The way this team is built they have little to no options at all to balance out the cap and balance out the roster in terms of talent, and to add much needed depth, and a influx of character.

This season is done IMO, therefore I would be in talks to make big trades to fix this mess. Go nuclear.

Nylander, Matthews and Barrie would be at the top of the list to see what could be had in trade for them.

You’d have to be on crack to trade Matthews...c’mon man.

Don't crush me.. Something along these lines.

But - How about Stolarz- just won his 7th straight with Gulls and Gudbranson with Ritchie for Barrie and Kap -

Solves your toughness problem along with Backup goalie issue .. and Guds has been more than decent for us.

- neither are horrible either
- not really, but I understand
- wouldn’t that also be on the players to play tougher?
- because Babs isn’t playing Barrie they way he should. Kerfoot has been working out.
- 1 to get Muzzin, a needed Top-4 physical D, and the other to get out of a terrible contract by Lou
- 1 season

- Steven_Seagull

-Not horrible, but not great and the team is already feeling the repercussions of those two contracts.
- i like kerfoot. But the main piece of the deal, hasnt worked out. Yet.
- muzzin deal was good.
- marleau...ugh.

I think panicking by fans doesn’t help.

Dubas can also argue his coach and players aren’t putting it together. They were a “soft” team last year to start the year and they were in 1st place in the league after sweeping California at this time.

Goes both ways.

The players he has paid have shown what they can do in the regular season and when they are on their games they are amongst the best inthe league.

Dubas can sure be frustrated too.

But I agree. Dubas, the players, Babcock. They are all to blame for this and they have to get themselves out of this. No massive trade is coming to save the day. With the ram they have they shouldn’t need it...or they are in trouble.

Im not panicking.
I wasnt expecting much from the leafs this year. So this isnt a surprise.

Also, they havent been among the best in the league since november last year (team wise)

Hayes made a good point about dubas.
This crap play is on the players.

But dubie:
- did not get team friendly deals on the two biggest contracts in leafs history (concerning their own draftees)
- mismanaged the cap, cant even afford a back up goalie
- has built one of the softest teams in league, probably the past decade or so.
- his biggest trade (barrie/kadri) is failing.
- traded away two 1st rounders
- hasnt won a playoff round.

Interesting

- Fakepartofme


all this.

he left out pulled a powerplay to push lou out.

he forced is way into a job on a team that was trending upward. I liked that the leafs gave him a chance, but unfortunately for him, I don't he should get any leeway here.

he needed keep showing the team was on a upward trend. the second that it's not means he should be out, imo.

that's correct... since the end of November......

I can't quite remember - must be my advancing narrow minded boomer mindset - what happened at the beginning of December/early December to change the roster last year?
