Leafs already have a guy making around 5 million a year that does absolutely nothing for us. That spot is filled.

(No I'm not talking about Zaitsev)

Good old Karl will be bought out then.

2 words:

Karl

Alzner


I'm sending the paperwork.
- Scabeh

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again.

I would entertain a Alzner(retained salary) for Zaitzev trade.

If the interest for Z is low. Which is up in the air at this point.

Buyouts are fun.

Did you know that this was the first year that the Leafs didn't have Gleason on the books since he was traded to the Leafs?

Who takes Zaitsev's 5 minutes of PK time a night? Holl? Marincin? Stop a second.
- AdamFrench

Z plays the game the same way 5V5 so it’s addition by subtraction

I would entertain a Alzner (50% retained salary) for Marincin trade.

Nooooooooo

Marincin will never cost the Leafs more than league minimum.

The Leafs are missing Gardiner big time.

They need to find a replacement for him next season.
- Santo_44

Yeah, the team's play recently really shows why Gards is such a good player, especially for a team built like the Leafs are.

It's almost like you're trying to make him hate the Habs....

wait a minute...

Been saying it all year
this team is broken
Babcock is the issue

A quick exit in the playoffs puts him on the hotseat next year and hopefullya new coach in 2020-2021

Just because you’ve been saying it all year doesn’t make it any less stupid.

Because you said something doesnt mean they could have done it if they wanted to
you have to have someone willing to trade you that imaginary D you want

Who takes his minutes? Holl or Marincin?

Imaginary D - proper hockey porn!

Sandin

Boom...

Babcock was probably asked to make a list of expendable players, and Lindholm would have been on that list.

First you said Babs doesn't get to pick players to trade, then you said he submits a list of tradable players. The reality is the coach and the GM of every team talk about players all the time. Every single day. The coach has an influence on personnel, especially if the coach GM are on the same page and vision. The Petan trade likely left Babs wanting as he always says you want the club to upgrade and to make that happen you play really well and force his hand to improve the team. The question is are they on the same page?

Babcock: We need guys who play heavy, are heavy on the puck, and are gud pro's who can compete every shift..
Dubas: Interesting ideas......Well, here's Nic Petan. I'll call you later.

Absolutely, I didn't say any different. The coach doesn't have the final say.

They don't need to be on the same page, and it's better that they aren't.

*ignores Muzzin trade like every other Leaf fan*

I think you have to Give Dubas more time to improve the D, and some of that has to come from developing prospects. Sandin looks like a gem at this point

this dude does NHLe stuff

It also looks like the Leafs went a couple seasons under hunter drafting...no so great?
outside the 1st, things look awful ...esp the D

2015 and 2018 look a bit better, which Dubas was moreso involved? just assumptions. esp on 2015
- senstroll

Dermott was a Hunter pick.

I think Rasanen was, too. Marlies just brought him in/over from Finland, I think.

Different ideas is a good thing.

There is a reason that one guy doesn’t just do both jobs.
