Leafs powerplay simply unacceptable given the amount of money on it

Blaming the things that are actually responsible. What a crazy idea, eh?

Nobody is blaming Reaves for his PP contributions. People are blaming Treliving for wasting cap and roster spots on useless players like Reaves that are incapable of contributing to a PP, which limits the alternative options we could have to try and fix the 2nd PP unit.

B. Saad was just waived. 4.5m. What do you think of dumping Reaves and another dead weight contract and bringing him over 2m retained.

Frees up a contract spot as well before deadline.

Saad is expensive, struggling, signed for next year, and I don't think he'd help the PP much. He hasn't been very good on the PP through his career, and he has just 2 PP points this year in 46 minutes.

Just agreed to mutual termination. I agree, he's not going to help the PP, but if he is willing to sign cheaply, we could try and slot him in LW2, and give him some opportunity to earn a new contract elsewhere next year.

This team, right now, is actually playing worse than they ever have in the Matthews era. We decided that we wanted some of those "radical changes", and all it did was make us worse. Surprise, surprise. Thank god for our core and goaltending carrying us and our special teams, or we'd be in real trouble.

This is way under-recognized imo!
