Thread: Pretenders or Contenders. . . . I SAY CONTENDER!
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Doug7004</b></div><div>I'm watching Florida fight like crazy for the 2nd WC! If they do get in, I think a Tampa/Florida matchup first round could be a real dog fight. . . . .Not sure if I'm Tampa, I look forward to that! There are going to be no easy outs in these playoffs. If you're Vegas do you like your chances against Anaheim or LA?</div></div>

I agree but how many top 3 teams in the conference are going to have to face potentiality the other top teams to get to the final. I agree if Tampa take florida lightly they might be out quickly. But i do think if we dictated the pace of the game this is going to be a fun run. Vagas are going to be a similar situation to the leafs but in terns of rankings they are going to facing the weaker team. finally the cap has put parity in this league and the might be one of the most entertaining offseasons in some time.

Thread: Next season (if leafs decide to trade Zaitsev)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Subbanator7667</b></div><div>I’m lost on why Florida would basically give Toronto a 2nd round draft pick. Zaitsev and Petrovic are basically the same kind of defenceman, close in age, and he is on a cheaper contract.

To add to that, it also makes no sense for Petrovic to magically sign for another 3 years at the same salary. He will be looking for a raise and wouldn’t just accept a contract to play with Toronto.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jakem139</b></div><div>I don’t think Zaitsev will be traded. He signed a huge deal and that would make the leafs look incompetent. The best thing would be to to is try and figure out his mental game/ try and get some Help for him off the ice. I think he has a lot of great potential it’s just he needs to learn how to use it properly</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Doug7004</b></div><div>Sammy: While the Leafs would love to add a top 4 RDman, does it really make sense to trade the one you have? IMO Zaitsev, signed to a good contract, is the better player and certainly has more upside than Petrovic! Zaitsev has had a rough couple of months, but still fits into the Leafs plan long term! I think the Leafs can do better, giving up less!</div></div>

I'm looking at it now backwards and it was pretty dumb move from my side tbh.

Thread: Change-Up at the Deadline (Four Trades)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Doug7004</b></div><div>Pal: The reason everyone targets the Leafs for their top pairing Dman is that the media, and just about all of us, consider a top 4 Dman our #1 priority! (I also think we need a center upgrade). No one cares when trying to fleece the Leafs (OK Lou cares), how much these guys are making, how much term, what it's going to cost the Leafs, how it fits, how they are currently playing, all they care about is getting 4 future HOF's and 3 top picks or prospects back for a guy (see Shattenkirk and Hanzal) that they are ready to dispose of! (HELLO. . . .Lou is not Chiarelli, and this is not Edmonton). I do think and this is where you and I don't always agree that there is a deal to be made, a need to be filled, a fit to be had, and maybe even with one of the above. Creativity, (not craziness), needs to rule. It can work!
PS. . . . .If you want to see craziness, look at the posts for dealing Pacioretty and Mcdonagh. . . . . I didn't know that they were clones for Gretzky and Orr!</div></div>

Hi Doug: When I see these Dmen to the Leafs with just 1.5 years term, such McDonagh, OEL etc,,,,,and the trades includes. Nylander/Marner.....that's the crazy part to me. There are some rational ones (few). You're right creativity should be the desired thought.
Those McDonagh posts (many of by Rangers fans,,,,,yes I think Bobby Orr of 1970 has returned.
