Im aware of his play but who is the guy he wanted? Minten could have fallen to third round and still got him.

So, in your opinion, they should trade up for the guy they want but not pick the guy they want if it’s higher than CSS? So much for confidence in your scouting that you are preaching.

Even if he’s played well and so far justified the pick?

Seems like a can’t win scenario here in your opinion

Don’t look now but Minten is at 2 pts/GP while being a defensive beast!

I hope for all our sakes that Minten turns out to be a great player
You know who else was sloted where Dubas traded the pick?

Jiri Kulich. He has 8 points in 10 games in AHL. Playing against men
Sam Rinzel has 7 points in 11 games in USHL as a Defencemen
Lambert has 3 points 4 AHL games. Again playing against men

Nothing indicates Minten is a better player out of all them yet. Maybe he'll be, maybe he won't

Stop living in a bubble
 
Basically if Petruzelli comes up we're gonna lose him when he has to go back down no way he clears waivers
What? Since Petruzelli is currently on an AHL contract any team, literally any team, could sign him to an NHL contract. Since no team has, why do you think they would claim him on waivers?

To make your argument Minten would have to be compared to who he originally wanted. Geniuses don't sign a guy then give a first to get rid of him. To me he is gambling.

uh cause Calvin Pickard got picked off of us and he stunk and Petru is doing well in the AHL and lots of teams could use a backup and of course...the Leafs;)
 
Ok at what point do we have to question the leafs training staff? Ice??? Whoever

Freddie. Mystery knee
Jack. Knee and groin. Twice
Woll.
Murray
Sammy.
Mrazek

Wait,

Why would Petruzzelli have to go through waivers? As far as I can tell he's exempt, unless he has to go through waivers to come up?
 
They'll officially sign Petruzzelli tomorrow. And I hope they actually give him a start, too. I'd trust a cardboard cut-out more than Kallgren.

Foligno back injury
Nash Knee
Murry
Mrazek

These players have had a history of injuries
That's not on our training staff, that's on super GM and pro scouts who only looks at data sheets, not games
 
So, Petruzzelli is exempt from both entry and sending down waivers.

The issue is he played today, so he likely wouldn't play tomorrow. I would want to give him a game, Kallgren is a walking loss against bottom feeders so far.

The entire league has injury histories… that’s the nature of a physical sport.

Find me a single player in this league who has never been injured

Dubas hasn't done so great trying to rig up goalies...

IF the Leafs sign Petruzzelli and IF he plays better than Kallgren, it may work in our favour.

Kallgren cost us points against bottom feeders like Arizona, SJ, and LA. Kallgren put up bad numbers in the AHL this season and is below a .900 NHL goalie, Petr is putting up great numbers.

If we have to go multiple games with Kallgren as the starter, we may be fighting for a playoff spot.

Unfortunately with injuries there's no real guaranteed prevention options.

Athletes will be injured, it's ultimately just a matter of time

It seems like an awful lot of goalies in a row. Not every team has both goalies injured for multiple years straight.

This is since the pandemic every single year we have had stretches of no 3 goalies.

Dubas said the guy we wanted got taken. Meaning 1 or 2 spots before he pulled the trigger. A good GM trades up if it's a star. I simply don't agree with Dubas throwing away picks. How is Mrazek playing cause now we could use him. If we lose first round again I want 3 firings and bringing in proven management. This has been one long experiment. How many of Dubas picks will have impact? Will he trade another first to get out of his own mess..again?
Mrazek is injured, and Chicago is in the same goalie mess the Leafs are, This past week they signed former Oiler Dylan Wells, who started the season with their ECHL affiliate.

I wonder who we sign? Afterall, we only have one goalie who could walk next year.
