Leafs trade an 11th round pick for a rock.

Santo: excellent move, the rock has potential and 11th round picks are useless anyways.

Everyone else: *loses poop* Dubas trading 11th round picks again, ridiculous. This team is doomed blah blah blah.

Max: I painted my pet rock this morning something something Hyman is worth 10 million a year.

Leafs trade rock for 11th round pick.

Santo: excellent move rocks are useless.

Everyone else: Dubas is clueless that rock might pan out.

Max: derp.

Yeah reality is somewhere in the middle.

On this one, Santo is right. We only lose a 7th if the guy plays 30 games. You really have to try hard to see that as a bad deal.

Jaroslav Halak is indeed expected to join the #Canucks on a one-year deal.

Sounds like Halak will be on a performance bonus-based deal with a $1.5 mil AAV on the books. Structure:

$750k base sal
$750k sign bonus
$1.25m bonus at 10 GP
$250k w .905 SV% or⬆️

and that could be a possibility if players get hurt

Then I am glad it only cost a 7th to get the NHL depth to replace them.

its ok he's usually reasonable

he's just mad at the mrazek signing too

- twiztedmike


If you look at the last 3 years cumulatively of available goalies, they would spec out in order of performance as:

Rask
Kuemper
Halak
Fleury
Mrazek
Grubauer
___ This is the line between positive GSAA and negative GSAA
Bernier
Raanta
Andersen
Rittich
Holtby
Reimer
Ullmark
Jones

I have no problem with Mrazek. People talk about how much better Carolina is - but they have a pressure forecheck and swarming defense, but the net results are that they give up about the same HD chances as Toronto, fewer MD chances, and more LD chances. Toronto made changes to their defensive style to reduce rush chances against - Carolina has a solid stand up D that limits those opportunities as well.

It's up to Andersen to step up in Carolina because things aren't going to be too much better, I don't think - and it's up to Mrazek to keep up the same level of play in Toronto.

Note: Edited to include Reimer because that gives you an idea of how Mrazek compares in the Carolina system

It's not hate, it's a hockeybuzz reality.

If I want to see a positive spin on any move ever, I'll read Santo.

If I want to read the negative side of it... I know who to read for that.

If I want to read the text equivalent of a drunk person vomiting on themselves ill read what Max or AA has to say.

If I want to see someone tell everyone what's right and wrong I'll find the CC post.

Hearing #Canucks are closing in on defenseman Tucker Poolman. He’s expected to get a big raise on a four-year, $10 million deal ($2.5m AAV) whenever pen is put to paper.

@DFOHockey @Sportsnet

Its easy to replace Holl....

Im well over it, remember that part you tell everyone not to be so sensitive? This is the time to take that advice yourself.

What was the last leaf move you genuinely felt was bad, and outright stated as much at the time?
