Hearing the #leafs will send Matthew Knies to the AHL Marlies in a paper transaction today to preserve some flexibility down the stretch, if needed.

They're not worthless. But what they are, is passive. Add Marner and JT to that, too.

Why are you changing? That doesn't mean they don't or aren't the horses to win. Being passive is a lot different than being talent/skilled enough to win. You do anything to to make yourself miserable and to try and bring down anyone else's positivity towards the leafs.

Youre having your own conversations in your own head about things I wasn't even discussing. Let me know how much face punching Crosby and Kessel did on their way to 2 cups. Both are passive.

I haven't changed at all. I never said the core four were bad players. What I have said consistently all along is that they are all too similar in temperament - passivity. They are, and will continue to be unable to elevate and perform when the game gets truly competitive and downright vicious. Talent and skill are not enough.

(Btw, Sidney Crosby is ANYTHING but passive. Your take on Crosby reveals a lot about your lack of understanding of the game.)

One of my buddy's suggested that, too.

Would be a good guy to get to up the beef in the lineup, for sure.

Holy poop. Forgot he got that extension.

I retract my previous acceptance of his acquisition.

The way Bert, Domi and The Grim Reaver have been lately, and the additions of Beniot, Boosh, Edmundson, adding Tom Wilson to the top line for the playoffs would be spectacular!

Wilson, Matthews, Marner
Bert, Domi, Nylander
Knies, Tavares, Jarkrok

Sign me up for that top 9!
