Yep. This is why I think Hanifin is a great fit. Can provide offence while playing competent defence. He would also still allow for a big wing-span dman on the bottom pair as well.We need D who can move the puck, skate, and have some offensive ability. With our system, our D love to activate offensively, and rightfully so, that is how you have to create offense in this day and age. The problem is that none of them other than Rielly have any modicum of offensive ability. The puck goes on Gio, McCabe, and Brodie's stick to die.
I want more offense from the backend.
I think Hanifin is exactly what we need back there. Someone who can play defence and offence while logging 20+ minutes a night and in their mid 20s.Yep. This is why I think Hanifin is a great fit.

screw that, the Leafs need 6 Tim Hortons, then you can actually have a chance win games with fancy offense and questionable goaltending...........I think Hanifin is exactly what we need back there. Someone who can play defence and offence while logging 20+ minutes a night and in their mid 20s.
The debate would be whether to trade for him and give up strong assets or take a chance and wait until free agency hoping he can make it there.
I think a coaching change is needed but this would be the second coach the “core” has basically tuned out or not given full effort constantly. When does it fall on the players?
how about a new president while were at it............First coach was a psychopath, second coach was a rookie out of his depth who has lasted years too long.
I say we find a sane, seasoned coach and see what he can do.
Tavares = NMCA move in the off-season I would explore.
To Toronto: John Gibson + Max Jones
To Anaheim: John Tavares
Then through free agency sign Elias Lindholm.
Tavares = NMC
We need 2 or we can forget this season as it stands I don’t know if timmins is ready in time Brodie has to go bring in tanev and I guess a hanifan trade would set the bacc end pretty well stop putting players over the hump too high up in the line upI think Hanifin is exactly what we need back there.

I think that McCabe has been quite good since he came back from his injury. I don’t feel that we should be moving him at all. IMHO he’s definitely playing better than the 2 million that we’re paying him and would look good with lily when he returnsI'd try to find a way. McCabe for salary, 1st rounder ++. With Klingberg on IR maybe that works or gets you close cap wise. Think he'd be a very strong add to the top 2/4 if he's for sale. He'd be a more prime style Brodie.
Just curious how come we’re not taking about Weeger? Is he untouchable or is his contract bad?
If we are taking a swing on somebody with term it should be Andersson.Just curious how come we’re not taking about Weeger? Is he untouchable or is his contract bad?

Tanev happens to be fantastic at that. I really hope we acquire him somehow.Can Tanev or zadorov move the puck out of
The szone?
The leafs can’t break out to save their lives
I think hanafin would fit but I don’t really want 7 million next year
I agree but I feel there’s better candidates than McCabe. For what he brings to the team we couldn’t replace for 2 million. I’d move Brodie before McCabe personally but that’s just my opinionIf it means bringing back a top pair guy though, someone has to go to make the money work.
Should be two different parts of the line up so I agreeI agree but I feel there’s better candidates than McCabe. For what he brings to the team we couldn’t replace for 2 million. I’d move Brodie before McCabe personally but that’s just my opinion
We don't have the assets for him .If we are taking a swing on somebody with term it should be Andersson.
I'm on board for Tanev.I wanted tanev same summer we got brodie
I thought if we got both it would solidify the right side finally
Tanev hasn’t been injured and played well, would play even better on a competitive team and finally give rielly a worthy partner
As for keefe
I do think he should have went in the off season
My only question now is if he goes who do we get? Has to be a worthy replacement for this is the decision!!
Can’t just fire for the sake of firing
Yes gallant was the one that catches my eyeI'm on board for Tanev.
Gerard Gallant and Boucher. Quennville would be great but he's blacklisted.
Fire Shanahan
Me too thought I was the only one tanev was the perfect fit but the geek thought get a left that can play the right side instead of rielly perfect partnerI wanted tanev same summer we got brodie
I thought if we got both it would solidify the right side finally

Fire Shanahan is the first move, let the new president decide on whether to keep Tre or not, let whoever’s GM pick a coach, that’s a big step in correcting what wrong with this organization……..I'm on board for Tanev.
Gerard Gallant and Boucher. Quennville would be great but he's blacklisted.
