Why do leafs want quinn hughes? not saying he isn't good, i just dont understand their organizational need for another LH Offense only d especially paying that much lol

im sure others will say this as well but that never stopped me before; morgan rielly is like a carbon copy of quinn hughes, he is the opposite of what the leafs need on defense, AND he plays the wrong side. if anything toronto should be looking to grab a right handed defenseman who is ELITE defensively to play with black ho' mo. im a strong proponent of switching rielly and marner at least to see what happens (marner is better defensively and mo can surely hold his own as a winger) & maybe then this makes sense but even in that case paying this much (cap hit AND assets) for what would end up being your second pair LD is a little crazy for a team in TOR's cap sitch. blowing off all the assets is also iffy considering the future of this team five years down the road is a big ? there is no guarantee that he leaves but AM34 to ARI (or anywhere else) is a real possibility & with the cap hardly going up this offseason bunting & sammy have effectively priced themselves out of this city barring a gio style team friendly deal. WIlly is also up for a big raise sooner rather than later & gio wont be on league min forever. i could go on and on but i think everyone gets the point lol basically they should do the opposite of this IMO.

So many Leaf fans really don't a have clue about roster construction or the future cap. It's always seems to be about what I want now.

Lmao, I'm guilty for wanting to see an all in move as well that sacrifices some future pieces, but Quinn Hughes would never be the guy i'd be making that sacrifice for. Only team i could see paying a ransom for Hughes is NJD and only to unite all 3 Hughes bros

The Leafs don’t need a guy like Hughes
