The signing of Patrick Marleau in Toronto

In this blog, I want to talk about Patrick Marleau signing with Toronto to a three-year contract. What I think of this move and how it will affect the team next year and in the next three years.
In my opinion, this is a huge signing that the Leafs will only benefit from. I was reading a couple of comments of fans that said that he is too old and that Toronto agreed to too much money but Personally, I think that they are wrong.  It's true that he is 38 and not a young player, but he still has a lot of skills and talent that makes him a dangerous player in the league. In my opinion, he still has a couple of years to play and to contribute to the game of hockey before he will retire as one of the best and will get into the Hall of Fame. I think that he is worth every dollar that Toronto paid him and he will be a great addition to this franchise.
I believe that Toronto will only benefit from this move in two aspects. One aspect is that they are getting a player that is one of the best players that played this game and will be in the hall of fame. He is very dangerous and always a threat in the offensive zone. In my opinion, Babcock should put him in line with Matthews and Nylander and then Toronto will have one of the best combinations in the league. It will be a monster and explosive one which will give Toronto a lot of tools on offense and a fantastic scoring line. In my opinion, it will be a line that all teams will fear because of the incredible talent and skills of these three players which will force their opponents to be on their toes. It will make Toronto into a great team which other teams will need to take into account and will make a lot of troubles for the opponent. Also a playoff team and maybe an even contender for taking the East.


The second aspect is that Patrick Marleau has a lot of experience that he gained in his 19 years in the league. He can be a great mentor for the young talented players who will help them improve their game and take the next step. I think that this is a great opportunity for the young players to learn from one of the best players that played this game and to learn from his experience. I was reading an interview with one of his teammates in San Jose and two things from the interview that he mentioned are his quiet leadership and mentoring. He said that he is leading by example and doing everything right, without any bragging and I totally agree. I loved to see him play and his attitude toward the game. I am sure that he will bring his experience and leadership to Toronto and also will be a great mentor for the young players. I was glad to read that he is excited to be a Leaf as he is a Canadian born player and also played for Babcock in the Canada Olympic team.


In my opinion, this is an enormous and fantastic move that Babcock and the management did. I think that he will be a great mentor for the young talented players of Toronto and will add another high scoring power on the offense. I believe that he will help the young and talented players to take the next step and they will learn a lot from his enormous experience in the league. In the addition of Patrick Marleau, I think that Toronto has become a significant threat in the league and I believe that they can go farther this year. Hopefully, they can reach the conference semi-finals and maybe make it to the conference finals.

Toronto Rookies and the 5 Years plan

This Blog is talking about The rookies of the Toronto maple leafs that taking the league by storm, during this incredible year they broke the record for rookies in a single season that held since the 60s, also to what my opinion on the future of the team. Toronto has a core of great and talented young rookies that most of them are barely 20 years old, rookies such as Austin Matthews, Mitchel Marner,   Morgan  Rielly,  Zach  Hyman,  Nikita  Zaitsev. I feel that I witness the birth of young and talented players that in the years to come will only get better and develop their skills that they have, and will take center stage of the NHL. Already when they talking about Austin Matthew, all the analysts are comparing him to  Sidney Crosby that currently is the best player in the NHL, and led the Canada team to win the last three Olympic and tournaments. All the rookies have great skills and speed that keep the other team on their toes and disrup...

Concluding the playoff and a look at the summer

In this blog, I want to conclude Toronto playoffs any my thoughts of what they need to do in the summer. Also, my opinion on how the need to look next year. Playoffs Toronto has lost to Washington 4-2 which most of the games went to OT, there were games that Toronto has led but still lost. I think that take into an account that for most of the players on the team it was their first appearance and Washington was the best team in the league, that it was an incredible achievement and they deserve all the praise on their performance. They played most of the series as equal to Washington, and you couldn't see that it's their first time in the playoffs, they competed hard and got a great experience that will help them in the future. I loved watching them play with the same passion and intensity that they played all year, Babcock made a fantastic job like he did all season to guide this young team and to inspire them every night. He gave them the confidence that they nee...

William Nylander

In this blog, I will want to talk about William Nylander which is a rookie in Toronto Maple Leaf. with Auston Matthews and Mitchell Marner and Zack Hyman, they are taking Toronto to an amazing success. But this blog I will talk only on William Nylander. He is being overlooked during most of the season because of the success of the other rookies in Toronto. But he has always delivered and a lot of times while Matthew and Marner were in a slump, he carried the team in scoring. He is doing all the little things that the teams need to get the wins. He also has an amazing ability to make the perfect pass to put his teammate in a scoring position, even in tight traffics on the offensive zone. He can handle the puck very well and has great scoring abilities that make him very dangerous in the offensive zone, especially near the net. I think that he has amazing skills and abilities that make him a star in Toronto and in the league. He will only get better and will emerg...
