I like it in theory, though I think it might work better with it being teams can't cross back over center ice rather than the neutral zone as a whole. Quite frankly, I'm all for the red line being the only line that's in play for 3-on-3. Get rid of offsides in 3-on-3 OT entirely - jsut have the...

Less play making ability and not as smooth a skater. He’s more like a better Jeremy Williams.

Just like I envisioned

In terms of xG, the Leafs basically broke even in Robertson's minutes last season - which is fine for a 3rd liner (not great, but fine) - but, does not scream play him higher in the lineup, give him more responsibilities (PK, PP1, etc.), or even guarantee him a spot in the lineup if he's healthy.

A rough stretch, for sure. Thankfully, the Jays actually have the best record in MLB against teams who are above .500.

Hopefully, a trip to Colorado can help with that. It certainly should.

Yeah. There's real upside for both teams here. Stephen is doing great in the lower levels of the minors, but, lots of pitchers have done that in the past only to end up being bullpen guys instead of quality starters. I suspect that's the likely trajectory for him. Bieber has a player option for...

I'm not sure I'd put Stephen at the same level of prospect as Cowan, but, it's hard to make comparisons across the two sports. There's a really wide range in what he could turn into. It's a good to very good prospect for a guy who has won a Cy Young and is coming back from TJ surgery - so...

Jays are apparently close to adding Shane Bieber, who is finishing up a rehab assignment where he's looked good. If he's even 80%, that's a great add to the rotation.

If Cowan is the antithesis of what Treliving is looking for, why did he draft him - especially going off board specifically to nab him? That’s just absolute nonsense.

Joshua, at the very least, will be a very effective forechecker who can chip in a little offence. He might not justify his cap hit, but he'll be an effective player and the Leafs still have space to make moves - especially if/when Kampf and/or Jarnkrok get moved. Maccelli is a bit more of a...

Wasn’t he in St Louis with Bérubé?

Welcome back, Dakota!

That would be why the math wasn't mathing for me. It didn't look like he was on the roster long enough for those to count as accrued seasons, but, if he was on IR/LTIR, that would explain it.
