<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BallPuckFellow10</b></div><div>Couldn't agree more with you. People need to calm down. Was thinking about making a post like this myself.

Everybody is freaking out about goaltending, last season our save % as a team was .900 flat. We added Murray .906 &amp; Samsonov .896. We are pretty much in the exact same spot there.

We still have to figure out what we are going to do on D. We can afford to move one player and get some assets back or trade for a different defenseman or forward. We have flexibility there.

NAK is a very good add to the bottom 6. Think he plays on a line with 47 &amp; 64. Gaudette &amp; Malgin are depth adds. They likely compete for one spot on the 4th line. Joey Anderson is right there too. Simmonds maybe takes a step back and becomes 13th forward. We still have room for a couple of extra adds from FA to increase the competition. Abruzzese &amp; Steeves could surprise and take a spot, wouldn't count them out, but not factor them in as guaranteed 4th liners.

Leaves us with Robertson. Do you give him a look with 91 &amp; 88? Don't think he is suited to the shutdown role 47 &amp; 64 play, so it would have to be 4th line minutes otherwise. Maybe trade bait with Kerfoot + Holl for upgrade at 2LW. Would look at guys like J.T. Miller, Yanni Gourde, Mangiapane &amp; Necas. A few of them might be too expensive, but that is my thought process.</div></div>

Robertson is a small highly skill guy so IMO he has to play with JT / Willy. If he flops then you could move him for another player or depth elsewhere. Those guys would be great additions but not sure if possible with the cap

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Nathaniel</b></div><div>Excellently put. The headlines change depending on the situation to stir up hate clicks and engagements. All season, Campbell was "not a starter", injured, and terrible aside from one month. Now that he's not a Leaf, we are missing a "key piece" who is being talked about like a must-see, Vezina candidate. Mikheyev is good, but he wanted way too much and got WAY too much. Kase was stellar, but there were too many question marks. The Marlies graduates are going to fill in just nicely in this lineup. Robertson is top 6 ready, Anderson has NHL experience and has been great in our system. Sandin and Liljegren have taken the next step. Engvall was better than Mikheyev during some stretches this season. Murray has experience and is a guy who wants to prove something, and Samsonov is young and being taught by the same man who created the monster we know as Thatcher Demko. This is my least favourite time of year because everyone simultaneously dunks on the Leafs for what they do and what they dont do. Realistically, we have done exactly what we have to, but because we havent loaded up on high end talent (Ie. Detroit, Ottawa) we are worse off now. We already have high end talent that is top 2 in the division. Its also only been 2 whole days of FA, and you dont build a team through FA anyways.</div></div>

Exactly, everyone knew when the core got their contracts, depth pieces were constantly going to be coming in and out. Now that it's happening everyone is freaking out. I like Mikheyev, but i also remember the 10 breakaways he had in the playoffs and didn't score 1... Why not give the young guys a look? You can add depth pieces whenever.

And yeah, Ottawa/Det/ and even BUF all got better, but they were at such lows their improvement looks amazing. We'll see how they actually play. Funny how nobody is questioning Husso, Anton Forsbeg/Talbot, Or whoever Buffalo has in the net. But god forbid the leafs have a 2x cup winner and a young goalie who could still become quality. Dubas isn't done at all yeah. Leafs will be fine and im going to laugh at these tweets/ posts on here in a few months

Thread: First Overall's From the Last Decade Ranked
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hurricanes73</b></div><div>The way I see first overall picks ranked is normally based on projected career. Idk it’s weird seeing power at 5 having a few nhl games under his belt and slaf at 10. Tbh ekblad is last, then nico, then laf, then slaf, and ur list is right the rest of the way up. Nico and laf will flip flop if laf doesn’t take a huge step this year</div></div>

That's fair. Yeah honestly I just feel like Power will have a stronger impact on his team than the last few #1's minus Hughes. We saw in the playoffs how effective a huge dman can be and if you have one who's actually skilled on both ends it's a luxury. So maybe its recency bias I put him up so high. I just don't see laf, slaf, and nico having that impact. But we'll see!
