<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BergevinBurner</b></div><div>So Teasdale,Chiarot, Poehling, Allen, Danault and Romanov for Nylander and a first??

Hard pass.</div></div>

And Campbell and a second. It's funny how Canadiens fans thinks they are giving up too much and leafs fans think they are giving up too much.

I appreciate the try but this would never happened.

Thread: A grittier more balanced Leaf

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>leafs101</b></div><div>I agree we could use some more gritty players, but I am strongly against moving Kapanen. I'd move Johnsson, Kerfoot, or Mikheyev first.</div></div>

While gritty and fast, he can't hit the net. The bars, the boards/glass sure but struggles to hit the net.

I'm for moving Nylander before kapanen but think they both need to go for big changes

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JaredOfLondon</b></div><div>If you arnt first your last eh? Is that why the first round is so important? Cause i could swear that other teams that made the 2nd round and failed arnt getting this crap.

Where did I say the goal was getting to the 2nd round? I said they can't get past the first round. You cant win a cup (which is still the goal in hockey right?) If you can't get by the first round.

Thread: Adding some grit

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JaredOfLondon</b></div><div>yeah, its almost like playing other really good teams and taking them to 6 or 7 games isnt the doom scenario people like to pretend it is.
But sure, make the team worse with worse players, that'll help</div></div>

What is the reward for taking a team to 6/7 games but losing the series? If you aren't first, you're last.

As for making the team worse, I'm not sure you understand what the team needs or their cap situation. Sure the trades may not be perfect, but you seem like you are just blind to their clear issues.

Thread: How strong is this

With 13+ million in cap space, you definitely could use a centre upgrade. Also wouldn't put Alex Nylander on line 2

A good team that can't get past the first round? Ok sure.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PleaseBanMeForMyOwnGood</b></div><div>Take out two empty net goals and they lost 1-0, won 3-0, lost 4-3 in OT, Won 4-3 in OT and lost 1-0. That is a far cry from allowing 3 goals a game. So again, why is everyone shouting defence?</div></div>

Potentially because it was against the weakest offensive team in the playoffs. The leafs btw are not playing Columbus if they have a defense that doesn't collapse during the regular season. I agree they played better defense vs the jackets but can we say the same thing vs Tampa, Pittsburgh, Washington, Carolina, etc?

And bottom line is they lost. Again! This attitude of everything is fine just got beat by a good team or hot goalie is what has kept this team from winning a playoff series in over a decade.

Thread: getting playoff ready

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PleaseBanMeForMyOwnGood</b></div><div>Yeah neither are the Penguins and the Oilers. This pandemic season is just chaos. Any "playoffs" where two teams that were something like 13 points out of a playoff spot make the playoffs makes this mean way less. Props to Columbus though, they played well. But I am not going to overreact and make terrible trades because idiots keep saying defence regardless of if their defence is a problem or not.</div></div>

If you don't think this team has a defensive problem than I feel any conversation isn't worth having.

I don't think you get Manson for that. The ducks would want a difference maker up front and the leafs can't take back more salary. To get a RHD who can be a top 2-3 they will need to give up a decent forward

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PleaseBanMeForMyOwnGood</b></div><div>So you did a great job if making the defence older and worse and also made the forwards less talented. This is all just terrible.</div></div>

You're right I filled the d with grandpa's at 28 and 29 next year. Experienced veterans is what this team needs come playoff time.

Colin Miller is. Sault guy so I can definitely see him on Dubas radar.

Thread: Now realistic bit

Simmonds isn't bad at that price but I would move him up from the checking line. He's a good person to put in the top 3 lines. He brings a front of the net presence the leafs highly lack.

This contradicts everything the Bruins are. They move on because they don't back down. Doubt they trade for Nylander who turtles a lot
