Rate Brad Treliving's TDL

[PromisedLand]

How did Tre do given draft capital/assets available, team's performance this season; and taking into account the historical performance of the core guys

I give him A-

I am happy he didn't do much and mortgage the future too much. We need to see MORE from matthews, marner, nylander in the post season before we invest any more significant draft capital/futures for help now.

What about you?

nevermind
A+

I like the muscle

 

[Clark4Ever]

I give him a B. He added 2 rugged defensive defensemen and a decent bottom 6 forward without giving up any significant assets.

Under the circumstances, I think he made the right call by holding on to our 1st round pick and the few legitimate top prospects we have in the organization. They will be key to our ability to remain competitive over the next few years.

 

[Machinae]

The only thing worth adding was a top pair dman. Adding Boosh/Edmundson and losing five draft picks and Lagesson on waivers does nothing. Moves for the sake of making moves. Remains to be seen if bottom feeder's bottom pair d-men are even an upgrade on the Leafs' bottom pair d-men.

Unless the Leafs go deep of course, then OBVIOUSLY you need just need more grit on D, Tre is a genius, etc

Meh. C.

I gave him a B+.

I get why some people are frustrated that he didn’t do more. Believe me, I hear you on that front. But realistically, what could he really do? I don't think people fully realize how badly Dubas completely f***ed and depleted our draft capital over the years with the ridiculously stupid moves he made. The majority of which turned out to be pure rentals.

 

[Pebble live]

The team hasn't shown that they deserve the big splash at this deadline. So I'm glad he didn't go chasing that. I actually really like the moves he's made. I'd have liked to see Kampf moved out tho.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Considering we have zero 2nd round picks for the next 70 drafts and one of the better trading partners put a Leafs tax on their asking prices (Calgary), it was fine. Nothing really out there to use a first or a good prosect on

Not a huge fan of the Edmundson trade, but he should look better here. All those mid-late round picks can be recouped pretty easily.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Throwing 3rds at the depth of a roster that clearly needs larger changes just seems like a token deadline move for the sake of it.

I’m not saying Boosh or Edmunson aren’t bad pickups. But in the context of the teams current status it seems like throwing away assets. It could have been worse though.

I like that young prospect d-man and Dewar though. They have cost control and fill current minor needs.

 

[Welsh Maple Leaf]

Didn't put us any closer to winning the cup, he's far worse than Dubas. People will realise in short order.

 

[GoonieFace]

Like the additions, but mainly he is putting the onus of the big boys. I think they can beat Boston, and if they don’t, I hope he blows this team apart

I'd rather have Guentzel than all the guys Treliving brought in combined. The return for Guentzel was pretty lackluster. Treliving almost certainly could have matched it.

That's not even mentioning missing out on his primary acquisition targets in Tanev and Hanifin.

He failed to get the players he wanted. He settled on other players of lesser quality. And he paid a pretty big price to add a bunch of guys who don't move the needle.

If that's not a failing grade then I don't know what is.

F. Waste of picks for no-impact players.

Dubas would have traded the 1st round pick for a guy who is cooked.

Mid rd draft picks are not a big price.

Guentzle LOL, are you for real?

 

[rumman]

B grade from me, wished he could have done more, but this team isn't winning anything anytime soon so probably wise to basically stand pat.......

 

[613Leafer]

Pissed away a ton of picks, including for cap retention we didn't really need, to not really improve the roster in any kind of meaningful way.

Would have preferred just standing pat frankly, and used those picks in the offseason.

 

[ULF_55]

Give him a break, the dog ate his homework.
Then threw it up and ate it again. (Dog owners will know.)

 

[The Podium]

B-

Boosh and Edmundson seem like a waste

I really like Dewar

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

How were we going to get Tanev without a 2nd round pick? Overpay with a 1st? Lol no way

Plus, we know Calgary's ownership doesn't want to deal with Treliving

[Jozay]

A+ for me. Anything that gets us closer to Shanahan being fired is perfect.

 

[budzz]

This is already a good team folks. What we need more than anything is a true number 1 D, to push Reilly down to 2, where he would excel. But that wasn't available (Hanifin maybe? but if he didn't wanna be here that's that).

Everyone has been saying we are "soft as butter" forever... Well he added, Reaves, Bert, Domi, Bush, Edmonson and somehow found Benoit. We have a heavy hitter on every D pair, and a bit more snot up front than last year.

Not opposed at all to moving our first in the off-season for a top 2 D, when prices are better and the landscape is totally different with new names possibly available.

I'd say a B just for not moving any significant pieces or picks.

20 games to gel boys, and anything can happen!

 

[TonsofPuppies]

Press F to pay respects to Treliving's credibility (what little was left of it).

 

[PROUD PAPA]

I gave him an A because he didn't do anything stupid regarding the future so i'm either genuinely happy or my expectations were just so low after the last few years that anything other than moronic now rates an A.

Not happy that we gave up picks to get the extra retention on Boosh and Edmundson and then didn't need to when all was said and done.
