Or it's the alternative to trading away one of the elite forwards.

Lets see where it goes. None of those elite young wingers are diminishing assets. If the plan isn't working out then there's plenty of time move a winger for D and/or cap space.

Sure. So when do they accept that it isn't working out? .500 the last 60 games. Is it 80 games? 160? Those wingers can bring in other assets so the alternative is likely better right now.

Mikheyev has more points than Nylander

Would love to see him play on AM's right wing. He's listed as a RW and he is what that line needs. Hard to do though when they are paying the other guy 7 million.

It’s franking hilarious that Leafs fans are complaining that we have too many high-end guys on the team.

St. Louis was last in the league on January 3...

Leafs aren’t undefeated...BLOW IT UP

You're overthinking things. They're 5-3-2, have had mediocre 'tending and are currently missing JT, Hyman and Dermott. If they're sliding out of a playoff spot around Xmas then it's time to start the discussion.

Trades aren't happening until the new year.

Mike Yeo is one of the worst head coach in NHL last decade though.
He was only fired by Blues Nov 18th.

It's funny that people are already hitting the panic button, it's 10 games in. I'm not happy, that they've blown a few leads/games, but they are still 5-3-2, which is pretty decent with all the changes they had to their roster.

Maybe they're just watching how NHL defensemen do things so they can tell Babcock.

Lindholm has 0 points in 4 games
Petan has 1 point in 3 games.

4th line fill ins.. who gives a poop

Also, as of Jan. 3rd, there were 7 teams that were worse than they were by pts percentage, which when GPs aren't equal is the real thing that matters. But I'll take my common sense and shove it up the Gull's ass because I know it's not welcome here

It's all Dubas' idea... I think he is indirectly telling Babs to stop playing Marincin..

Just stick to shoving what you normal shove into the Gull.

Here is a calm rational 10 game summary

https://theathletic.com/1...is-this-maple-leafs-team/

basically dont read too much into 10 games. and there is more good than bad.

the numbers back things up.

Leafs are still good.. stop crying

Just stick to shoving what you normal shove into the Gull.

Some people are just 'glass half empty' types. Hell, they're right sometimes. But the constant narrative is boring. I just try to ignore the repetitive stuff.

Us older folk who lived through the Ballard years should be the pessimistic moaners. Frankly, nobody under the age of 35 should be allowed to female dog and moan about the Leafs.

Those panicking arent just talking about these past 10 games.....its a trend since january. They are a .500 team.
Personally, i dont worry until at least the 20 - 30 game mark.
