Brad Treliving is doing a great job.

[Thornbury]

Myers succs

He's like 9th on their D depth chart. What do you expect?!

 

[All Mod Cons]

It's mad to think, all we needed was a couple of 'dinosaurs' to get this team playing a structured, solid style.

If he gives MM 13.8m it's over for him. May as well throw himself off a bridge. Knies and upcoming Leafs stars will look at the contracts and say want mine.

Tanev OEL Rielly will be old in short order and the music stops. Party over.

It's mad to think, all we needed was a couple of 'dinosaurs' to get this team playing a structured, solid style.

They will not compete in 2.5yrs from now and those that can and will shall look at 13.8m Mitch Marner and demand massive amounts. No money for depth at. That point.

Not much he was mentioned like he was good I’m just stating the obvious

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Not to throw cold water on the positivity around here, though I do sometimes feel it's my duty, but please consider that the Leafs have played 13 of their 21 games at home, where they've been great, and are only 3-3-1 on the road, where they have some catching up to do.

And after a ridiculous light schedule the past two weeks they are playing almost basically every second night until Christmas break while dealing with multiple significant injuries to their already thin forward group.

If they make it to the break still sitting atop the Atlantic then we all should feel a lot more confident about where they are at.

I don't care if they have played 13 of their 21 games on the moon.

They are rolling right now.

Hayes threw out the hypothetical of trading for Crosby if all the stars aligned.

I'd put that at no more than 10% but even at 37 (or if he would welcome the trade) he would increase Leafs chances of winning a Cup. The guy is a tireless worker and winner.

I can't think of a trade scenario that works, the Pens aren't going to just eat millions and the Leafs aren't just going to part with salary-certainty young diamond prospects.

As it were, Leafs can surely find heavy forwards in the market place that are cheaper and cost less to acquire.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

One thing that has become clear is the Leafs need to be shopping for 2 forwards.

They need a 3C but they also need a top 9 winger.

We can't be 1 Matthew Knies injury away from Pontus Holmberg in the top 6.

Pontus Holmberg can't be the #7 forward

We have a lot of bodies right now and it needs to be shaped and consolidated somewhat. The quantity of guys like Kampf, Holmberg, Jarnkrok could probably be cleaned up into one higher impact player, maybe a Marlie or two can step up and steal a job. That kind of thing.
