How aggressive should the Leafs be at the deadline? Whimper or All In?

How does Shanny still have a job? He wanted to actually extend Dubas, look at the damage Dubas has done to this team. Tre is handcuffed. Shanahan is clueless.

Because this is good enough in corporate eyes.

Yep. It's profitable. Few waves,, easy money just keep selling the hope and that we are contenders until we can't. Then do something and have a new excuse or fall guys brought in.

Starting to think the "aggressive" or "all in" moves just aren't there this deadline outside of a few shockers like Rantanen and Jones.

Too many buyers, not enough sellers. Even the sellers are valuing term over futures in some scenarios right now with the pending cap skyrocket.

It's only Tuesday. There will be a lot of deals between now and the deadline on Friday, including by the Leafs.

True, just not sure the "big move" will be there.

Sounds like he doesn’t like his team.

I guess it depends on how we define "big" move. The Leafs will absolutely acquire a third line centre, so it's just a function of how impactful that player is.

I have a feeling it will be Nelson or Laughton or there won’t be any major move. I could also see Luke Schenn coming back @ 50 % for a 2nd rounder.

I agree with you and Jake Evans just reupped in montreal this afternoon. So another one off the board.

Schenn didn't cost a 2nd rounder 2 years ago, doubt he's worth a second this year especially considering his cap hit

I am skeptical that Lou will trade Nelson.

A 3rd/4th for Schenn as is, or a 2nd for Schenn with 50 % retention for 2 years sounds about right.
