I want you to know that you did not offend me and you do not owe me any kind of apology. I am the guy that probably owes you the apology for some of my comments. For your information, I am a die hard Maple Leafs fan living out west and along way from Toronto and have taken insults most of my life for being a die hard Maple Leafs fan. I think I was out of line for a fantasy website but I honesty am a big fan of Brown, Liljegran, Brooks and Martin and did not think these were good trades for the Leafs and especially to be aquiring a player who does not appear to be a fan of playing in Canada.

I never proposed trading Brown for Truba but only said that I am not sure if Lou would be willing to trade Connor Brown straight up for Truba. I actually would never trade Brown and would actually have him on my first line with Matthews and Hyman. Brown was McDavid's linemate in Erie so he knows how to play with a talented centre. I would then move Marner into Bozak's centre position and move Nylander to right wing on Marner's line with JVR. I posted the idea of the Leafs acquiring Taveres on a 1 year deal months ago so I do not think I need to do it again.But, I want you to know that I honestly believe the Leafs are going to make a major push for John Tavares and go all in for the 2018-2019 season to win a cup.

As for Brooks he and Sam Steel were great teammates in Regina and I honestly believe Brooks may develope into a quality NHL centre.

Anyways, I can tell that you too are a diehard Maple Leafs fan like me.


Regards

Thread: Just speculating
DCB If you are just speculating then remind me to never invest in anything you are recommending because I think I would lose my shirt.

Lou would vote with his feet and just walk away from you or hang-up on you rather than waisting his time talking to you. You should be contacting Marc Bergevin the most incompetent GM in the NHL to bite on your deal rather than Lou.

There is absolutely no chance the Leafs would be willing to trade Liljegren, Brown and Brooks for Truba. I am not even sure he would be willing to trade Connor Brown straight up for Truba. Liljegran is an elite, elite potentially No.1 offensive defenceman who can quarterback a power play and is the type of game changer defenceman that the Leafs have dreamed of drafting for years. Adam Brooks although not known to most Leafs fans has huge upside as a offensive centre if he can make one final jump from junior to the pros. He is being slow cooked on the Marlies and mentored by Sheldon Keefe so i like his odds of developing. If you do not believe me then give Sam Steel a call and ask him what he thinks of Adam Brooks.

There is no way that the Leafs would trade Matt Martin for a 4rst round pick. Matt Martin is a tremendous team player and mentor to the younger Leafs players and is very popular with his teammates and he protects all his teammates on the ice. He is also a very good friend of John Tavares and I would not be surprised if Tavares signs a 1 year deal to play in TO for 2018-2019 season and trys to win a Stanley Cup and reunite with Babcock and Marleau before he signs his long-term deal. He will also make another $5,000,000 for the season in endorsements playing in TO for the year.You have to realize that hockey is a team sport and the chemistry of a team is very important to the on ice success of a team.
