Leafs need to make a trade.

[Leafsfan74]

I've not even tried to figure out a trade. I was in the same boat last deadline where I didn't know what the best approach was, it gets that way sometimes when we aren't privy to what other teams are dangling, who will be in and out of the playoff picture etc.

The injuries haven't stopped the teams success, that's the positive.

The opportunity for these young players to step in with seeming ease has been impressive and perhaps a blessing in disguise. When they have a taste on the NHL they are going to work their tails off to try and make it more permanent down the road. With the Leafs being up against the cap all the time it won't take too long.


Greb is a bit of a banger. Minten, could be a Bergeron prototype. I'm not sure about Alex Nylander as a starter at this point on this team.

Look at the forwards who are out: Domi, Patch, McMann, Kampf, Kankrok, Reaves all out right now. Something has to give I suppose, especially if the Leafs are looking to upgrade somewhere.

It's amazing how depth for this team up front just seemed to arrive out of thin air. Secondary scoring is important, but it's also just playing a heavier game up and down the lineup.

Who will be the 3rd line centre they will target? What will the cost be?

It's really difficult to pinpoint.

Quite possibly ordered in reverse.

I was not a fan but wish him well.

He's playing around 19 min a night in SJ, has 3 goals and 2 assists. 4 points in the first 4 games , 1 point in the 12 games since. He is a plus player on a shitty team...



The defenders still on the team.

He still bad when game become physical and space reduce on the ice. 1st half never really been the issue with him, the 2nd half was...

With Rielly you can only have so many soft defenders.

I've never been more comfortable with our team as I am now. Our strength is in the waiting game to get healthy, no need at all to make a trade right now. The only question mark was 3C and with Minten / Domi available we have lots of runway to work with to assess the team until trade deadline.

If we don't need to upgrade on our 3C I'd only look to upgrade our #5D to push Benoit to our #7D.

If that's all we did we'd be able to catch up a little bit on our assets for the trade deadlines beyond this one.

Key word plus player on a shitty team that looks like it’s playing a football game with those high scores yet he’s still a plus player playing top 4 minutes your not making much sense do you watch Timmins or do you watch the box score myers probably takes his job id feel safer with him in
