Why bother throwing assets away again?
They do every year ... rinse repeat.
Every playoff team does. Hardly unique to the Leafs. With this stupid cap world, it's one of the few times you can move stuff, I just expect it. Tre kept our first last year, I like that. This third is capital.

Exactly. Now they’ll trade another first rounder for a deadline rental D in a desperate bid to win a playoff round.
and yet every player we get is better than liljegren come playoff time

2021: Giordano, Lyubuhskin
2022: McCabe, Schenn
2023: Lyubuhskin, Edmundson

Schenn costed a 3rd
Lyubushkin 1.0 costed a 2nd + Cap dump
Lyubushkin 2.0 costed a 3rd + 6th
Edmundson costed a 3rd

that isn't a crop of elite defencemen, for the most part it is steady, reliable, and PHYSICAL bottom pairers. So basically Liljegren was worth what most of those guys were, and yet with the way liljegren un-developed, if you asked me if I wanted 2024 liljegren or any of those guys come playoff time, I'm taking every single one of those guys.

Watching the world series and the Dodgers manager Dave Roberts had a great quote.

Said, we've always been talented but haven't always been tough.
Said this year they learned how to fight, this year they learned how to brawl.

Hopefully we see that this season with the Leafs.

Not sure we have the right core for a brawl.

Thank god you don’t GM then. Keefe was an idiot for playing some of those bums in the playoffs and was fired for a lack of playoff success.

Well having the biggest Free Agent signing might helped a little even though he didn’t do much in the WS. But having that guy sure helped lured Yamamoto and he pitched a gem.
