yes, it's true that canucks fans really do care about the leafs more than their own team.

Because Samsonov had a bad game after starting 8 straight? They need another top 6 forward and more depth scoring if anything

Imagine being so insecure that you get all defensive and mad when someone makes a very legitimate observation.

7 straight actually and no Toronto does not need another top 6 forward

They need depth scoring. Guys who can go in the bottom 6 and score/make an impact. As honestly Jarnkrok being in the top 6 is perfect

Top 6 is set bottom 6 needs work fast

People forget Matt Murray won b2b cups only other goalie to do that in the modern era Vasilesky.

Murray stays healthy its not hard to imagine them winning. That said they need to improve the bottom 6

Hard to credit murray when his track record has been inconsistent. He has been playing better in toronto compared to the sens but still not as good as his time with the pens, I hope im wrong tho

You don't think so? 2LW is a hole in my opinion. Jarnkrok is fine temporarily but you need someone better there for the playoffs I think and betting on Knies to be that is foolish

Lets say leafs go get Meier and he gets shutdown then what.

Getting 2-3 good depth guys for the bottom 6 needs to be priority as one Meier is not gonna change anything

Bruins, Tampa put pressure on the top 6 whose scoring Kerfoot, Engvall, Kampf NAH

Like if we look tonight Boston got

2 goals from Zacha (3rd liner)
1 goal from Pasta (top 6)
and
2 goals from Dmen

Toronto got a goal from Marner on the PP and Jarnkrok

Where were our bottom 6....Getting cooked

I think they need a Kerfoot upgrade (someone who can play defense but can score too), and a rental that is more reliable than Sandin, because the Sandin-Holl and Sandin-Liljegren pairings are getting caught making mistakes too often.

I wonder who they can get other than ROR and Toews. Garland seems like an okay idea but I don't like that he can't play C.

More than Kerfoot

They need a whole new 3rd line

Get Kampf and Engvall on the 4th line with Holmberg then go get 3 guys for our third line who can score, drive play, while also not sacrificing anything defensively

As for Sandin hes fine one bad game does not define what he brings. As in general nobody looked good in that game and sure Matthews is out but no excuses

3 new forwards seems unrealistic. I can see them getting two new forwards, but it's probably going to rely on Jarnkrok getting shifted down to the 3rd line by bringing in a guy who is all offense like Domi along with Toews for example. Maybe Barbashev+O'Reilly (but sounds like he might get resigned) but the cost will likely be too much for Dubas to want to pull the trigger.

I wonder if they Leafs can get Troy Terry, he's a RH shot so they might not be interested and I'm guessing the cost will be astronomical especially with his low cap hit on this season.

Its really not

Tampa last TDL went out and got

Hagel, Paul, Nash all of whome helped them make it to the finals

Colorado when they won the cup

Went out and got

Sturm, Lehkonen, Cogliano, etc all of whom helped them win the cup

Toronto going out and getting 3 forwards is a need at this point as if we look above people saying its unrealistic is just false. As if we go in with this current bottom 6 or just add 1 guy to it yea early vacation in the golf fields incoming
