Worse! You literally downgraded on every trade.

If you liked zaitsev then you will like Manson.

You have taken away a lot of space red and skill from the forward group. Good luck signing Robertson after you blow up his stats on that line lol.

Just way too much roster roll over here. Have you ever considered trying something more reasonable?

"space red" auto-correct for "speed"?

Despite the many times I've said We don't need Andreas Johnsson, I would jump at this offer, so that tells you whether it's fair or not.

My phone constantly has delusions that it is more capable of forming a coherent sentence than I....

Liljegren has s the main piece there. Certainly fits your team build better than Manson.

Personally I didn’t mind zaitsev. His contract was a bit much and too long. Manson wouldn’t be a horrible addition, it’s the price that bothers me. Moving liljegren now would be really poor asset management if it wasn’t part of a package for a perfect return.

You mean, like continuing to get knocked out in the first round? If things stay the same, expect more of that. Much more.

Liljegren has proven nothing. Stop beating the Timothy Liljegren drum like its even worth hearing. The guy is a bottom pair defender at best.

You have zero vision, sorry to say. Liljegren is developing a nice two way game that fits the leafs style.
Fabbro is a nice addition but the preds decline that offer.... and so do the leafs.

And you are blinded by your own hometown team horse**** and the crap they are spewing.

This team makes the playoff without question and when they get there, they are much better suited to play a more balanced game.

Any way you slice it, the Leafs, as constructed, are a very, very easy team to play against in the post season. Running out the same lineup and expecting a different result is insanity IMO.

WAYYYYYYYY too many passengers on this team. Matthews, Tavares, Marner, Rielly and Robertson all stay. The rest of them... whatever. Give me players that will sacrifice and give it ALL that they have.

This powder puff crew is nowhere near a championship calibre team. Hell, they couldn't even carry the bags for a Championship calibre team.

Not blinded by anything. Your trades are bad, sorry.

Toronto’s biggest problem in the play in was the lack of contribution from the bottom 6.... so you replace them with less productive players.

In fact I don’t think you added one player that has been to the 2nd round of the playoffs.

Pffft. Then they'll fit right in with this soft-loser group won't they? And.... you are wrong there. Sissons played in a SC Final and Manson in a CF so, check your facts on that because that kind of experience is important.

I would take this version over that garbage they roll out now.

Beyond, 34, 91, 44, 16, 89 and 11... they can all go as far as I'm concerned.

What they are trying to build doesn't work.

You need a balance of ingredients to make a great salad. The Leafs are big bowl of overpriced fancy lettuce. No substance.

I'd be happy with a bottom six like this. Very happy. Much more so than that group of overpriced flyboys who do nothing when it counts.
