Getting rid of the guy who was suspended in the playoffs (and may have prevented the team from winning a round) 2 years in a row, a guy who was playing on the 4th line that has a whole 5 goals this year, and letting the biggest whipping boy defenceman since Larry Murphy walk for nothing is the downfall of this team currently?

Give your head a shake man.

He arguably cost the Avs a win with a double minor last night, too

I can get behind this

Don't deflect. We're still mad at your team.

You're mad at my Dorchester Munchkins? The (frank) did we do to you?

Is Lillybust playing? I hope he pulls a Dermott, and can provide solid 3rd pairing minutes. Would make Barrie expendable.

This is Boston we're talking about, here. Munchkins doesn't refer to The Wizard of Oz.

2.75 cap hit, though.

I’m just happy a young person* got that reference.

i'd trade him for a somewhat not-trash defensive dman in a heartbeat

You may be onto something. It's like no one wants the top picks from their draft year

Lol, seriously though, take a look

Barrie for a backup goalie. Kapanen/Johnsson for a top-4 D. Or Nylander for a top-2 D.

Tavares, Kadri

I blame Dubas

Yep. It’s Jacks fault Jt Mitch and Freddie play for the leafs and not the sabres.

Why does Matthews get in poop for not being in a SC final yet at 22 but Echiel gets a free pass when he hasn’t even played meaningful hockey yet?

are you guys really arguing about trading matthews?

there is no way matthews should be even considered tradeable until at least the last year and a half of his contract because he probably won't sign a new deal here (could be a different story if the leafs win a cup).

kyle dubas already screwed up his 5 year chicago style cup window by paying matthews, marner and tavares the absolute most top dollar and getting rid of guys like kadri and brown and letting someone like gardiner walk for nothing. now that he has done the damage the first guy outside of ceci to go to free up cap space and shore up his defense has to be nylander or it has to be tavares.

nylander because he held out half a season in favour of getting his top dollar contract, if not nylander then tavares being 30 already is the next logical choice especially since he's 11 million on the cap.

it seems like dubas plan now includes trying to sign pietrangelo in free agency, sure to be another 11+ million dollar contract, how can he possibly even sign him?

if the leafs stay with this roster for the rest of the season, don't expect much. the team has holes that need to be filled and you can't fill them without cap space.

I love hearing how Kadri and Gardiner, two of the biggest reasons we couldn't win in the playoffs leaving is such a horrendous mistake.
Gardiner is basically playing as a #5 D in Carolina and the lowest TOI of his career.
And you don't trade your UFAs if you're a playoff team.
And Dubas will not sign Pietrangelo. He doesn't fit with what they are doing.

And no, Nylander doesn't have to go. They'll have 13+ million thsi summer and Lilljegren and Sandin will be on the team next year.

That's what I've noticed. If Leafs had not made the playoffs yet you can bet that would be mentioned constantly against Matthews. Guys liek Barkov and Eichel get a free pass over that.

Makes sense trying Nylander on the left side.

He's never anywhere near the boards/corners anyways.
