if Lafreniere goes to Toronto it would be the most redundant addition to any team ever.......it's the law of diminishing returns.

the leafs already have one of the best offenses in the league, so it's not like adding Lafreniere is going to make them much better there.

their problem is that they defend at about the same level as my kids Atom team.....and an 18 year old Lafreniere is definitely not helping them there.

if the leafs win that pick they'd be dumb to keep it, it's worth (in terms of trade value) more than anyone on their team except MAYBE Matthews.

I say keep it and trade all the other picks and bottom 6 players you can to shore up D

Just stating the obvious

The leafs are under a microscope

Fans are (frank)ed here, you included

In fact, especially you

Even if Marner scores the OT winner....

I still trade him for Jones

I would think they could package that up and sell it. maplelaffreniere and Marner for Jones and Jenner and a 1st.

What I simply can't understand or fathom is how we managed a comeback without Frederick Gautier being deeply involved. It's almost like we saved a season without him!

You can't keep Lafreniere and still have Marner, Matthews and Tavares on the team, because you KNOW that Dubas is giving him over 10 million right out of his ELC, while the other 3 are also making over 10 million.

if you draft Lafreniere, than one of the other 3 have to go.

That's probably the best way to handle everything.


Either way, this is exciting stuff.

The 6-on-5 lineup that produced all three goals for the Leafs: Matthews, Nylander, Tavares, Marner, Hyman, Rielly.

i have a hard time believing that CBJ would give up Jones for anything, especially seeing what he's been like in this series....but that's not a bad deal
