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

The best thing is to ask Marner to waive his NMC, and hopefully move him the hell out.

Honestly I'd look for deals for all 3 of them and if any of them are good, I'd go to them and ask them to waive, if they refuse I'd just leak the trade.

This team needs a new look, it has for nearly 5+ years now

Seats are full and the cash is flowing.

Everything is beautiful in the corporate world. No sensible reason to change anything.

Perhaps the SBA is already booked for May?

NMC: Matthews, Nylander, marner, Tavares, Rielly, Tanev

So everyone else can be traded or waived.
Waiving only gets them around $1mm Cap Space though.
Waiving and getting claimed clears their Cap hit.

Is there a missing piece?

How much would you pay for that missing piece?

If there is nothing that would make them a good playoffs team, then doing nothing makes the most sense.

I won't be impressed if they win a round.
I will be somewhat impressed if they win 2 rounds, and lose to the Champs.

So using a lot of their assets for rentals would be disappointing.
Using a lot of the assets for missing pieces with term I'd be happy as a Leafs fan.

The poll indicates over 50% don't have much faith in this team.

That's cause the guys that need to elevate their game in the big moments don't seem to have the capacity to.
4 Nations is just another example...and no, I don't care about Mitchy's OT goal, there's no 3 on 3 in the NHL playoffs.

Do you care his assists on the tying and winning goals last night?

Let's be real. After the injuries from the real game in MTL. They league gave them a talking to and we got a toned down defensive game. It was 1/4 of what the MTL game was. Nobody even attempted to check Mitch and I mean the whole game

I'm not sure how that's Mitch's fault, that would appear to be team USA's fault because they didn't check him but then again you have an irrational hate for Mitch so I can't expect you to have a clue.

I love Mitch, how could you say that? I love him in exhibition games and games for fun where he can show off all his trotteresqu skills.

Last night could have been any old game compared to the MTL game

Going to be an interesting day today seeing who doubles down on the special takes. No doubt there’s a few that might want to take the weekend off to regroup.

Yeah he played well, let's hope he can carry it into the playoffs

He did play great. It was a toned down playoff atmosphere. MTL game playoff game. BOS game, good high level game without the passion
