Thread: Leafs need grit and leadership
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NYRxLundqvist</b></div><div>Great trade what a waste of time you trash players are worth nothing you’ll be lucky to get a 3rd for foligno</div></div>

Foligno is not trash. The return here is optimistic but he is exactly the kind of player Leafs need.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Boomer125</b></div><div>Yes the Minnesota players scream leadership and grit with all their winning habits</div></div>

Wild are a team greater than the sum of their parts Leafs are a team less than the sum of their parts
Foligno is a leader but it's his defensive awareness, grit and energy that Leafs need most.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Random2152</b></div><div>Did you just forget the whole Babcock saga? Kinda difficult to argue record when the first quarter is tainted.

And I find it funny that the leafs losing badly to the only team in the league who uses analytics as much as the leafs do has people saying that we need LESS analytics and not more.

It's almost like people are trying to spin their own bull**** narratives around this.</div></div>

What is the difference in record since the coaching change? I know you had a initial turnaround, but lately the results look the same as the beginning of the season.

Leafs currently have a guy named Clifford who plays a similar role as Foligno, but the national guys on the NHL radio network are in complete agreement that the Leafs need more guys like Clifford.

Thread: Trade with MTL
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MNBassman</b></div><div>I’ve read that too, but it’s just his opinion...</div></div>

Interesting tidbit I just read from <a href="https://theathletic.com/1612001/2020/02/17/who-is-on-the-hot-seat-with-a-week-to-go-before-the-nhl-trade-deadline/?source=shared-article" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">this article</a>... "Ideally GM Don Waddell would like to add a defenseman with term, as in Jonas Brodin or Matt Dumba but the asking price for either Minnesota defender is high." Using this along with the fact we have heard Russo even mention Necas makes me speculate that Guerin is being firm with Waddell and is saying something like "unless we get Necas, no deal". This is pure speculation though and I'm probably using a microscope between the lines but it does make some sense.

Thread: Warning unpopular opinion ahead
i said it a few year back and i'll say it again
Just like Wendell Clark you guys swear he's the solution when in reality its just more of the same .


Trade Mathews and you'll become a contender immediately
he's gone when his contracts up 99/100 times and likely returning to ARZ

if TML had a clue they'd make Marner their youth leader and Tavares continuing as the veteran leader.
Move Mathews for a bundle that gets you Dvorak who tore it up putting Marner on the map in Junior as his Center.
Dvorak , Keller , 1st and some other pieces wouldnt be unreasonable given what the few 1st OA players traded got in return .

or you can keep shoveling crap and starting out strong to just miss the playoffs .
i always like Doughty 2016 response to if he's worried about facing the Leafs offense in the playoffs potentially .
'' its only Janurary , give them time they'll eliminate themselves from the playoffs ''

its so true as you always do and its 100% always your guys fault for putting more importance on Jersey sales then putting a winning team together
