News Article: Live Dubas presser

If he's happy with G he's not very bright. This team will lose in the playoffs again if Andersen starts.

If he is unhappy with the goalie situation, he is not going to say anything about it. That is a good way to ruin whatever confidence Andersen has left.

That is the kind of move that won't happen until it happens.

Not if he makes the right moves. Boyle was a great move, Turtle neck boy not so much.
IMO, doing nothing this year is cause for criticism especially if the cap prevents them from adding to the lineup

If the Leafs are going to add high picks & prospects for a rental player then lets hope that also results in a long playoff run.

If you mortgage the farm and fall short that is also going to draw criticism as failure and disappointment often does.. IMO

Unique year in that Leafs only need to beat 8 total teams including just 2 of 24 USA based ones to hoist the Cup, and never face 22 teams even a single time.

If one was going to push all their chips in, this would be the year to do it as 1 CDN team is guaranteed final 4 or 25% chance of winning the Cup thereafter.

That only seems possible if it's a goalie. We don't have many players making 5 plus million I'd be willing to let go for a similarly paid skater. Who else making 5 plus million is performing that poorly you'd swap him out for a rental.

You mean something like Freddy Andersen + Alex Kerfoot + Travis Dermott to Columbus for goalie Joonas Korpisalo, and 2-way power-forward C/W Boone Jenner.

Platoon Campbell and Korpisalo riding the hot goalie hand and set up a 3rd line of Simmonds -- Jenner -- Hyman that could shutdown any opposition line.

If we trade Liljegren we will regret it. It's only the degenerate hot take artists that say he's not progressing.

Last year he was one of only 6 U20 AHL D to score .75 ppg or more in 30 or more games since 2000. Others include Carlson, Faulk, Theodore, Mike Green.

Them saying that or anything doesn't effect his trade value. GM's value players themselves they don't listen to that crap. Despite what some may say he's likely still worth at least a mid 1st round pick.

Why on earth would Columbus make that trade?
