That's an awful trade if he walks (not great if he stays). They should try to re sign him
- walshyleafsfan

sure, if he settles for 3 years and ~14M.

Otherwise better to let him walk.

yeah...ummmm, so the reviews of Last Blood aren't that kind:

https://www.usatoday.com/...joyless-grind/2379211001/

"This massively enlarged prostate of a film can only make you wince with its badly acted geronto-ultraviolence, its Trumpian fantasies of Mexican rapists and hilariously insecure US border, and its crass enthusiasm for rape-revenge attacks undertaken by a still-got-it senior dude, 73 years young, on behalf of a sweet teenager. The film, co-written by Sylvester Stallone, imagines this demure young woman having her face slashed by an assailant but the field is left clear for a stag payback showdown; there is no question of her taking her own retributive action."

It's still bad if they keep him because at his age, he's not worth the price it'll probably cost to keep him. Muzzin is exactly the type of player that starts to decline on a long term deal at 30+. And considering how little cap space they have, they gotta let him go.

O-dog having a meltdown on overdrive...

He’s pissed they’re talking about Sabourin because Roenick didn’t call in.

This can be true but Stallone has jumped the shark on pretty much every series he's ever been a part of.

Also feel like it should have been called Final Blood.

Hayes and O-dog are gonna get into it. O-dog is cranky and Hayes is pushing his buttons

Spezza is way too slow and doesn't fit this team at all. Same for Gauthier. 4th line centre based on current roster should definitely be Shore

Yup, I loved how Rotten critics gave Chapelle basically a zero while the public gave him 99%.

One of the only tough, physical defenders the Leafs have.

But very slow and gives the puck away a lot.

Was not good in the playoffs last year either.

Not worth the 1st round pick or an extension either as of today.
- JohnFergusonJr

seriously, answer me one question....

what did most Leafs fan complain about with Gardiner? air-head? flakey? ...

kind of the anti-Muzzin ... ever wonder why Dubas went and got a guy who's the opposite of Gardiner...

Muzzin is NOT slow, yes, he's not as fast a Rielly, or Gardiner... but he doesn't need to be. The fact the Dubas gave up a 1st ++ to get him is water under the bridge.

do you ever recall complaining that Gardiner never took the body, cleared the front of the net or played physically... yet those are traits that Muzzin has?

and if you want a combination of all the good traits of a defenseman... that costs north of 7M a year...

get real... Muzzin's too slow.






or we could go after Spurgeon... at 7M a year

- JohnFergusonJr

Hopefully someone else steps up so they can move him at the deadline. They can't keep letting UFA's walk for nothing and keep the prospect pool deep.

On the ice for the most goals against, 1 more than Zaitsev, 12 in 7 games.

And yeah, of course he had Dzone starts. His job is to prevent goals and he didn't do it very well.
- JohnFergusonJr

seriously? what's next plus/minus

geez... you resign Muzzin all day for 3x4.5 if he takes that.

let me guess... you think Gardiner was better than Muzzin in the playoffs because he wasn't on the ice for as many goals against...

time to shake your head (with your hands)

yeah.

whoever wrote that review went into the movie with the wrong expectations.

Such an unnecessary trade to make.

One of Kyle's mistakes imo

- TML IS ALL THAT MATTERS

Spezza is too slow to play with the top line guys. The speed is less of an issue further down the line-up... OTHERWISE you end up with 6 bottom6 in the line-up with are the size of Moore.

that didn't work so well in the playoffs last year from what I can remember...

if you don't want Spezza or Gauthier as your 4th line center... there's also Nic Petan - shutdown superstar.

Babcock is the weak link in this organization.

Gardiner has been replaced by Barrie.

Patriots released Antonio Brown. His stay in New England lasted one game.

I admit, I don't follow football, at all.. But that's bad right?
- PatC80

That Q&A session ended his employment today.

Gardiner has been replaced by Barrie.
- aminnes

nice try smart ass... no he wasn't in the playoffs last year.

Muzzin was brought in because their was a large hole in the lineup. Muzzin is/was the anti-Gardiner.

Barrie arrived this summer opportunistically.

The issue for me isn't Spezza per say, it's that an already poor defensive team traded away most of the better defensive players from last year both at forward and defence. Keeping pucks out of the net will be difficult. And as Dubas said, no one has won a cup with nothing but offence.

Muzzin is more or less the anti-Gardner, true. But the club went ahead and brought in right side Gardiner, so they clearly didn't seem to mind him.

Babcock is the weak link in this organization.
- RogerRoeper

Agreed.

The soft as poop players and the 3rd pairing disaster outlook, along with no cap space to replace day to day injured players, no back up goalie, allowing a 1st line player to not report to camp, all show Babcock to be utterly incompetent.

18 minutes for Matthews in game 7. Gauthier on the ice with 5 minutes left. Hyman on 1 leg playing so much in adeciding game and taking face-offfs. Marleau taking time from far better players all year.

Whaaa cry me a river. Babcock has a loaded team. Spare me the team this team is so flowed. LOL. Tampa has more talent, maybe? That's it

That GM has given Babcock a star offensive RHD in Barrie, a strong LHD in Muzzin and a franchise C in the past year. Every cocah wishes he got that.

BTW, those "Soft" players outhit Boston in the 7 game series. Are you aware?
