Yes. long rebuild ahead for tml.
I just don't like it when teams strip all talent and have no chance winning games, like Buffalo did last year.
Intentional tanking is

I forget who mentioned it on the previous page but he was making a connection between the 1919 Chicago Black Sox throwing the World series with a team no longer trying to win.

Let's just worry about the Canucks shall we?

Let's not sound like dorks comparing the leafs to the black sox

Every team that is not in contention trades away assets for futures



No that it is the leafs doing it ( and doing it well do far) it's a problem

Grow up

Do you honestly think that gutting 90% of a team is a rebuild?

Obvious connections to the Black Sox and Leafs. Every team trades away assets for futures.... every team? And to a level where you literally gut the franchise? You're not being truthful.

I don;t blame you.... you have suffered more than anyone. For years you have bent over and willingly taken it up the 5-hole. Why you continue to do so is beyond me.

And again... it is obscene that your coach makes as much as 1/3rd of your current roster.

Why do you care?

The Leafs are made of money and are finally using it to their advantage. Everything that they've done is completely legal and permitted. What are you upset about?

I get it, you're upset because the Canucks finally have an excellent opportunity for a great pick, but the Leafs (and Oilers) will likely finish lower and ultimately have a better chance of landing the #1 pick.

No need to be so upset about it. Lighten up.

Oilers r a rebuild
Sabres were a tank

Leafs simply a strip n outright fraud = embezzlement

Its a lie calling it a rebuild n call it what is BILKING while rebuilding.

You've been pretty insulting and I know you have been flagged multiple times already. Saw what you want in your Leafs room... but show some decorum when you are in other rooms? Sheesh. I would think you would know this by now.

Thats mainly because the "regs" in there are far more obedient to their urges to engage trolls. They have pages and pages of them every day.

I have not been in that room for months... I have no reason to, once you got rid of Phaneuf, I have no more reason to hate the leafs.

The broader question is why are you here? What is your purpose other than discovering (with the help of as_I_see_it) that we wer4e discussing the grotesque tear down the leafs are currently engaged in.

What else is a rebuild if not trading the older players for younger ones/draftpicks?

Back on topic with hockey.

Looks like last minute for Hammer n others.
Hoping its D from Dallas or something similar form Chicago.
Suspect Vrbata gets a 3rd if any team be supplied actually is dealing.
The spare parts idk who or where if at all. Maybe Barts.

Uh, YEAH!?!?

Trading bad contracts from the old regime is a great place to start. Trading players that aren't a part of the long term plan is next. Acquire picks and prospects by leveraging cap space happens after that. Draft and develop from within.

It's a pretty simple concept to understand, BJ, even for you.
