Well, time to poop or get off the pot! If you want a playoff spot, it's there for the taking! Saturday's all time embarrassment is either going to do some positive soul searching for this bunch or it completely broke them! Stay tuned!

-acquires michael hutchinson from panthers for 5th round pick, ends up not being good enough backup, ends up trading him to colorado for round 2 of calle rosen

-acquires jake muzzin from kings for carl grundstrom, sean durzi and 1st round pick, to date has been a somewhat decent deal, leafs may have overpaid to get him
-signs auston matthews to a 5 year 11.634 million dollar per contract extension
-signed ilya mikheyev, good signing but has his wrist cut by skate blade and future is in question
-signed yegor korshkov, decent leafs debut
-trades rights to defenseman fedor gordeev to the wild for a 7th rd pick, couldn't get him signed or didn't want to sign him
-trades patrick marleau's remaining year of 6.25 million cap hit along with the leafs 2020 1st rd pick top 10 protected and a 2020 7th rd pick to carolina for the purposes of a buyout in exchange for a 6th rd pick in 2020

-signs andreas johnsson to 4 year 13.6 million dollar deal, johnson has been hit by injuries all season and is currently out 6 months
-signs kasperi kapanen to a 3 year 9.6 million dollar deal, not having a terrible season but not having as good a season as hoped.
-hires dave hakstol as assistant coach
-continues to re-sign martin marincin over and over again
-trades nazem kadri, calle rosen and 3rd rd pick to the avs for tyson barrie, alex kerfoot and a 6th round pick, a trade that has turned out to be an epic fail
-lets jake gardiner walk without getting anything for him, signs in carolina, should have traded him before his last season ever started

-signs jason spezza 1 year 700k, kenny agostino, kevin gravel, nick shore (lost on waivers)
-trades nikita zaitsev (trade requested), connor brown, michael carcone to ottawa for cody ceci, ben harpur, aaron luchuk and a 3rd round pick, this has been another fail of a deal, gambled on ceci and he has sucked and got injured, lost connor brown in this deal who was at very least a good penalty killer, harpur will never play a minute for the leafs.
-signs ceci to a 1 year 4.5 million dollar contract, ceci is not even worth half of that

-signs alex kerfoot to 4 year 14 million dollar deal
-trades rights to dakota joshua to blues for futures
-signs garrett wilson, kalle kossila, pontus aberg, and tyler gaudet
-trades andreas borgman to the blues for jordan schmaltz
-signs mitch marner to a 6 year 65.3 million dollar deal 10.893 million per
-fires head coach mike babcock
-promotes marlies head coach sheldon keefe to coach of the leafs
-signs sheldon keefe to 3 year contract, team continues to struggle under him after excellent start to new coach

-re-signs justin holl to a 3 year 6 million dollar deal, 2 per, 6-7 guy i guess?
-re-signs marincin again and again and again
-trades trevor moore, 3rd rd pick and conditional pick to kings for jack campbell and kyle clifford, after creating the backup problem himself he finally solves it a full season and a half later and has to give up moore to do it
-re-signs pierre engvall to 2 year extension at 1.25 per, excellent signing
-trades mason marchment to florida for denis malgin, not sure why this happens
-trades aaron luchuk and conditional 6th rd pick to ottawa for max veronneau
-trades ben harpur to nashville for mikka salomaki, touted as a good 2-way player has yet to happen at the nhl level for salomaki

-waives dmytro timashov and loses him to detroit
-trades steve urkel and 1.1 million in cap space to vegas for a 5th rd pick so they could get in on the deal to retain 1.1 million on robin lehner to help vegas make their deal for lehner, dubas uses his team's cap space attained by multiple injuries to his own team to help vegas instead of his own floundering team that is barely clinging on to a playoff spot at the trade deadline
-trades jordan schmaltz who also never plays a minute for the leafs to the islanders for matt dorito

if kyle dubas was a hitter in baseball his batting average would be under .100 almost 2 years on the job and the team would be considering cutting him or sending him back to single A ball.

My angry rant from last blog:


I reject the notion that Barrie has been a disaster. He has been exactly what anyone not chugging blue Koolaid thought he would be.

He is the Leafs’ leading scorer on defence.

He is the Leafs’ leading PP scorer on defence.

He’s third in TOI/G

He’s franking exactly what every Colorado fan said he would be. And he’s doing it at a cap hit of less than $3 million.

This is not directed at you, Joelsie. This rant is to all of Leafs Nation (and especially my brother).

I’m sick of the constant negativity across all Canadian fan bases. We all think we know better than the coaches and GMs.

We all overreact to every franking game. We all call for public hangings of players if they are not perfect every shift.

Stanley has not come to Canada since 1993.

The players have changed.

The coaches have changed.

Management has changed.

The only constant has been us fans.

It’s time we looked in the mirror.

I haven’t determined that yet

Is GP like the Dubas Almanac or something?
