows I hate them) Their team has been seriously disappointing the last two seasons.

There should be enough talent on this team for them to be much better than this.

I mean sure, their goaltending has always been awful between the likes of Murray/Talbot/Korpisalo but disappointing still.

The NHL is a tough league.

Them and Buffalo look talented on paper.

Turning the page and being a good team is not easy.

Meh, reg season individual stats mean nothing to me in the long run and its not something i remember from a season (maybe in the short term)
Id prefer a visit to the 3rd round at least.
Playoff runs are much more fun imo.
But hell, id take both.

- Fakepartofme

At this point, the Leafs are not winning the division and will likely either finish 3rd or in a wild card spot.

Individual stats are a lot of fun and he's scoring at historic levels. I want to see just how many goals this cat can score.

Playoff success? Yeah, wake me up when it's the Conference Finals.

Worth noting ....Brodie/Lilly hit the ice with the Domi line a lot. That line has been dragging down whichever pair gets stuck with them.

34/26 get a lot of Rielly and Boosh so that pair gets a nicer night.

Lilly was poop thought last night.

And Keefe saw it too ..he was using LillyBrodie with Domi a lot early ...then midgame shifted the BenoitMcCabe pair over to that line. That line just is just so risk/reward ....cannot get the puck out of the dzone.

You've won ONE series in what? 20 years? ... with your current lineup.
Come back to me when you reach the Stanley Cup finals.

Anyway, have a nice day.
