Thread: What do Leaf fans think of this
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>Certainly on ice value and for the future the Leafs oose big. But if they are desperate to make the playoffs and no reason to think the Leafs are going to make the playoffs....then maybe as Logan suggested the Leafs have to make this trade.</div></div>

Thanks, and the way I see it is, this team isn't perfect but they are better than they have looked earlier. They can't afford to run Andersen into the ground or play a backup who allows 5 goals every game. Something will be done and instead of rolling the dice with some other backup that could very well not work out, why not just go get a guy we know is going to be excellent. If it costs us a good young player to do so, Johnsson's the one I would move.

Thread: Perhaps moving Johnsson is a wise move
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BigAnderson</b></div><div>You’re wearing fan blinders if you think our defense is that good. Rielly is a stud and definitely top pair guy. Muzzin I think is also a top pair worthy Dman. Dermott has developed well and is a good second pair guy stuck on third pair because Rielly, Muzzin, and himself all lefties. On the right, we have Barrie who is a power play specialist, not top pair guy at all. Holl is a safe bottom pair guy who could play more minutes in a pinch, and Ceci is also a bottom pairing guy but not nearly as safe with his play, thrust into a spot that is above his ability. Far too many times he gets caught puck chasing instead of playing his position. This is especially troublesome on Ceci’s part on the pk. Leafs are one defenseman who plays strong along the boards away from being a good defensive team</div></div>

Yeah I'd like an upgrade on Ceci as well but it may not happen. After today I am firmly on board of needing a backup. Hutch just isn't good enough
