Mackenzie spew BS all the time. Are you buying his 20 man roster for the Leafs next year?
When he starts with "I feel...." he's just spewing junk to fill time. Most "insider" do it these days. They are over saturated and say all kinds of things.
Now people like you think that means you don't have to think any more because you have Mackenzie thinking for you. I ask you to think logically and now you refuse because #1 Mackenzie thinks for you #2 it reinforces your hope that your team to get a good player without having to give up anything of substance.
I ask you to think logically and try and find a trade to relate to your flawed thinking and you have nothing but "Mackenzie said"! Does it make sense that a player gets sold for a record low price? Doesn't matter Mackenzie said!
I have pointed out in this thread
1. Lou's comments that this is a yr for evaluating the organization's players and that trades have to make sense for the long-term, 8-10 yrs down the road.
2. Trotz's comments that the retool is in it's infancy and the isles 2 yrs away.
3. Lou's refusal to move top prospects for 1 yr of EK because of the lack of term on his deal.
4. Lou refusing to pass up adding Dobson & Walhstrom ,even though it meant backing out of the MaxPac trade.
5. Lou,Staple and Gross' comments that indicate the isles view Dobson & Walhstrom as bluechippers.
Bottom line is your team is a seller, facing a buyer's market .
