Why is that funny? I'm not sure that Treliving's best goalie acquisition being a third stringer who did better than his predecessor's worst goalie acquisition is the flex you wanted it to be. Both of your cap hits were wrong BTW.
The decision to not re-sign Hyman had nothing to do with Mrazek.
If we keep Domi, we can trade a Kampf, Holmberg has shown me enough that he can log 10 minutes in the four hole. Jarnkrok never ever ever produces in the playoffs, does good things, it never materializes. Lil I’m over too, his idea of a board win is a draw, I can’t believe how weak he is and mentally he turns to mush with any pressure whatsoever , zero poise, it just won’t work.
I would have Lily spend a few days with Chris Pronger. Teams target Lily and he takes a beating. He needs to learn to be a mfkr. Spear, slash, elbow, anything that will get players thinking twice about dumping the puck in his corner. As it stands, nobody is afraid or intimidated by Lily and he just ends up being a victim.
lol thats true but my point still stands....be a dirty mfkr to at the very least have some players think twice about coming for you.
Agreed, I've always said we need to focus on acquiring players who hate to lose, I don't care if they are "nasty" but I want them to have a real dislike for losing. McDavid isn't nasty but he he is passionate and competitive.
If you'd read my post, you'd know that it wasn't about Dubas, or even about criticizing the Jones acquisition, which I've actually said was "a good acquisition by Treliving for that role". What Jones wasn't, however, was a "capable starter" or an upgrade for our playoff goalie, which is what was being discussed. Dubas was nobody's hero, and nobody is "zombie lobbying". You seem more focused on him than I am; bringing up Mrazek and Hyman. He was, however, a good GM, and moving on doesn't mean being satisfied with Treliving moving this team backwards.
He was a bad GM. Keefe was a bad coach that was learning through the school of hard knocks, just as Dubas was.
If Domi is in the three hole , or JT, Holmberg can take the fourth. He has good defensive acumen, Kampf isn't all that either, he a decent PKer and borderline shutdown C. Domi can't do that job obviously but he can play C, and I have faith Holmberg isn't a downgrade defensively, and he has more offence too.
I think you over state Kampf, he simply isn't an elite shutdown guy. And just as often it's Matthews or Marner, JT, over the boards down the stretch. Also, Holmberg acquitted himself quite well, I fail to see any resemblance to his game and Kerfoot, seems an odd comparison. Kampf has a relatively high ticket, if we want to augment the blue line, he might be a salary casualty. He's a one tool player.
I used to like Kampf but no way do you pay a 4th line C $2.4 M. The Leafs have a junk team because they overpay everyone. How long did Las Vegas take to win a cup? Toronto is not close.
