Priority is leaning to offence but if we do add on defence I suspect the play is to set up a Benny/Cabe bottom pairing.

Rielly-Tanev
OEL-_____
Benny-McCabe

Proven playoff warriors that work and bring the pain. Get another one with size and I'd rate that d corps the strongest going into the tournament.

Ha.

No.

I haven't really followed Jiricek's progress so maybe his development has just been way more underwhelming than I thought but that trade seems light. Perhaps we don't have the appropriate pieces not having a 1st this year, but that's a trade I would have been very ok with us doing. Getting good D is tough once they've developed so you either have to draft them yourself or made a shrewd trade when someone else is willing to trade one before he's developed.

Jiricek coming with red flag. It's a player who don't want to commit in a team system and that's the reason why Waddel traded him

leafs gaving poor prospect pool and draft pick. Sending majority of good pick next 2 for a ridk, doesn't make sense st all contrairly to minnesota who having a pretty good prospect pool and could eqsily take the risk...

Plus... he's still a prospect... we aren't exactly known for developing D prospects that well.

Matthews didn't score last night and the Leafs have a winning record whenever he's is out of the lineup... they should trade him.

What cause I didn't say Matthews was worth Hughes + Bratt + Meier + Hamilton + Markstrom you feel like the Leafs are getting a bad deal?

This is exactly why the Leafs will never win a cup while fans of other teams laugh at us. Everyone wants a change to the core to re-balance the roster. But any trade suggestions are mocked because those same fans think these players, the exact same ones they are crying about wanting off the team because too soft and greedy and haven't won anything, are worth soooooo much they're deathly afraid to lose a trade unless it's unbelievably lopsided in the Leafs favour.

Some fans get exactly what they deserve in their hometown team.
