Not when they lose in the 1st round and Giordano walks.

If either of those things don't happen, then I'll probably have a different opinion, but for right now.... Not a fan.



This 👆🏻

And I personally struggle to see the fit with Gio.

Like the Blackwell add tho

It seems so baffling to me, that the leafs traded for Giordano. They literally don't have an top 4 nhl caliber RHD. I think Mayfield + clutterbuck for 1st + 3rd + Dermott would've made more sense.

Reilly - Lybushkin
Muzzin - Mayfield
Sandin - Brodie

I rather that over:

Reilly- Lybushkin
Giordano - Sandin
Muzzin - Brodie

Anyway that's my opinion.


Its a call back to tampa i guess like
Hedman
McDonaugh
Sergachev

The leafs version is
Rielly
Giordano
Muzzin

w/ The Cernak being Brodie. So then its Rutta, Bogosian and Cal Foote vs. Sandin, Lijlegren and Lybushkin

He's LHD
even tho he plays right side


Still he did well in Calgary as their RD with Gio. And Rielly-Brodie has been a good pairing. I see no issue. As Lybushkin has been good and so has Liligren and Holl in the right situations

Remember Tampa's right side was Rutta, Schenn, Cernak at one point

Come on, can't we have a trade for once?

It's been ages since we had some ACTION.

My thoughts in the trades:

Hagg trade is fair, if ekblad was out, I'd target a top 4 dman, but with no prospects left, or picks left, that's fine. A better target imo would've been Colin Miller.

WTF are you doing Dorion?!?! Another josh brown, gimme a break.. Vancouver should've paid a 3rd to dump him, not ottawa. 2 × 3m!!!!

Then, you see how much stecher got (cheaper, better) , that's a nice addition for LAK. Where are those wings fans that said "Yzerman will get 3rd or 2nd for him"

Slight overpay for Vancouver imo, but could be a very interesting acquisition. Nice.

The even worse thing here is that OTT paid a third for Hamonic instead of taking Myers for free from waivers...

Thing is, if I'd put Jack Campbell in back of that tampa defense, i don't think those cups are there. It's vasilevskiy. Offense are similar. Defense are similar. Goaltending is tampas edge by a very wide margin.

Except their offense and defense isn't similar. TB forwards actually perform in the playoffs unlike Leafs ones have and that defense is miles better than Leafs has.

I mean Nylander and Kerfoot performed. Now its time for everyone else to pick it up and follow their example.

As if they all perform then nothing is off limits.

That and stay healthy. No more Muzzin injuries or accidental knees to the head please

Actually it's close.

Bunting = Palat
Matthews > Point
Marner < Kucherov
Mikheyev <<< Killorn
Tavares >> Cirelli
Nylander = Stamkos
Kerfoot = Coleman
Kampf << Gourde
Kase = Goodrow

In general if the Leafs perform like they are rn in the post season and commit to this new way of playing and Campbell returns to form they are fine. As we saw against Carolina what they can do when they put their mind to it.
