Pretty much, yeah. He touched the scoresheets of 19 teammates, out of 32 skaters who suited up for the Leafs.

Reminded me there was a Knies to Kampf to Nylander goal and a Lorentz - Kampf - Nylander shift that turned into a breakaway goal.

Maybe that's what he likes -- manufacturing a chip on his shoulder 12 of his 15 goals were against poop teams (inc BOS). A comparable might be... Jonatan Berggren who hit 12/12 in a similar role on a worse team last season and signed for 1.85M for one year. Treliving probably offered 1.35M...

It takes time to shift organizational philosophies like this, especially when the personnel and coaching were organized around pure possession hockey for so many years (see all the prospects that have expired and moved on from the org). It was very apparent in the final Dubas and then...

Robertson remains the only arbitration case remaining, scheduled for Aug 3

Yeah, some of them are stupid at dumping, and not everyone was super committed to chasing. It will be very beneficial to have both a ground/run/chase and air/pass/possess game to flip between as the situation and matchup calls for.

I like this. Adds on top of the muscle memory too, which gives more overhead for processing. This is all I could think of when Keefe said “When teams play the Leafs, they set up the game for the Leafs to beat themselves”

Another arbitration avoided. Bobby McMann and Simon Benoit come in under this number.

Ben Danford drawing attention from Hockey Canada for a potential WJC slot PPP T25U25 kicks off after the Civic holiday. It is looking to be rather tepid.

Hyman had a bit of this issue as a Leaf as well. It also led to his body breaking down every postseason. Article in question: https://hockeysarsenal.substack.com/p/nick-robetson-development-pathway Spelled only 85% of his name in the url

Earlier this season (and last season) back to looking more effortless these days

Just give it to Willy Just reinforcing that slowly picking your way through the NZ/OZ with a mindset of maintaining possession just leads to getting counter punched off the rush.

Exquisite PR pivot

GPGAPts 77102535 He's bigger and older than Nick Robertson and put up more pts in this platform season, and someone the Leafs were kicking tires on signing to a UFA deal.

I don't doubt they offered long term in the 5s. Knies' agent is less dumb than Blake's. Or Tulsky is some kind of sweet-talking savant.

I agree on the Knies bit to improve the Tavares line. Nylander can be really good on Matthews wing once in awhile, but last season it looked like they made each other worse (to the eye) and Berube said as much obliquely. They're really similar in capability and when paired up they set the wrong...

I didn't expect a different outcome once it flipped to a Judge-only trial. Victims have such a high threshold requirement to be 'perfect', especially in cases like these.

This was the kind of deal I was hoping the Leafs would try to get Knies on last offseason. 45M over 8 yrs with one more ELC year to go.
