Make that a hat trick than

So if the Leafs don't get at least 2 points in this Penguins deal, will heads start rolling?

Babcock is a goner if that happens

Lil is going in the Doughty trade..

😓Ugh we are officially in Mike Peca territory now with the JFJ/UG Doughty obsession. Or Robbie Earl.

Talks are really happening.. It's being reported by LA sport writers

Stop blaming the goalies including Hutch. Blame at this point is solely on the shoulders of Dumbass. Firing Babcock and trading away Kadri were huge mistakes. Letting character players like Martin, Komorov, Hainsy and Roman Polak then replacing them with young inexperienced players hurt their team identity. They are soft without grit and come playoff time, the game changes in a way the Leafs can’t answer for. The Leafs have an abundance of talent but the glue that makes a Stanley Cup team comes from the gritty experienced guys.
It used to be Learn then Earn now the payday comes on what a player might do.

Love that this Doughty meme has legs!

One wonders if Lil is part of a package or if the Leafs are trying to manage his 9 games before the TDL.

I coulda sworn they never made it out of the first round with those guys

Are you (frank)ing kidding me?

So basically you are saying a 1st rounder, a 2nd rounder (what we traded for Andersen) and William Nylander for John Gibson?

WTF.
- Kinger34

I don care for the trade proposal either, but what was previously traded to get andersen isnt a factor.
Willie isnt being traded for anyone this season.
So no worries

Cool, cool, cool...but shouldn't they be winning in the "soft" regular season if they aren't built for the "tough" playoffs?

Did they happen to get an anonymous tip from 'citizen-based Toronto journalist' that was argumentative, condescending, and pedantic in tone?

Main parts will be Nylander, Lil

You had successfully buried that, huh. Sorry for dragging it to the surface.

Berger cited a guy who has worked in the LA org for 40 years saying Leafs have talked to LA about Doughty in the past and present.

While that is probably true how serious has it/will it ever get?

I get what you're saying, just can't believe that anyone would entertain the thought of trading Nylander away for anything but a defensive upgrade.

I'm not even the biggest Freddie fan tbh, and I would be fine to move on from him. But Gibson is not the upgrade I had in mind.

The leafs played .500 hockey from jan to the playoffs last season and still made the playoffs.
No one was worried then.
Its all good.

Is 500 that bad? There's at least 499 integers below 500, could be worse.
