Depends on what happens. I don't think there is any chance in hell they rest Marner if he hasn't hit 100 points. I would imagine Nylander or Rielly would be in line for a "rest"," though Matthews at 399 goals is also one to watch.

Cap wise they can though?

I could see Marner getting a 100 tomorrow

How did you swing that?

Her work thing. Although the black forest cake was from Lale Cafe in Etobicoke, best black forest in the GTA btw.

Marner dishes to Matthews for his 400th goal, and Marner's first 100pt season. Fight to the death for the puck?!?!

only to have the assist taken away

Chicago says (frank) it, gives Marner what he wants and throws the picks away to land Knies too.

Oh man that would sting so I’m glad I’m typically incorrect hence why I’m saying this

Leafs could use a bunch of high 1st rnd picks

Matthews should give it to him and focus on the 500th goal puck

Nylander is 2nd in the league for goal scoring, he won’t be resting.

Why not? Is he going to score 7 goals in 2 games? Of all the main guys, he's the only one without a milestone or reason. Tavares and Marner are UFA's and every point is another penny in their pocket. Marner and Matthews have career milestones. Nylander already has his contract

Not right now they don’t need that.

This team will not be worried about picks/prospects for what? 3 years? Basically don’t give away what they still have now.

Because it’s his best goal scoring year ever.

He’s human and has pride. He’ll be in the next game because they haven’t locked down first yet, and he won’t sit the last one either.

He’s human, not a robot as well. He’ll want to play. He’s in his 20s as well, not his 30s.

Should probably sit Nylander and avoid the potential for the dreaded headache syndrome.

So play Matthews, Marner, and JT but tell Nylander he has to sit when he’s on his best goal scoring season ever.

That’s how to piss a player off that’s for damn sure.

I'd bench Matthews too.

But yeah, protect the guys who missed games last year.

If he gets pissy for that, he's a weak female dog who needs a wake up call. If he gets mad, good, use it for fuel in the playoffs.

holy poop another game I missed last night?

When is the stupid regular season over with... fix this bullpoop Gary.

It sounds like they want to fix it to 86 games

Do we really care who we play in the first round? What's better, a well-oiled FLA machine team in the 2nd/3rd round or first round? We have to beat these teams to get anywhere, unless we're calling the 2nd round our Stanley Cup.

If I could convince the NHL and NHLPA:
Start the regular season around Sept. 22, start Stanley Cup playoffs first week of April, award Stanley Cup by early June, hold draft around June 20, open free agency June 25-26.
You're welcome, everyone.

Listen folks, the leafs don’t have first locked down yet, so nobody is sitting game 81

So it’s pretty damn safe to say that nobody will be sitting the last game of the season either.

Cheers.

Yes, we do.

Ottawa 1st round. Tampa Bay 2nd round. Montreal 3rd round.

They need 1 point in 2 games against two bad teams.
