Thread: Tavares-Nylander magic plus Rielly-Gudas

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>As we have seen Reilly doesn't need a slow moving Dman to play his best. Sign Gudas if you want, but a player like Holl seems a better fit as partner That Gudas $$$ 4m is way too high. Holl might deserve more as UFA. Engvall isn't taking a pay cut.</div></div>

Finally came around on Holl I see.

Thread: Georgiev

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>WalterT</b></div><div>Georgiev is young though. It could be worth it</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>wingss</b></div><div>In 4 years I would expect us to be in the playoffs. Larkin is 28, Mantha and Bertuzzi are 30, Hronek is 25, Zadina is 24, Seider is 22, plus whatever other prospects develop/we get till then. Georgiev would be 28 as well. I think its fine. And again, we cant even take the next step until we get a goalie. They are probably one of the most important pieces in a rebuild. It allows the young players to be able to make mistakes and not have it cost us every time like having Howard in goal does.</div></div>

He may get you wins that you don't need and cost you draft positions in the process.

Sell everything and everyone and maybe win something again someday.

Thread: Georgiev

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>wingss</b></div><div>On the outside looking in, yes. But until we get a goalie, we are never going to be able to improve. Our defense is horrible, and we give up a lot of shots per night, but if you look at the advanced stats, we aren't giving up a large amount more of HIGH QUALITY scoring chances per game than a lot of other teams. So basically when teams with good goalies would get a save, we do not.</div></div>

That may be true but it is entirely irrelevant. You may have 5 players on your roster worth keeping and they'll be on the back nine once this organization turns it around. Bottom out first and worry about a goalie when you've got some players.

Thread: Finding a backup

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>Knowing how erratic Leafs fans are in their mood from game to game, I'm expecting to see "Trade Andersson" posts. Last two games Andersson has allowed three and six goals. A 4.50 GAA. Hutchinson in the past two weeks his GAA is 1.0. Therefore Hutchinson should be promoted to the starter as the Leaf sjust can't afford a 5m back up.</div></div>

After the All-star snub maybe Andersen wants to go. Mister"I can't play defence and instead take endless useless wrist shots from the point" gets the nod but the team's MVP?

Thread: Canes best team now only need good top 6

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PleaseBanMeForMyOwnGood</b></div><div>I am not sure that is true. The leafs have pretty stellar depth and once Johnsson comes back there are guys who will have to go on waivers that deserve to be in the lineup. Moving one of Kapanen or Johnsson for an upgrade over Ceci makes a lot of sense. I think this trade would have to be pondered deeply.</div></div>

TVR isn't an upgrade. Moving Ceci for an upgrade makes sense but we're talking about the 6th D spot. They can call up an upgrade.

Thread: ARE THERE ANYMORE NON-BELIEVERS IN THE LEAFS

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>oneX</b></div><div>It was was pointed out on Leafs Lunch that Andersen is on pace to play 70 games this season. So much for having a fresh starting goalie for the playoffs.

I guess tonight may be a big night to figure out if a proper backup goalie is needed.
70 games pace is just nuts....honestly, 60 games is too much imo but it's going to be 60 games easy the way things are going.</div></div>

They had no choice but to play him until the team found its confidence again. Rest for him is pointless if they were to miss the playoffs.

Thread: ARE THERE ANYMORE NON-BELIEVERS IN THE LEAFS

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>A team going 6-3-1 would be excellent by any standards on a year round basis. Maybe as fans we don't appreciate good coaching or recognize bad coaching as such a detriment to a team.
I was frustrated by Babcock's game management for years and I'm sure the players think Babcock cost the Leafs games and at least one playoff series.</div></div>

Babcock was great with the rebuild and Lou at the helm. Some of his decisions were questionable but the results were there in the regular season. He simply couldn't adapt to a change in philosophy and his ego was no longer needed.

The team under Keefe is certainly a breath of fresh air and entertaining to watch.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BCAPP</b></div><div>If they can get adequate backup. They don't even need average.

They're comfortably in a playoff spot if their backups were 2-4-1 for 5 points which is still ****ty instead of 0-6-1</div></div>

A lot of focus is on the record of the backup, which has been their Achilles heel, but with Andersen in net, they're one of the best teams in the league. He is 7 games above .500.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Capitalfail67</b></div><div>I mean they are 6-4 their last 10 games..... Btw 6-4 would be tied for 5th in the metro for win/lose in the last 10 games. Have they played better since the new coach? Yeah but they are still not as good as advertised. Long way to being a THE top team in the east. They also are 2 points away from being 5th in their own division hardly powerhouse status. I bet your excited maybe just type this up and delete it after. Just saying nobody likes bragging especially when the results are average to good. Tml are trending in the right direction but they also have played a fairing easy schedule.</div></div>

9-4 with their new coach. A little more like what was expected to begin the season.

If they can get even average backup goaltending moving forward, they'll be fine.

Led their division last year, 6th today. Duchene in, Subban out. There is time to turn it around but something is amiss.

No love at all for Subban? How is Nashville doing without him??

NJ has been awful for years with them needing an MVP to drag them into the playoffs. Let's cut P.K a little slack here. A deal of this sort would be excellent.

Thread: Why not be bold

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PleaseBanMeForMyOwnGood</b></div><div>I just think you need to add a little to convince them to take Ceci</div></div>

With Lehner's cap hit, few teams can take him without salary going the other way and even fewer teams need him. The idea of having to pay to rid themselves of Ceci made sense in the summer but now that teams are beginning to think about selling, expiring contracts like Cecil's are irrelevant or in some cases welcomed for the tank.

He's just salary and a body heading in the other direction. The pick is all that matters and goalies seldom get high picks especially as a rental.

31 teams, 6 defensemen per, we're talking about players that don't crack the top 100. The difference between them isn't worth the conversation.

Dollars remain the deciding factor.
