Thread: Leafs Next Move

I honestly don’t even think it’s the quality of the d-men in toronto that is the issue, IMO it’s a fundamental issue when it comes to the team defending their own zone. They’re so aggressive in the offensive zone (which they should be...to a point), that it results in way too many high quality scoring chances coming the other way.

You could stack that D, but at the end of the day, you can only let up so many odd man rushes before bad sh1t happens.</div></div>

The Leafs have stated that we are looking to trade for a defenceman with term. You can't do that without making a splash. We aren't looking for short term help. And you could be right, but this is a fantasy trading website, not a place to change our defensive scheme. This trade makes sense for improving our team this year and the future.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JaredOfLondon</b></div><div>you want to pay a guy who cant play defence 6 million for the next 4 years? and its not that galch isnt great, its that he is below replacement level. when i said might be the worst defensive forward in the NHL i meant it. he is really that bad. he is worse than every option the leafs currently have.</div></div>

Dumba has shown (prior to this year) that he can be a solid defenseman in this league. Yes he is more offensive minded, but Barrie will leave a hole next season that can be filled by Dumba. I also think he is better defensively than Barrie is. And Galch has proven in this league that he can score and put up points and there is no way we are worse off with him the Timoshov or the Goat. No way.
