Debrusk was a decent pick given his role/draft position, but there are at least 5 guys who you'd take ahead of him that went after him...

Oh for sure. That’s why I said “good” and not “great.”

Yeah... and it's one where even at the time people were saying how bad they (frank)ed up, even without the benefit of hindsight. Imagine their team now if they'd have taken some combination of Barzal/Connor/Chabot/Aho/Boeser
- lumlums

Isn’t that something? Good thing for you guys that they screwed that up Barzal and Chabot and they are laughing right now....I think DeBrusk is a good player

Arizona drafted Strome (3) instead of Marner (4). New Jersey drafted Zacha (6) instead Provorov (7), Werenski (8), Meier (9), Rantanen (10).

And yes, Boston (frank)ed up...twice. Debrusk was a good pick.
- Dongull_Trump

The Strome instead of Marner pick is the biggest ouch as far as a single pick goes.....that’s brutal in hindsight even if Strome has been better since going to the Blackhawks

I would join UG and become a Bruins fan if they had.





Not really. (frank) the Bruins, and (frank) RJ.

Also weird that his profile picture is kinda almost exactly what was expected too.

Everyone has the right to be wrong.

They do.

As we have the right (or at very least, the ability) to mock them for their ridiculous statements

Oh man, if they'd have taken any combination 3 of the 5 that I mentioned the Atlantic would be (frank)ing ridiculous

Old white guy with a "vacancy" sign behind his eyes? Yup

Meh.. it's too early to tell if Sandin is more of an asset than Liljegren (and don't forget Sandin is a LHD). Also, deals can be made to protect prospects that may be exposed. Also also, who says Lil will even be the most coveted unexposed piece the Leafs may have in 2021 (*ahem* Nylander)?

I'm also sure there may be some creative ways to circumvent the expansion draft we haven't thought of (e.g. 1 year contracts).

Nahh... unless you're landing Parayko I'd keep our 1st and Liljegren and take a run at signing Petro when he's UFA.

seems sensible... except there's no way that any attractive Free Agent will EVER EVER EVER sign in Toronto because of i) taxes ii) the Toronto media iii) the weather and because most of all - reasons!

don't forget the reasons (or the taxes)

Old white guy with a "vacancy" sign behind his eyes? Yup
- lumlums

Yep!

Honestly, if I'm Dubas I'm giving Seattle a pick or lower prospect to take Zaitsev. Assuming no major F acquisitions you'd protect JT/AM/MM/WN/AJ/KK/NK and not lose too much sleep - worst case you'd lose a guy like Brown or Hyman assuming they're re-signed. Most of the higher prospects we have won't be exposed, so no worries there.

are the guys on their first entry-level 3 year deal exempt?

Probably has his Beagle Leafs jersey already in hand with date stamped pictures and “I told you so” posts already drafted.

You millennial fanboys pooled your total group-think IQ and summoned me? Best not stray too far from the shallow end of the pool. If you're lucky, you might see the Leafs make it out of the first round, if your golden boy Dufus grows some balls and actually improves the defense. Gotta love the IQ leaders saying this is the greatest Leafs lineup of all time. I guess, if you grew up during the Phaneuf/Kessel era, it probably is. I also liked the points comparison of Austin Matthews vs Gary Roberts. Seemed to miss the number of playoff round victories between the two. I guess never seeing a real Leafs contender will cloud your collective version of the Greatest roster ever. One of your brightest lights even said it was the greatest Leafs roster since the 1940's. I don't think there are too many people left on this earth that could make that evaluation. I can only look back as far as 1962 and I really think the '64 team might have something to say about that. Have fun playing NHL 2019 on your XBox in your parents basements.

Matthews needs hyman? Lol how on earth does our best forward NEED one of our worst forwards? How can someone say that with a straight face?


Matthews playing with hyman .54 goals/game, .92ppg

Matthews playing without hyman .76 1.4ppg

Yes Matthews clearly needs hyman.

The truth hurts eh...

Not getting him for peanuts. It’ll most likely cost one of those other players soooo in other words. You’re not getting pietrangelo for want you want to give up (poopty players for a top defender). Have to give to get so idk why you think it’ll cost anything less.

No one wants brown.

Speaking of peanuts what did you think karlsson gets traded for? I'm willing to bet that had someone suggested a trade for what he actually returned you'd have laughed and said it was a poop deal. Peanuts.
