Gritty prospect drafted and developed, punted for Malgin.

Fantastic message to the young guys Roger.

- DrunkenCanuck


But he's terrible and will never make the NHL...There's plenty of guys drafted and developed who don't make it...

I hardly think Leafs' reputation got hurt by trading Marchment.

They’ve done nothing but lose, but then again those round robin games really meant nothing. Doubt they tried, probably put in a Maple Leafs elimination game type of effort.

I like what the nba did the best. Just play a few more games and keep the standings the same. It also gives teams a a chance to get their poop together after all the time off.

Nylander is about as good at hockey as this dog.

Dubas can fix this time in just a few easy steps. Step 1) Trade a combination of Nylander, Johnsson, Kerfoot, or Kapanen to the Wild for Jonas Brodin and Marcus Foligno. Step 2) Trade the remaining pieces for cheaper assets to clear more cap space to sign TJ Brodie. Step 3) Trade Freddy and find a goalie who can cover the sharp angles. 4) Use whatever remains to sign some cheap sandpaper players that can wear down opponents.

Kapanen was hot trash this "post-season". So was Holl. And a bunch of others.

I think having Jonsson, Kap, Kerfoot is just too much of the same. That's 10 million.

Sry I said “Tavares trade” earlier, he wasn’t traded for.

But that signing was so puzzling and I really feel like it started the downward trend.

Not trying to troll just trying to discuss the reason for the lack of playoff success. You guys can still right the ship because of how young the core is, and it’s been a huge positive having Nylander live up to the standards of his contract. He looks great.

But committing that $$ to a C(Tavares) when you already had a 1C/2C combo at the time of Matthews and Kadri was extremely foolish. Then you eventually move Kadri. And add Barrie(another offensively minded defenseman). Now it’s much harder to fill in the roster depth and address the areas of need.

I would look to trade Tavares ASAP for a legit 1D. You don’t need Tavares, never did. It was a pointless acquisition.

I only picked Leafs to win because I thought this was a 7 game series.

Almost 5 month pause, then 1 week of disappointing hockey and again nothing until, what, January? Should’ve just scrapped the season. Sure I’m bitter, but it’s only once you don’t have a team in it that you realize how ridiculous this whole thing is.
