Thread: How Dubas Dream Trade Could Work For Toronto
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>WJC_Enthusiast</b></div><div>I literally said I wasn't comparing wither Bertuzzi or Domi to him, so you're putting words in my mouth, or keyboard in this case.

And I perfectly remember seeing many people on social media saying Zito overpayed for grit in 2022 when he made that trade.</div></div>

you literally brought up Tkachuk as an example to hype up bertuzzi and domi. If you bring up a player to make a point about another player, you are comparing them. It is very very simple.
and you'll notice that i said people with a brain. There was lots of talk on social media and here about how Bertuzzi and domi and Reaves and all the other gritty guys were gonna change the Leafs culture because they needed grit super bad, but instead the team was worse in every single way except for the core 4 and they even out hit and out fought and out gritted the Bruins and they still lost.
It's almost like the "gotta get tougher" mantra has been a lazy criticism for people who have no idea what they are talking about.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>WJC_Enthusiast</b></div><div>"Everyone"?

Everyone, or at least most peopole, laughed at Zito for moving his number 2 defender, a first rounder, a prospect and his best winger for Tkachuk. Uh, a gritty player, who needs those?

yeah you dingus, turns out playing in the periphery doesn't win a cup. Am I saying Domi and Bertuzzi are carbon copy of Tkachuk? No of course not, but to say they don't have a use to a contending team, as you claim, is completely ridiculous.

my team, the Rangers, has won 3 series in 3 years where as your useless "core" has won ONE in almost a decade. And by the looks of it, it sounds like they're bringing back Shanny and if they do I bet Marner is back. "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results". You're living proof of it.

Marner should've been fired in the sun in 2019 when he screwed the Leafs by wanting to be as close to Matthews as possible. You will NEVER win ANYTHING with 3 forwards counting for ANYTHING close to 50% of your salary cap.

For the almost 11M per Marner has you could have Domi for 4,5, Bertuzzi for 5-5,5 and another depth player. Marner's peak as a Leaf in terms of prestige was 2019. He never came close to it ever again.</div></div>

yep, everyone,
Because you like to make stuff up about the Tkachuk trade where every single person with a brain knew Treliving got cleaned out. You also realize that Tkachuck is an elite player because he is elite at the hockey part of it right? The goal scoring, the play making, the defensive play, the play driving? Yeah, he's elite at all of those things and the grittiness is sprinkes on his cake.
Comparing Bertuzzi or Domi to him even a little is the most dingus thing you could have done
This is why every one is laughing at you

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>WJC_Enthusiast</b></div><div>"Very flawed" is when Bertuzzi is well over PPG with BOS in the playoffs in 23?
"Very flawed" is when Domi outplays Marner and Tavares for most of the series in 24?

Keep defending that core 4 of yours, it's worked so well so far. I can tell you most of the rest of the league is laughing at the MapLe Leafs</div></div>

yes, very flawed Bertuzzi who couldnt hit the net from 2" away the entire series
yes, very flawed domi who took hilariously bad penalties all series and his defensive coverage was so bad that it caused two of the biggest goals against the entire playoffs. And lol at him out playing marner, he was much worse, especially defensively and Marner was like not even half recovered from a high ankle sprain.
Keep defending your over hyped gritty guys because they have famous names, everyone is laughing at you specifically

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>WJC_Enthusiast</b></div><div>Boston had so little cap room they needed to get rid of another 6M cap hit forward in Hall because they couldn't make the money work. And Bertuzzi was always meant to be a rental. So you're completely clueless.

Dallas chose to sign a guy with more high end skills in Duchene, resign Pavs and AGAIN, Domi was never meant to be anything more than a rental. So you're clueless here too.</div></div>

so both teams let them walk despite being 'playoff beasts' and both teams moved on as fast as possible. Sounds like you're clueless to them being valued by teams that know how to win.
"they were supposed to be rentals" no, they were supposed to help them win and didnt because they are very flawed and not worth long term commitment.
