Future of the team is incredibly bleak

[ruaware41]

But if you keep your picks you don’t have to bottom out for ten years. Anyway it’s the same story every year, too late now we are going for it.

Yup, same story, even dating back to pre Shanahan. We never truly wanted a rebuild. Greed and lack of patience eh? But who cares right now. Just enjoy the ride and see what happens

lol

What a difference a couple weeks make huh. This is the most optimistic I’ve seen leaf nation in a long time.

Give it time, the sens will surely score a goal and that will be the death knell

Let's be real here. We have arguably 2 prospects of any note in Cowan and maybe Danford neither move the needle. We have no draft picks because we traded them all at the TDL. 2 of our 4 core pieces are UFAs and likely to walk for nothing. We have no #1 dman, hell no #2 dman.

We have NO future. The only possible move this offseason is to throw money around in free agency. For any long time fans, we've seen this story before. We will end up paying players like Komaserk, Lombardi, Armstrong, Connolly, Clarkson, etc big money in free agency and be trash but with a cap strapped team.

There is a very real chance we have gifted Bruins another top 10 draft pick. I am nearing my breaking point with this team.

I hear what you are saying about no future, however, you cannot get players like Carlo without giving up a piece of the future. I like Brandon Carlo on the blueline, but since you have to trade for a player like that, the Leafs have to give up something, unfortunately, that was Fraser Minten.

Adding the college free wallets certainly helps.

They have 4 goals

They have 4 goals

Things are almost as bleak for little brother as they are for the Leafs.

 

[Seras]

They have 4 goals

So the leafs have lost the series 4 times now then

I like Fraser Minten but he's replaceable, people forget he was a 2nd round pick.

He wasn't a top prospect when he was drafted, he developed to the point where he kind of became one which allowed us to land Carlo but he wasn't one when he was drafted.

What's to say they can't land somebody just as good if not better this year in the draft.

I'm not saying they will, I don't know that, but It's not like he is or was a grade A prospect you can't replace.

He wasn't and isn't.

This is a sprint to the Cup. Nothing is won, nor will anything be won until they hoist the Cup. The future players and upper management will be decided in this post-season
