Are we even surprised at this point?CarltonTheBear said:https://twitter.com/dalter/status/1595871983253815296
Out week to week.
Simmonds isn't an answer for Reaves. Let Robertson/Malgin play. I would put Malgin with JT. Give him a shot. Kerfoot can stay on the 3rd/4th linelouisstamos said:I mean - I get that Minny just traded for Ryan Reaves, so they probably want an "answer" in the lineup...but...enh.

If that's what's happening here...It just maybe getting Simmonds into a game because he's not playing with the MarliesL K said:Guilt Trip said:Simmonds isn't an answer for Reaves.

Simmonds isnt' an answer for Reaves and the Leafs need to stop playing to their opponents. We play down to bad teams. Play up against better teams and wilt in pressure situations. Letting Ryan Reaves dictate lineup decisions is dumb.

I was looking at Knies and it looks like his production is pretty similar to last year. What are the odds that he would make the team if he signs late in the year?
Could we end up seeing a scenario where a Kerfoot trade could have the Leafs adding a forward and a defenseman at the deadline?

Having more mobility back there also doesn?t hurt as long as we are not stuck getting cycled into the ice.

This is the kind of regular season ?grind? the Leafs haven?t really had to work through I feel? Load of top 4 defence men out long term at the same time. Top player not quite producing at his all star like levels of goal scoring. Lots of time for the third string goalie.
The regular season has just been easy the last few years. Hopefully this is that little bit of struggle that will pay off down the line.

I understand some of the arguments for keeping Robertson on the NHL roster, even if he isn't playing. And for say a typical 21-year old prospect like him they might make a little more sense.
Robertson though, for various reasons, has played a grand total of 78 professional hockey games since the 2020/21 season. He hasn't played more than 38 games in his first or second professional season. And if things keep up that'll likely be 3 straight seasons below that number.
I just don't see how that's beneficial. If the coaches on the Marlies are throwing their hands in the air and saying "we can't do anything with him anymore" then that's more of an issue with them.
