Except for the strange case of Mason Marchment, of course.

Ya, Dubas takes an L on that one. Weird trade all around given how much they had invested and talked about his potential.

the savoir was Tyler Biggs, the next Lucic

Yeah .5 PPG in college and not even a PPG in OHL. So much saving potential.

He was a big player that wasn't talented. Burke was dumb for taking him.

Meh, those guys would have to sign an extension.
Not sure dropping a kid straight from college onto the 2nd line of a team that is expected to go deep in the playoffs is great either. Specially only a month or two before the playoffs start.
But we'll see.

I don’t think Knies is Dubas’ first for JT’s wing this playoffs but I don’t think there’s any way he moves him. I’d trade Topi, or Minten or Nickie

And I’m still not convinced trading for a C or a RW is the way to go when we need someone on the left side and I know you can move somebody but when you’re moving a first, a top prospect, and more I’d rather get someone who addresses the specific need.

For sure. I wasn't solely blaming any one guy, even if one guy (frank)ed up more than the rest. It was a group (frank)age.

I was more talking about how people (mostly on the Twitter, some on here) somehow came to the wrong conclusion that it was Rielly's fault.

- GreatGigInTheSky

That was me. I walked in the room as the goal was happening and I saw rielly no where to be found when there was a player coming to the crease lol

In my defense I was still mad at rielly for the break away in the 1st. Hill got levelled in the ozone and rielly still decides to pinch. He just makes a lot of questionable choices when he’s a defenseman.

Id hang onto Topi, can move out the other two. I too dont believe Dubie will move out Knies unless its a great player coming back with term.
But agreed, I'd prefer a LW/C to a RW/C or simply a C

Marner has 10 more hits
- Santo_44

The problem is if your trading for MT in the first place, it would make more sense that it would be to play along side MM and not cost you MM...Just saying....

I wonder if Mitch can throw 350+ hits in his next game to put him on par with MT. 🤔

If you put so much weight on one season of Marner like you have in the past you musty for MT too.

he is not hitting this year.

Refs just gave that game to Toronto
- Newgod77



should be something a Bruins fans can recognize.

I'm sure Rielly's nose and lip donations to the cause really confused the officials - that damn physical evidence.

How unkucky is Nashville. They get to be the team that actually gets a penalty after hitting a Leaf player in the face with a stick. The odds of it being called are only like .1% or so.

It's possible. I think Luke Schenn got credit for that many after each game he played in Toronto.
