How aggressive should the Leafs be at the deadline? New Poll Option Added

[Racer88]

Shanny jumped the shark when he handed to the keys to Dubas. Some of us saw it from a mile away but Shanny had his blinders on.

Some would argue he still has blinders on

That's silly. The Leafs should have their best chance to reach the Cup final since the early 90's baesd on the quality of the Eastern conference.

How sad that we had to wait 8 years for the eastern conference to turn crappy so we could compete.

Now that it has, take advantage of it.

You could say the same thing about any team in the east. It’s not like the Leafs got better, but more a case of Cats are still hungover and the Bruins got a lot worse.

Miller is most likely being traded to the East. Good luck if he goes to NJ, NYR or Carolina because he is almost guaranteed not to be coming to Toronto thanks to the Gord Stellick of this generation.

I have no idea what this Leafs team is again but odds are they shit the bed like they usually do in April and May.

Canes and Devils are better than the Leafs. Shesterkin can beat the Leafs on his own. We need this leopard to change it's spots to get to the SCF. I would not bet on it.

The jury is out on Washington for me. They are be best team in the East. Question is whether they can do it in the playoffs.

If the Rangers go on a run and make the playoffs they might be a tough out. They have similar problem to the Leafs in that some of their high priced players haven’t shown they’re good enough

Agreed but they haven’t shown they’re good enough in later rounds. Not the case for the Leafs.

The way they are playing now. I would pull the trigger on a forced Marner trade and get the absolute best return possible. Matthews doesn't look like he is going to have a healthy playoff and we have a cap crisis upcoming. They need to resolve it immediately before they box themselves In a corner.

What cap crisis? They have 26mil in a flat cap or 30mil if it goes to what has been talked about.

In short order. Stolarz, JT,Knies, MM, Woll. That cap will be gone and if they pay MM 13m or whatever, well

I don't think Carolina or jersey are better than the leafs. I'm also not sure what to think about Washington. It's hard to imagine they can keep up this pace.

Both goalies are signed.

 

[thewave]

Both goalies are signed.

Right. So we get 1 shot with a good tender(s) and then go into cap hell

Canes and Devils are as good or better than the Leafs IMO. Canes are deep everywhere except in goal. Both teams will add by the TDL. Leafs will have to change their spots to beat them in the playoffs. I'm not betting that the same 3 guys can get it done in year 9 with this bottom 6 and a defense that offers virtually zero offence.
