Babcock just told us Matthews will start the season as 3rd Centre behind Kadri & Bozak. And points out that Nylander will be on the wing.

Shouldn't he earn his place first?

I suppose you could read into the statement that they think he already has.

They probably mean to say the 3rd line is the best he start at next season.

Anyone else think McAvoy looks a good 15lbs overweight?

I mean I know they want to add muscle, but he looks a bit like a fat kid.

 

[Frank E]

Anyone know that Bruce Boudreau had a twin working with the Wild?

 

[Kin]

Jeebus, maybe Chychrun will be there tomorrow.

Knowing the Leafs he goes #30.

That's the pre-Shanny Leafs...

 

[Bullfrog]

Yay! They took Matthews. 

 

[Tigger]

[Kin]

Wow. Big move for Detroit and Arizona there.

 

[TBLeafer]

Well, Detroit just got in the Stamkos sweeps.

 

[AvroArrow]

Really hoping the Leafs can move up and grab Chychrun.

 

[Bill_Berg]

Wow. Big move for Detroit and Arizona there.

I was hoping to hear Toronto not Arizona there.

 

[sneakyray]

I'm going to hate seeing stamkos in a wings uniform for the next 7 years

 

[AvroArrow]

Really hoping the Leafs can move up and grab Chychrun.

Dammit.

 

[Kin]

Watching Arizona is a little bit like watching what the Leafs would be like if they let Dubas run the team.

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

Arizona really helped Detroit out there.

 

[Coco-puffs]

Really hoping the Leafs can move up and grab Chychrun.

Too late.  Didn't think he'd drop out of the top 20

 

[Tigger]

Bam.

 

[WhatIfGodWasALeaf]

Watching Arizona is a little bit like watching what the Leafs would be like if they let Dubas run the team.

I had that thought too.

 

[Kin]

Arizona really helped Detroit out there.

Maybe, but if there's any organization out there that will like a 7 million cap hit with no actual dollars spent it's Arizona.

 

[McGarnagle]

Well, Holland didn't have much problem fixing that hiccup.
