Brad Treliving is doing a great job.

Woll

Nylander

All in the early race for awards.

Throw Stolarz in there too.

Good on Tre for obtaining depth and believing in his depth to avoid making a panic trade

Plus Berube and Treliving himself.

Throw Stolarz in there too.

Would not be surprised at all if Woll/Stolarz take the Jennings this year.

 

[The Shadow]

Leafs have the second best goals against in the entire league. This is exactly what has been missing in Toronto for decades

When can anyone say that the Leafs have had one of the best defensive teams in the league ?

Not ever since 1980 at least - 45 years almost

They do that and this team will win A LOT

1st in the Atlantic, on the verge of being 1st in the east and league.

I've heard the Kadri rumours and I don't know how you make the money, but if they could this team would be looking strong

I don't think there is a real rumour, more blue-sky speculation.

Insider Fuels Speculation That Maple Leafs Will Re-Acquire Fan-Favorite Forward

NHL insider Jeff Marek has fueled speculation that the Toronto Maple Leafs will look to re-acquire Nazem Kadri from the Calgary Flames.

“I have a hard time believing that somewhere down the road the Maple Leafs don’t make a pitch for, or have a conversation about, Nazem Kadri of the Calgary Flames,” Marek said on his show ‘The Sheet’ on DailyFaceoff.

I just don't see how this move makes any sense without retention and salary going back. Kampf? Domi? Why would Calgary do that? How much we would have to pay for those sweeteners?

We cannot tie up $7M in Kadri and have Tavares on the team at $5M to $7M. One of those two will be our 3C and that is too much to pay for that, while blocking Minten I might add.

Kadri over Tavares? Don't resign JT? Why would do that? Tavares will be cheaper and quite probably better.

I don't think this moves from speculation to actual discussions.

US Thanksgiving is usually an good landmark to determine Playoff presence.

Leafs currently sit 1st in the Atlantic

Brad Treliving's improved Dcore and his choice of Coach and goaltending has really had .

Treliving is a flawed GM. Like a lot of GM's, I think Brad is not very good at trying to build a team into a playoff team. He signs guys to be core pieces that end up hurting them.

But what he is really good at is building a team identity and tinkering with the edges to make it fit that identity. We already had the talent in place here, so watching him do the obvious and prioritize goaltending/defense AND make us the 2nd biggest team in the league has been really refreshing.

Add into hiring Berube, can't ask much more of him these past few years. I think the only thing missing is one big trade that gets us over the hump and wins us a cup like Rutherford did with the Penguins.

Great job by Tre

 

[Kazparov]

I watch these guys play and it makes me think of all the time we wasted with a GM with such ridiculous ideas on roster & team construction.

Or then I wonder if Berube could have gotten those Keefe coached teams to look like this?
