D Kubalick left/right wing, 28 years, 6'2, 2-way and hockey sense, 15% sh%, 20 g 20 asst average, NHL regular, [ On 15 July 2020, Kubalík was named a finalist for the Calder Memorial Trophy (alongside Quinn Hughes and Cale Makar), which is awarded to the league's best first-year player. He was named to the NHL's All-Rookie Team. The Blackhawks met the Edmonton Oilers in the 2020 Qualifying Round.[14] In Game 1 of the series, Kubalík recorded 2 goals and 3 assists in a 6-4 win. His 5 points were the most scored in an NHL postseason debut in league history]
I think youre right. Theyre not picking up Hakanpaa for an 82 game season. Theyre picking him up for the potential 28 game playoffs. Theres a reason theyve kept Timmins. Theyre 2 different stlye players. When you need a little bit more muscle on the blueline against a bigger team like boston usually is , you play Hakanpaa when you want more puck moving and otentially little more transition and speed against smaller teams like MTL , you lay Timmins. The leafs are setup right now for a 900k forward. which I believe is around what they offered roberson. after that add. They can still carry both Benoit and Hakanaa and Timmins on the roster. which is good because the leafs dont have very many defencmen in the minors they can just call upp and that can play in the NHL well. but they do have extra forwards like Cowan and Minten who could robably play in the NHL execially minten.
Minten and Cowan are 2 to 3 years away from being NHL players.
@@johnsummerhill8323 That's what I thought last year about Cowan, then he impressed me & obviously the Leafs in dev camp, Traverse City & was the last cut at main camp. He'd just turned 18 before the draft. He then took a huge step up in the 'O' winning league MVP, playoff MVP & top scorer at the Mem Cup. He's way closer than 2-3 years out. If not this year, then next year unless he regresses, which I doubt. Minten is very likely a Marlie for his 1st year as a pro & is likely not going back to junior. Wickenheiser at dev camp said this about Cowan "he's very close to making the Leafs". No disrespect, but her opinion carries more weight than yours.
@@johnsummerhill8323 nonsense.
@@bigdave8437 Quite honestly, they all say that. You don't want to discourage the kid. All I am saying is that he will spend this next year in junior, next year likely with the Marlies then we will see how things are by the time he is 21. To rush a player to the NHL before he is ready in all aspects, can really hurt his career.
Interesting take and insight
Klingberg was on a 1-way trip to Robidas Island as soon as he picked up a cold.
It's hilarious, everyone craping on Simmons and he's already been proven right. All he reported was that *SOME* people in Dallas were concerned about Hakanpaa's ability to play again. He didn't say he wouldn't play again. Just look at what Dallas gave Lybushkin as his replacement compared to what the Leafs apparently will get Hakanpaa for.
Simmens is MUCH more interested in being the news, rather than reporting the news. I view everything he says with skepticism.
Knies - Matthews - Domi
A. Nylander - Tavares - W. Nylander
McMann - Holmberg - Marner/Jarnkrok/Sprong
No way their taking Marner off the Matthew's line, Marner is twice the player Domi is....
If they get Sprong he needs to play in top 6. Back to back 20 goal years with only 60-70 times played each year with a shitty team . And he’s young he can be a 30 goal scorer in Toronto playing with nylander and Tavares on 2 line
I think Marner and Domi should be the linemates of Matthews. Put Knies on the 3rd or 4th line for now. Knies dominated the other teams by himself when playing with and against 4th liners. As for 1st line. Marner and Matthews makes sense, and Domi not only has the playmaking for Matthews, but will go int othe corners to get the puck and pick fights. Dude is like Bunting but with a bit of Marner playmaking.
Still don't make sense. The leaf medical staff cleared Matt Murray and John Klingberg. Look how they turned out.
Maybe they need to sign some new medical staff...
Exactly. They do window dressing. Hey we tried! 7th dman..who cares?
Both Matt Murray and John Klingberg played for the Leafs, it's not like they were signed and never played a game. It says more about the front office's willingness to take a risk signing players with extensive injury histories.
@@randychase305 exactly. If they are clearing a guy whos knee is bone on bone they must be under some kind if pressure to do it.
Murray and Klingberg were in better medical condition and it didnt work out.
I hope it does work out.
After watching them lose for 50 years, I dont invest too much emotion into them.
@@floridaswampman7648 Haha I hear you there!
I think Leafs are on a size mission, Sprong would fit and he has a abrasive edge.More size is better. As for Robertson, he looked ok when he played last season but i have never been a fan of his, i think the best for him and the Leafs is move him, perhaps to a team on a rebuild where he could play every game could use a guy like that and get some good use from him
We need more leafs on robidas island it's a real island
I'm surprised that the Leafs let Kieffer Bellows move on after showing so much potential.
I think Alexey Toropchenko is a perfect forward for the Leafs to target
Using the same logic many Leaf fans are using regarding Robertson Alexander Nylanders numbers look awfully good. Robertson 14 goals in 58 games Nylander 11 in 28. But I'd rather have Sprong for the playoffs.
Wily: Alex take the league min deal and we can do commercials together. You'll make more off of the commercials Alex!
Same medical staff that approved Klingburg?😂
They're trying the golden nights approach maybe
Same Leafs doctors that cleared Klingberg to play for the Leafs. Gotcha. This reeks of clown show desperation.
I guess you haven't heard of Robidas island?
I guess you don't understand the difference between a 5 million dollar top pair Dman and a 1.5 million 7th Dman that they want ready for the playoffs
Sprong is the best forward left now that taresenko is gone . I didn’t realize he scored 18 goals last year and over 40 points in 75 games . Last year he scored over 20 and almost 50 points in only 65 games as well on a shitty red wings team . He’s also 27 years old , he can score 30+ on leafs if he gets played on top 6 . He’s reasonably cheap too I bet you can get him for $3 mill maybe $4 at most . If leafs get rid of liligren $3 mill that will clear enough to sign him.
He's not officially signed yet because, there's more to this injury than we all know, there's a reason why Dallas didn't resign this guy !!
Talking about signing Alex Nylander makes me furious. Like we need another Willy with no heart and a lot less talent?? Not what the Leafs need at all
He had a good year last year. He would be league min signing, and could compete.for a roster spot. Playing with his brother might help to maximize his potential.
I hope they do sign him just to watch you boomer Nylander haters just lose your chit. 😂
Leafs will use the LTIR. Dallas paid twice as much for Lyabushkin who Isn’t as good as Hannkinpa so it shows something is up. The Stars knew about the injury .
Sprong has scored 20+ goals last 2 years and only played 75 games last year and only 65 games last year almost 50 points too for a shitty team
There is no cap room to sign any forwards of any use.
With this Golf 4 still together and contracts even got worse there is 0 chance of a TML cup this year so who cares unless Marner or Tavares goes away soon!
One Nylander is 2 to many
It would be completely ludicrous for the Leafs to sign Klingberg knowing he couldn't play. Opps it's the Leafs. They know he may not play..so what? He is 7th dman.
could alex steeves make the team this year? He could be cheap option for depth scoring
Also NIKITA GREBYONKIN had a good year in the KHL
Spelled his name wrong 😊
He missed the entire playoffs and the last bunch of games in the regular season. Not "missed some games" in the playoffs 🙄
lol no way he only going to get a million Sprong is good 20 goal scorer on a crappy team
Source: Nick Kypreos and Steve Simmons. LOL. Just win a Cup before I die please. I’m 44
Won't happen. This team blows up in 2 years. No picks next year as they fall behind all the others in the East. Their last GM was an amateur.
Get in line, young feller!
Stem cells bro. Stem cells.
Guy that big that plays that way with a bad knee , even if he plays I doubt he will be any good any more.
He was awful when he played for Dallas this past season…dude got blown by regularly.
@@Joe_Ma99 Idiot, he is a big dude, he's not cale makar as skating and movement goes. His strength is in physical game
Believe Pittsburgh traded him to Columbus Nylander
CBJ did not qualify him, making him a FA.
Neither….
Another Klingberg fiasco, great signing ….. lol
Goaltender, goaltenders.... it does not matter who they sign, unless they get rid of Samsanov they do not have a chance.
Samsonov is already gone
Samsonov signed with Vegas
This aged well 😂
Not exactly up to date are we? Maybe pay attention!!!
I want them to get rid of Brodie first.
Sprong over Nylander
I think having Alex would be a win win for the leafs and willy, I know when I played in college my younger brother came on a year later I definitely felt happier put up allot more points and was more comfortable and just had more fun out there knowing he was there with me
Simmons is a stink bomb.
