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

All the players that were traded today. Those players.

Meh

What even is this?
I'm reminded of a quote from Billy Madison.
You all know which one.


Why experiment when we already know the Rielly Schenn pairing works?

That was two years ago. Players can change in two years. Especially older players. Rielly is a good example of that. Anyway Schenn is a Penguin now.

With looking on who is available for trade…none of those players are worth trading first round picks Minton or Cowan.

Laughton is a 4th line scrub. I would much rather bring up Minton to play 3C in the playoffs. No f***ing way I am trading young blue chips and first round picks for that guy.

Often the best move you make, is in fact the move you don’t make. Treliving needs to stand pat. I believe this team is going to be very good in the playoffs. Just as they are.

Agree 100%

Look at how comical the Tampa/Seattle trade is - - TWO (2) firsts plus a second for a has-been Yan Gourde and mediocre middle six guy Bjorkstrand?

I’d be furor Treliving made a trade that dumb.

What would it take to get Mario Ferraro from San Jose - - Minten plus a mid round draft pick to a third team for salary retention?

Ferraro would be a great fit with Rielly.

The best fit with Rielly is two new defensemen and Rielly in another city.

The Leafs should stand pat at the deadline or else be acquiring players who are part of the medium term and are outer core level guys who can grow into core members. Like the Hagel equivalent deal a couple of years ago. If it’s to win in 2025, the team isn’t in position to do so.

So hard to say. Make the team better, same as anytime of the year. Easy to get caught up in the hype, but... this core needs to do it - not another depth piece. And hopefully we ride Stollie wave as far as we can!
