That sucks. I didn’t know the injury history of Hakanpaa. I knew Tanev and OEL but not him…as I typed that I realized that could be huge trouble. All 3 dmen acquisitions have injury issues. As does Woll.

yeah Tanev missed a whole 7 games last year.

Umm, last season ring a bell? Jones bailed us out hard.

Murray coming back is probably a long shot, but if he does, having a cup-winning veteran 3rd goalie on the cheap who's still only 30 isn't the worst thing for us.

Leafs legit would've beat Boston if they started Jones every game.

"Speaking to sources it sounds like former Blackhawks unqualified RFA MacKenzie Entwistle will be joining the Toronto Maple Leafs organization.

They also sent Jones down to the Marlies at first but did not want to lose him once Samsonov returned

Jones did come in clutch, 100%. Before the season I couldn't wrap my head around why we signed him, but in Tre I trust.

What do you mean by Murray being a long shot? Do you mean actually getting time with the big club? Because he was playing for the Marlies at the end of last year, no? And surely at some point our 1 or 1A will go down. Or do you figure Hildebeast gets brought up then?

I feel like AA wouldn’t care what anyone believes and would just want people to be respectful to each other. But because of injustices from those in power, he resents a lot of posters in here.

Idk. That’s what I think he would think.

Liljegren is far too hated by leaf fans nowadays.
- Dozzer

Not hated. Just not good.

Didn't progress much and is not really good at even just one thing in any discernible way. He's a meh player for me. Not worth $3M.

For that money I would expect a slap shot or really good at the PK or good at puck retrieval or ........at least really good one thing. But no not really.

I was hoping, just not seeing.

Headache boy is going to be sidelined with headaches all year from constantly getting yelled at by his coach.

One of the best parts about you being such a (frank)ing repetitive idiot is that even if Nylander doesn't live up to his next contract, you have been so wrong about him since the beginning. Your original trade proposals were so far off you certainly lived up to the poll on here that claimed you are the supreme worst poster. Which, for those who read here daily, know is quite the feat.

All of this is nonsense Dozz.

Rielly, Tanev

Beniot, McCabe
Our best pairing last season will not be broken up, no way. Beniot was there in the top 4 last season because he deserved it and delivered, that pairing played well for the Leafs. Late bloomer, perhaps? Finally got the right opportunity with the right partner, perhaps?

OEL, Hawkintuah
Perfect LD/RD match. One offensive, one more defensive.


Lily is gone for a 3C. Book it.

Also, Hawkintuah is not broken. Fuk Simmons. He had the same surgery as so many others have had and the recovery time of 4-6 weeks suggests it was more of a minor surgery as opposed to a major injury.

Short memories.

Martin Jones from December 12 - January 9 - when we needed him, was excellent. He had 11 starts and 8 of them were quality starts with a .935 save percentage in those games.

From January 10 onwards Jones made 9 starts and 2 were quality starts and in those he had an .860 save percentage.

Martin Jones has been a terrible goaltender for years. That 11 game span of excellent play shocked everyone but don't let it colour your memory of him.

He (frank)ing sucks and would have lost the series to Boston in 2 games.
