Why on God's green earth would you want Duchene on your team??? The Leafs FINALLY are building something decent, something competitive and you want to add a smug, egomaniacal cancer like Duchene to your team?!?! And to top it off, you want Bobby "can't skate" Ryan on your team... Back to the old Leafs for you.

Some Ottawa fan was making Leafs trades

Gardiner, J.
Dermott, T.
Rosén, C.

for 2 soon to be UFA

So having a # ! D is so important. Karlsson and his Sens, check their record in his during his career. How many rounds of playoffs has Hedman won? Or Pietrangelo? Brett Burns? Or OEL? Some fans are just so mesmerized about the magic of this # 1 one, all logic is blurred, and now it's a race on who can make the worst trade to obtain one.

Notice how everyone is piling the hate on Gardiner...imagine what they'd do after giving up 6 premium assets for a player that will only outscore Jake by 20-30 points and play about the same in his own end.

Duchene has only 1 year left on his current deal, let him become a UFA and walk.

The premises of the Karlsson deal is Ottawa insisting on Ryan being included.


I improved the d by alot I think and offense still be okay to win the cup.
