i never made an error, i knew you couldn't buy out horton all along and never once even suggested it ffs.

thanks Chief

well then i guess i was wrong about the horton contract. nothing to see here.

but that doesn't give dubas a pass for not foreseeing this problem he was going to run into. if he thought jake gardiner was going to help the leafs win a stanley cup this past season maybe he should not be the gm of a nhl team.

Lou signed Marleau though?

You can't win a cup with Phil Kessel!

You can't win a cup with Tyler Bozak!

You can't win a cup with Jake Gardiner!

In this case, I don't think my ability to read is the issue. I think this one has more to do with your inability to understand simple concepts.
- PatC80

like the concept of how i never suggested nor implied buying out nathan horton's final year? gotcha.

I actually didn't know that. But you know, I'm actually ok with admitting I was wrong.

It's like I'm looking in a mirror.

Yup and Nonis traded for Horton.. But, blame Dubas, you sexy beast

Do you think that Hayley Wickenheiser goes into the HHOF as a Leaf?

It's getting a little late for old Dion though.

Yes, no, hehehehehe

Where do I even start?

Trade Jake Gardiner before the season started? Really? Who would we have at that time that could replace Gardiner?

If we did trade Gardiner earlier as you suggested, how would Zaitsev's role change? We would be playing him with a more inexperienced defenseman and Zaitsev will still be a more defensive role, but would have more pressure on his shoulders.

Dubas didn't cave to Nylander, and it wasn't Dubas' idea to force Nylander to hold out. We got Nylander for a cap hit less then $7M. That's a win for the Leafs.

Didn't extend Marner, because Marner's agent wanted to play out the year first. Not Dubas' fault.

Dubas did bring in Muzzin to help for the playoff run, right?

The Marleau trade was a good move. The 1st rd pick is lottery protected.. We didn't have to include a prospect or roster player.. Also, Dubas fixed a mistake by Lou Lamoriello.

Some of the moves he's made can be questioned but he hasn't created some big mess.

Did I miss anything?

Yes. You forgot to NOT FEED THE TROLLS.
