Dubas has said he wants add a player but not a rental, I believe him on this.

Who you target? And do you its possible to get said player?

The recent stretch of games on Severson has me convinced he is wrong guy to add.

I like Dumba would need a 2rd team to retain to make a trade possible.

I like Jokiharju, has potential to be real deal but I find it hard to imagine Sabres trading with Leafs.
Can anyone think of way it would be possible

Someone for the 2nd pairing that is good enough for the first, but is better for the team on the 2nd

The funny thing is people go we need to replace Holl... I am in the middle as I honestly think he needs some time in the pressbox and with the training staff to get his confidence back

This is his stats this year. Notice where the Blue is...





Now what I do think is he is not suited for a top 4 role. I think you try and slide him down to the third pair. But if someone is willing to take him without us paying anything sure. As we all know when hes motivated and in the zone what he can do. He basically gets the job done and Pittsburgh won a cup with a dcore comprised of 5 Holl type players.

So in general idk if we go for a Dman with term as we got one in Holl. Maybe instead they go for another rental Dman but go for a LW like Hagel who has the term. As 1.5mill x 2.5 years is pretty nice.

Ya at this point I think Holl is a pretty good 3rd pairing guy, just not a top 4 guy on a contending team.

If Holl can go back to who he was 2 years ago then he can go back to the top 4. But rn 3rd pair is a safe bet

I agree. The leafs should aquire at least 1 top 4 guy at the deadline, especially with Muzzin out though.

With Friedman's recent report I have no idea what they gonna do. As they saying they aint gonna hold Muzzin out for the season if hes ready to return before the playoffs. That makes 7mill in TDL space go to 2mill. Not alot of good options at 2mill.

Will be a wait and see thing

My guess is it's a lie to make it seem like they aren't in the trade market for big names, when they in fact are. But hey I could be wrong.

Depends. If it’s a left d, rental. If it’s a right d, term.

Holl had a good game tonight against Washington. He's still really a 3rd pair D on a real contender which is why we are discussing adding another top 4 D.

The problem is the coach keeps playing him on the second pair.

7th #38 Rotate Sandin in on the left side to manage minutes for 08 & 55
4th Line isn't producing crap these days anyways so rotate Tavares and Matthews for extra shift with Spezza and ?????

I still think Gio-Brodie should be at least tried again but this wouldn't be bad.

I like the thought of Gio and Brodie back together when Sandin returns to the so Brodie can go back to the right side
Reilly with Lybushin
Sandin with Holl
Liljegren has been playing much better with regular time
Muzzin, he hasn't been good all year.....If he sits till October, I'm fine with that

I feel spreading out the pairings will be better

Muzzin will get the puck mover he needs in Brodie
Gio-Lilegren has been really good so far
And Rielly-Lybushkin has been working JUST LIKE I SAID IT WOULD

Now when Sandin comes back I wonder will Keefe try Gio-Sandin

As man its a tough choice rn.

So...Holl is looking better when he plays with Gio or Brodie but really..
I still think he is a 3rd pair D. I guess the only way to address the D now will be with trades in the off-season.

I think once everyone gets healthy Holl = Pressbox which is fine as depth is important

Liligren since Gio came has taken a huge step in the way he plays and I feel is gonna be a big part of this team. Yes Holl has also been playing well but Liligren has just been insane

Muzzin could be back tommorow so I would look at

Rielly-Lybushkin
Muzzin-Brodie
Giordano-Liligren

Once Sandin comes back I wonder do we run 7 Dman. As you really cant take anyone out rn and I doubt Keefe HS Muzzin.

Like honestly you dont need a complete 4th line 24/7 just double shift someone with them.
