Thread: LEAFS DEADLINE
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jaok3</b></div><div>The way Holmberg has played he shouldn't be moved. Rielly was again lost in his own zone, you would think this long in the league he would start to figure out that he doesn't chase the guy crossing the front of the net that is Bush guy to leave the backdoor play wide open. He has the least d-zone IQ of any d-man on the team.</div></div>
Totally agree with this. To be fair, he is a great OFD with a big emphasis on his offence. He definitely performs in the playoffs in terms of scoring but people completely disregard just how horrible he is on his own end. For years the Leafs have been looking for the perfect RD alongside Rielly and they found Brodie. Now, Brodie is having a terrible year but to be fair not a lot of defenseman are going to look great when you have Rielly bringing you down; that’s how BAD he is on defence.

Thread: Doesnt That Look Nice
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JG1972</b></div><div>I don’t think Boone Jenner and David J r the answers especially considering the amount we’d be giving up for them in this scenario. I highly highly doubt Boone is even worth a first. He’s a mediocre player at best</div></div>

I don't either, but enough Leafs fans on here seem to think otherwise that I figured it's at least worth poking a little fun. Boone and Jiricek aren't going anywhere, so the actual value is irrelevant. But...at a bare minimum he's definitely worth at least the Foligno return (1st and 4th), considering he's a center with similar leadership and grittiness qualities, at half the cap hit, 3x the term, and better production at the time of the trade despite playing 75% of the games.
