Are you disappointed that they are sticking with the core?

[EK392000]

Title speaks for itself. Are you content with the team as is or would you like to see some changes?

Core meaning the big 4 forwards.

How do we know they aren’t moving a core piece?

How do we know they aren’t moving a core piece?

I think most of us are praying they do.
Even a casual observer can see this isn’t working.
You have to believe management can see this right?
All the talk is just posturing right?

 

[zeke]

Bottom line, they'll be one of the odds on favorites again next year, and every year.

And vegas will agree.

I’d agree. This team needs balance.

More disappointed the 3 rookies (Shanahan/Dubas/Keefe) are back than the big 3 contracts.

I wouldn't want Dubas making that trade anyway.

 

[Shanty]

I think that this year, especially the playoffs, was awful to watch for everyone involved.

I also think cooler heads should prevail, and we'll see what this team looks like next year.

What magical trade actually makes sense for the long term?

Vegas sets odds to get equal bets on both sides, not to predict results.

 

[Curt]

Im not disappointed... Im just not watching until marner is gone

 

[leafsfan5]

I mean we’ve only had 5 first round exits in a row, surely something will change year 6 right????

 

[Hockey Crazy]

I was strongly on board with this teams vision, but even I see that we need to move someone like Marner to provide a little more cap flexibility and a different dimension to the team’s top end talent. Hopefully it’s tkachuk or eichel.

 

[Seras]

Yeah, hes a bum, barely better ppg than Jack Eichel and over 1.00ppg..

Who needs bums like him.

Maybe they can trade him for some magic beans errr draft picks.

It's funny that nm who we picked that year outside of McDavid you would not be happy... Oh wait actually include McDavid you would still not be happy with him lol

 

[Buds17]

Maybe. I'm definitely disappointed with another first round loss in the playoffs.

 

[HarryLime]

The characteristics of our core and management are the same. Not surprised.

 

[Eternal Leaf]

I don't even think they'll make the playoffs.

Lol who gives a f*** what Vegas says. Do you want to win or do you want validation from Vegas? Nobody else has seen the Leafs as favourites yet. The only reason why they were considered a top contender is because everyone thought they would be head and shoulders above the rest of the division. Haha

Of course, Vegas thrives on getting suckers to bet money on losers.

Read a tweet from an insider that said something along the lines of the Leafs management being sincere when they say the core in unavailable.

And the bigger the fanbase......

 

[hotpaws]

it still early so i'm hoping they can find someone to take Tavares

And how has that fared in the last five years.........?

 

[hotpaws]

we'll see but the problem is the guy they'd love to trade has a nmc and has little or probably negative value

 

[keonsbitterness]

Not even an option with his NMC.

 

[hotpaws]

Not even an option with his NMC.

he wouldn't be the first player dealt with an nmc and if Dubas wants to save his job he should working on getting JT to give a list of teams he accept a trade t0o
