Thread: Righties ii

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hawksguy81</b></div><div>Tampa Bay easily declines. No chance they include Schmidt in a trade for Brodie. If the Leafs can get a 2nd for Brodie without retaining, they should jump for joy. I'm not even sure Tampa gives up the 2bd for Brodie, but that would be the max.

Hawks probably accept though. But Crevier is nowhere near ready to play on the 3rd pair of a playoff team.</div></div>

Leafs are nothing like a playoff team, so no worries there

aaannnnnd Cap. I believe that is improved D lineup, especially when the going gets tough in playoffs. remember how gassed Brodie & Gio looked last year?

they are untouchable, because they're making a big difference before the end of AM 34's contract?
they are - until Tre figures out they aren't

Meh. He’s not playing when everyone is healthy. He’s not playing over Petro, Theo or whitecloud

....and that is the point of having quality, experienced depth for a Cup run

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>VGKNation702</b></div><div>We’re not moving KK for another defenseman.</div></div>

i don't see KK as a factor in an immediate Cup run (and the Leafs are not near one). Brodie on the other hand, as a 5 or 6D would strengthen an already great defense corps

Thread: Tre Bigger than that

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Fail4Nail</b></div><div>Awesome, you've made them worse. Kostin is a fourth line player you have playing on the first line. And that defense...shesh what a train wreck.</div></div>

people had similar comments about Semenko and McSorley oddly Gretzky and Kurri didn't mind having them on the same ice.
People like Klostin make people like Marner taller. and the space around them wider.
The problem is legit pushback with wheels. something the Leafs do not have and failed to do against the Panthers in round 2

Lose two prospects who won't help them win anything significant in the next four years?
AM34 will not be in his prime forever
Leafs need D now and a legit 2nd line center to replace Tavares, who is showing his age

Thread: what do these guys take

how about zero? Leafs should be in sell mode for RFA players with term remaining on contract
Tanev can be had for cash this summer.
I don't see the Leafs going far in the playoffs, too many nonproducing forwards - not producing offence or defense at the critical moments in games. And the existing D corp is suspect

Thread: Tres Team

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>Yeah Berube's Cup ring suggests he had a great run from January to June with his team.....Since then nothing special.

You really think Berube coaches a defensive juggernaut??? Blues GAA 19th in the league at 3.15, Leafs 21th at 3.17.
Blues Goals for per game 26th, Leafs 7th,
So you think Berube is the answer????</div></div>

Blues personnel aging, look at the key pieces traded or departed as UFAs after that Cup win.
coaches have a shelf life, and so do teams

see any improvement in the Blues after Berube was fired?
or maybe you noticed the GM telling the players changes are just beginning

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>As a Leaf fan, I'm happy Berube isn't GM.....Brutal trades for the Leafs. Next year 13.25m tied in Pronovov, Gudbranson and Graves. Leafs are so much better with 2m McCabe, 11.25m in cap space plus. Niemela, Minten and the first.
Admitting the Leafs would be better this season acquiring three NHL Dmen and giving up just two, but not THAT much better.
By the way is Berube a better coach this Keefe???</div></div>

Yeah, nothing says Cup Drive more than two unproven smallish rookies on the team.
Leafs big weakness is defending, and Niemala does not defend much...

Berube's Cup ring suggest anything?

Thread: Sellers VII

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SomeonesOffended</b></div><div>Leafs aren’t selling McCabe period he’s brad perfect defender very physical and can score</div></div>

Not perfect, and not on a contending team in Toronto. However, he would be an excellent depth add for a contender (like Vancouver with Soucy injured again, or Vegas with Theodore on LTIR)
BTW perfect for the Leafs right now is 6'5" stays at home, defends the crease and blocks shots. Leafs need three of those...
D pairs are one fast + one big. Big & fast is a rare bonus

And for all you Namestikov fans, he's good until the hitting starts - check his playoff stats, invisible as Dmitri Kristoff in the second season

Sure, just like DJ Smith's vote of confidence from management.

it won't, until it does.
No D = not winning playoff rounds
Is Minten going to help the Leafs win playoff rounds this season or next?
