Pat Kane in shambles v2.

At this point I hope he says he really wants to come to EDM, maybe that will be the trigger for us getting the defenseman we need lmao

For two forwards with 75 % retention on O'Reilly. And we didn't even give up a top prospect.

Giving up a 1st is giving up a top prospect, especially in a draft like this year. The leafs better win it all this year because the Calvary is not coming to save them.

Very happy with the return the Blues got here, these picks give us some versatility on what to do this offseason in terms of a rebuild or retool. Hopefully they can do some more trades before the TDL.

It's gonna be a hindsight move.

It probably won't be enough.

But at this point, f*** it. We have to be all in and Dubas has to be all in and watch and see and hope for the best.

Simple as that.



I quietly think Marner is the problem along with Keefe.

Uh oh, I shouldn't hit Post Reply.

The problem is a nebulous problem of not having a killer instinct. In the critical moments they just take the foot off the gas. O’Reilly is the opposite of that. He’s definitely going to help in the area of mental toughness.

Keefe is a good coach but still inexperienced and will often get out coached especially in the playoffs. I don’t think he’s the problem but neither is he the solution. His systems are good but he’s not a motivator. O’Reilly is basically a playing coach in this situation who can also help from the bench.

Toronto should be buyers and made a good acquisitions in this trade. RoR added as center adds flexibility and probably makes sure that Nylander can play as a winger where his as best even with one or two injuries.

It may or may not be enough, but ROR is probably the most significant player the Leafs have added to the team at the trade deadline in recent memory that could potentially make the largest impact in the playoffs. I feel better about the Leafs chances against the Lightning with ROR than without.

Also this is the kind of 'all in' that I can live with where they trade mostly picks and a lesser prospect for a type of player that the Leafs have a dire need for. If Dubas wants to add a piece or two more lets hope he keeps making trades like this rather than giving up any of our best prospects.

Now continue to be a good stats guy and post the likelihood of a late first round pick being a quality NHLer.

Or I will.

Seems like a win-win

This is the third straight season that Kyle Dubas has traded for another teams captain.

2021: Trades for Nick Foligno.

2022: Trades for Mark Giordano.

2023: Trades for Ryan O'Reilly.

Welp...as a non-Leafs fan, it does look as if Dubas IS getting better at this.

My next question is....are the Leafs done?

The best part is how people say ROR and Acciari aren't worth a 1st rounder, but *Barclay Goodrow* was worth that. Natch Blake Coleman.

Neither had won a Cup. Neither had been a Conn Smythe winner. Both were young NHL players trying to make their mark, and were unknown commodities.

But yeah... ROR isn't worth a 1st. FFS.

It wasn’t Goodrow for a 1st, Sharks sent a 3rd back with Goodrow lol. And it wasn’t ROR for a 1st, it was ROR for a 1st, 2nd, 3rd & 4th lmao.

The Maple Leafs shipping off a 1st rounder in a deep draft to acquire a declining, over the hill 3C will never not be funny to me.

Then you are either deeply insane like the Joker or just trying too hard to find a negative in an obvious improvement by the team.

Seriously it's better to say nothing than try too hard and fail.
 
I’m hoping this one works out, just for the interest having the East becoming more stacked

The draft is good but it’s not projected as too out of the ordinary outside the very top.
In the late 20s it’s probably a fairly normal draft.

I don’t love the deal for Toronto, but I absolutely think they should go all-in every year.
