Bahahaha I like it. You are still a very strange cat though. - Larry_Fine
I was just saying every fan base has their lunatic fans that lose their poop when bad things happen to their team. I know people who have tried to find where Kerry Fraser lives or claim to have pissed on Ballard's grave. These people aren't well but they exist. That Islander fan is obviously pissed off and if it was happening to the Leafs, there would be a Leafs fan equivalent just as pissed off, if not more so given how emotionally involved Leafs fans can become.
But if you say that's a strange stance, I guess it's strange. |

Pietrangelo has 2 years left on his deal and Karlsson has 1 year left on his deal. Karlsson is a bigger impact RHD so St. Louis comes out ahead as long as they sign him to an extension. Also, Dallas is rumored to be in talks with Ottawa. If you're St. Louis, maybe acquiring Karlsson not improves your team but also ensures that Dallas doesn't get any better. Similar to how Boston, Tampa Bay and Toronto were all in on Tavares because they're trying to get better but also prevent rivals from doing the same.
Manson I like but isn't a top pairing D. Same with Dumba. Chychrun isn't RHD. I like Parayko but I like Pietrangelo more. Trouba is pretty good. So is Ekholm. Ekblad should be untouchable if Florida has any brains. Ekblad would cost you Matthews, that's how good he can become given his overall skill set. - Unholy_Goalie
Perfect
Barkov, Matheson and Ekblad

Again, I'd love to acquire Barkov and Ekblad, even if the price was Matthews but the reality is, that's not happening. |

Please show some respect. |

So the Leafs were working on the Tavares coup for 4 months.
I'm wondering if they told Lou anything about the plan, or they knew he was a risk & kept him out of the loop?
Now according to some, Lou is the best thing since sliced bread so it would be surely inconceivable to think the worlds greatest GM was kept out of any type of business like that. And so important as well??
So Leaves fans, what's the goss on the master plan your organisation completed to perfection??
You guys would have to think they should just give you both the Presidents trophy & Stanley Cup now, shouldn't they? Or a team least start engraving names of Leaves players. |

Agree totally with this.... not to mention Ozighanov, lets see how he is too! Not to mention, a full year and more experience on Dermott. If Zaitsev improves well then it comes down to how some more of our other young defence come along as well.
MAYBE Gards could be moved or upgraded on but depends and has to make sense and fit, and assuming he wants a boatload for a new contract otherwise I don't really think we have to get absurd with it. - Roadrunner75
I think Faulk would be a good add, the Leafs D needs to be consisted of players who can move the puck.
And we finally need a big shot on the PP, it's something it's been missing. As good as the PP is |

Would be nice to have someone with a booming shot from the point but I don't think that babcock likes that approach. Many times players miss the net and the puck ends up clearing for the other team to get a line change in. Seems like he prefers having as much control of the puck as possible, which is why he has Marner/Nylander QB the PP. Could be wrong though |

Still have to play the games and win some first. But adding a top notch centre for money only - which 5 other teams that would have to be considered among the better teams in the NHL all wanted badly - isn't a bad thing. I doubt very much the Leafs offered even the second highest amount in this contract.

Not bad but not great. Doubt he would see PP time over Gards and Reilly. If he even makes the squad. |

100% he makes the team a lot stronger offensively. I'm just wondering if or what Lou knew before leaving Toronto & what that could have meant for the Islanders.
Very strange situation, I don't think the Leafs told him anything which would have been a huge decision on their part. |

Lying? If he's improving the team, Tavares isn't being lied to. If the Leafs traded Nylander for Pietrangelo tomorrow, you think Tavares regrets signing with the Leafs and asks for a trade? (frank) no. Because the team got better. - Unholy_Goalie
Dubas said he wont be trading the three kids NOW.
Maybe something changes 6 months or a year from now.
But come on guys, weve all heard gms say they wont do this or that and then a month later they do exactly that.
As of today, nylander wont be traded....could that change.....of course. |

I believe Dubas,
For what it's worth I think he means it and the Leafs will be keeping Nylander, Matthews and Marner even with Tavares inked in. |

Nylander is a possession machine...he would haunt us if he were to leave. The other 2 goes without saying.
Hope Holl can step up this year. |

Was that a sledge hockey league? Pretty sure I read somewhere that's the level JT is at.

We are 1 injury away from being roughly the same team as last year.
The D still isnt great.
So we'll see.
Fack the vegas odds....they do it to get suckers to throw their money away. |

I read that too...and I'm gearing up to be disappointed with the signing.
I'll give him one preseason game - which was all it took for me to know Clarkson was going to be a disaster (it was actually 2 shifts and a WTF!?). |
