Geno

@Ryan34011204 Nylander shouldn’t be the one fighting for Matthews haha

@GenoManager He's both our best player, and this guy. Reminds me of Kessel. Very polarizing.

William Nylander, is of course, totally responsible for this terrible leafs season and should be traded tomorrow.

@Guruelous @ByJonBailey C is by far the biggest contributor, he had his best years in Columbus just wasn’t healthy

@ByJonBailey A. Moving him away from someone who's more willing to pass him the puck (Ehlers) B. Not a consistent player from shift to shift when it comes to keeping the puck in the offensive zone C. Injuries

What happened to Patrik Laine man

@miniwheat_r6 Because he’s really really really good

@GenoManager why does he overperform his expected EV points like that?

@theXtwitt @OpenIcelit sj wins that by quite a bit but i could be realistic

@GenoManager @OpenIcelit Nylander for Misa, and two #1 picks. You think SJ says yes or no? “He’s one of the 5-6 best wingers in the NHL” Is that good for Toronto?

@SamWell54630455 i can see ur not following this convo well let me know what u dont understand

@GenoManager Ha ha. Where’s the defense?

@SamWell54630455 its not measured here because all models do a bad job of capturing it

@GenoManager Where’s the defense?

@SamWell54630455 even if he was the worst defensive player ever, he'd still be the best player on the leafs with this type of offensive dominance

@GenoManager Where’s the defense 😂

@SensFriendly they sure get alot of automatic 2 minutes!

@GenoManager “Soft calls” and it was a player removing another players helmet (automatic 2 minutes)

Saw the senators get 2 really soft calls in the 3rd period and was reminded that this team leads the NHL in powerplay time the last 3 seasons

@futurdgduCH 13th last 3 years, 24th this year

@GenoManager MTL?

@OpenIcelit @theXtwitt Nylander is one of the 5-6 best wingers in the NHL

@OpenIcelit @theXtwitt no for sure, just think he's overhated. Was an elite player for alot of years, just can't stay healthy

@OpenIcelit @theXtwitt Laine was great, just got hurt too often

@theXtwitt @GenoManager Comparing Nylander to Laine is pathetic. Laine is a bust.

@bitesit71 also a great playoff performer

@GenoManager The idiots who trash talk Nylander don't actually watch hockey. He's the only one who wins the Leafs games this season. They are Vancouver without him.

@theXtwitt i would trust prime Laine as well. Also the proof is that Nylander has been the only playoff leaf to dominate in every playoffs. Coming from a habs fan

@GenoManager There was a time Laine had great stats. Is Nylander someone who competes hard enough with/without the puck that you trust in a final-four?

@__aidanharrison @habs_burner this is his 19yo season i think all things considered he's been pretty amazing

@GenoManager @habs_burner Exactly!Demi does crazy stuff in practice that he won’t even attempt in games he needs to get confidence .

Whats a realistic expectation for rookie Hage? Its gonna depend on his usage. His most likely role imo is middle 6/top 6 with PP2. If he plays ~14 minutes a game with PP2 a great goal for him would be ~ 48 points.

@__aidanharrison @habs_burner its gonna be a hard process, but i think with demidov, those guys practice with him every day, they aren't stupid, they know he's better than all of them. Eventually they'll move out of the way

@GenoManager @habs_burner Whenever guys like suzuki/caufield drop their egos and realize slaf/demi are “ the guys “ or when coaching / management realize it

Don't think Lane and Cole are similar players. Both are pretty unique in the NHL. Move very differently

@habs_burner also would really help having a real shooter. I think Demidov's best tape on the PP has come with Laine

@GenoManager It could be, always seems buckled when he gets it

@__aidanharrison @habs_burner i agree I hope it changes next year

@GenoManager @habs_burner Because they run the pp through Suzuki .. he barely gets any touches tbh . Hard to be existent when u don’t see the puck
