Well, the silver lining is that Mitch is no longer in the running for an $11M contract.
I would agree. He had a terrible series overall. I've said it all year, he is not as good as Matthews. He's a bonafide star but let's remember who his linemate was. Without Tavares he doesn't get near 94 points.
Marner had one great playoff game, we needed 7 or even better 4 or 5 games. Nylander had one period and had no support (Ennis and Moore could have helped), Kadri (needs to go, anyone who can't keep his head on two years in a row is a huge liability), Goodby Jake (I loved Good Jake, tried to forgive Bad Jake) thanks for the memories, we need to keep Muzin past next year to mentor the new young Leaf D. Reilly stunk tonight as did Dermott, hoping for better playoff days from both of them. Zaitzev can go with Jake.
I want at least 3 new D on this team next year. Sandin is ready. So is Rosen. Hopefully Lilipad can play some right D. Surprisingly I would sign Hainsey to a 1 year deal and play him a lot less. He did try his guts out tonight, I will give him credit for that. Anderson is a great Goalie, getting better, a bad bit of Bruin luck on that first Goal but this wasn't our year. We all have to be honest here, it was a bit of topsy turvy kind of year!. Didn't quite feel right.
