    Willy should be wearing a letter for this team moving forward. Whether it the ‘A’ or ‘C’. Regardless of what your “uncle” says about him, he consistently shows up in the playoffs and is one of the few guys who really can handle the Toronto media well.

    Nylander is the most consistent leaf in the playoffs. He shows up, gets points, but more importantly he gets clutch goals. He is also becoming a leader. Too bad he wasn't available at the start of the series. Despite criticism of being weak in the corners, he's a 50 goal scorer next year and a 100 pt man. Best performing Leaf in the playoffs every year. He is the future.

    Like other people have commented here, he deserves to either have the C or an A on his jersey next season. Playing through or just after ocular migraines really is no joke and this guy deserves a lot of praise for his consistent ability to lead by example and show up when it counts.

    Matthews, Nylander, Knies and Woll are the new core of this team going forward in my opinion. Moe will be sticking around too, but we need to take the extra cap we get from JT, Marner and whatever else we can get to invest in better D, Goaltending and a few power forwards. Im not against the idea of resigning JT for cheap and have him play a lesser roll on the team, maybe give the C to Matthews or Rielly and JT wears the A and is a second-third line center. If we can get a few more C with the cap room we get, maybe move JT to the wing. Just a few thoughts. Sucks about the failure of this team, but it needs a new look! Go Leafs Go

    Excuses after excuses as top heavy will loose and especially watching Nylander coasting as if he was pushed from centre ice flat footed and rearing two total hip replacements. Non winning player here. Another example of hustling to the bank to cash the cheques after each game, being happy and complacent in being mediocre at best, along with marner , Tavares , Nylander stands with all four just like Mount Rushmore.
    A non motivated coach to excite these players starting the ot. A goalie who can’t play the puck with no confidence. A Brendan shanahan escaping from the spotlight, for years. Unscathed. And if you believe trevliving can fix this , good luck. Look into Calgary at the mess he made.
