Making this team tougher - 2nd attempt

Created by: LeafsFanZay
Team: 2021-22 Toronto Maple Leafs
Initial Creation Date: May 9, 2021
Published: May 9, 2021
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
The leafs are hands-down the softest team in the NHL. 31st in the league in hits, 6 fights on the season (3 of which were by Simmonds). This is a joke! Like, I get there are soft teams in this league, but this is just ridiculous. We need HELP!!

On my last one people said that adding Matt Martin on the first line would be a bad idea, so that's not happening. Neither is Gudas or Khaira. Now enjoy the rest!!

If fighting majors are an indication of a NHL teams ability to win games or even playoff games, I would agree you. But since they aren't, what's your point? Most of these "gritty" players you seem to think are big difference have won very few playoff rounds in their career.

I wouldn’t expect boston and toronto to be making any trades. I really wouldn’t expect rental Morgan Reilly to command that kind of price tag. Maybe a team that would be looking to extend him could give up more, but boston having to extend mcavoy basically kills that notion.

I think you could acquire Ryan Reaves for way less then a 3rd rounder.

I think you may have overpayed for Marcus Foligno. I mean he is good but I don't think giving up a talented prospect and a 1st rounder is worth it.

Kerfoot will be traded not lost to Seattle.

No way the Leaf's trade Riley and never to BOS.


As far as fighting goes when was the last time you watched an NHL game? That part of the game is dead. The league Average is 12 and the leaf's have had 8 (not 6) this year. Not that far off.


Now the Leaf's have been a soft team and need players that can play heavy. Part of the reason they went out and got Foligno, Simmonds, Nash

This team is primed for a long run this year. Lets see what they do in the playoffs

teams that rank highest in hits are the ones that don't have the puck for most of the time. think about that and then reconsider the way you think about this team

Marcus foligno is untouchable. He's not available

Wild aren't trading Marcus foligno under any circumstances

Wild don't need anymore wingers who won't play on the team

Also, wild again aren't trading Marcus foligno who they resigned to 3 years deal, & new contract doesn't start till next year

I get the point, Foligno is really valuable to Minnesota, i knew from the get-go it would take a lot more then what i gave up to get Foligno

Reaves is probably worth less than a 3rd rounder, but he is really valuable to VGK

Uncle Moose is very valuable to Minnesota, if anything I UNDERPAYED

It's not only these . It's realistic/ reality that players with contract extensions who didn't even begin yet , & won't until next year aren't going to be traded

Marcus foligno is everything wild. Leader, & amazing player

He's become untouchable.
