Quoting: BeautifulIdiot
why dont you just critique the trades and no go after us as people. Youre better than that, Do you do this for every fanbase? or just the canucks, we could say a lot of crap about leafs fans but for the most part we hold our tongues.
Give your head a shake
There is no fan base as consistently ridiculous as the Canuckles. Maybe you should go back and read what you & your fellow Canuckle heads were writing in the summer. The team is now what it is and you’ve just shifted the ridiculous to how much you can get for your thoroughly average players. I think the whole lower mainland needs to give their head a shake .
Specific critiques:
1/ Leafs are currently a top 3 defensive team, with our best dman still to come off LTIR ; no chance we send a 3rd for 7th / 8th dman
2/ why would any team give up assets for Myers, especially a team that won’t be making the playoffs? Even with retention, just ridiculous
3/ a1st, a 2nd and a top 5 prospect for a guy with NO playoff track record. Kuzmenko looks good but small sample size and no chance anyone pays that much for dude with no playoff history. Leafs know - Mikheyev looked great at times in reg season but completely disappeared every playoffs. Just unreasonable ask for untested player
4/ 2 1sts + a top 3 prospect for rental Horvat, overpay imo
Now we get to the truly & stupendously ridiculous:
5/ isles top 4 d is amongst the best in league, but they are going to trade a 1st & 4th for OEL, who even with retention is one of the worst contracts in the league. Truly laughable
6/ blue jackets who are in the bedard sweepstakes are going to trade their TOP prospect in Johnson (a franchise 1 or 2C) + a 1st + a 2nd for Miller, who is ageing and about to start a terrible contract , 7x$8. Reprehensible is the only word I can use for this fluff
7/ Nashville will give you Johansen, but unlike your cap dumps (Myers, OEL, Miller) they’ll also add a 1st for the right to do so. Again, laughable
