50Leafs 2023 2024 Season Discussion Part 5 - TDL additions (Go Big or Go Small)
I love how Philly healthy scratches their captain...beats us (in a game in which they had 2 seeing eye shots find their way through traffic and we hit a billion posts) and the knee-jerk reaction is that we should start benching our stars.
Not saying it wasn't a sloppy game and all due to bad luck...but if one of ours goes in and one of theirs doesn't...then Torts gets blasted even more for his idiotic decision and handling of the scratches

Stephenson to me is to much of a gamble and we saw VGK basically just trade for his replacement rather than decide to extend him. Seems a bit odd. To me hes gonna get a deal teams will regret
He was great at 2.75m but considering how meh the C market is someone is gonna be stupid and overpay for him and say here is 6m
Rn the prospects are starting to make noise and it never hurts to leave a spot up for grabs. Its basically what BOS did and it kind of worked. As in the end its always good to keep all options open
Now if you can somehow convince Drai to leave EDM or a good candidate becomes available for trade **** all that lets go lul</div></div>
remember when I specifically said:<em> THis is completely separate from the argument about how much cap you have to spend, what prices will be and how is best to allocate it....or whether you like any of the UFA centres or their likely prices</em> ??
The philosphy of a contending team not signing a UFA that fills a void in your roster because you want to hold that spot open for a prospect that might be able to fill that role in 3+ years is backwards.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aadoyle</b></div><div>Of course not nobody would do that unless Minten really showed something interesting like Cirelli or Poitras did or if Leafs were extremely tight against the cap
Never should be plan A but also should try not to commit to someone longterm at 2c if he can become an option (unless its Draisaitl)
Maybe u try for a 1 year deal with someone but yea got to keep all options open rather than commit to someone else for years and not giving the prospects a chance
But rn its a wait and see but I am liking what I have seen out of Minten.</div></div>
I just think that's a backwards way of looking at it. If there's a guy available now that you're comfortable with for 3-4 years...you don't NOT sign him because you want to keep the spot open for a 50-50 prospect. If Minten actually pans out...then great...now you have a middle 6 C on an entry level deal.
Same would apply for Cowan...or Niemala....until they show you that they're ready to take a roster spot...you don't intentionally leave a hole in the roster waiting for them to hopefully fill it one day.
Like if they could somehow sign Chandler Stephenson to a good contract...you don't decline that.
THis is completely separate from the argument about how much cap you have to spend, what prices will be and how is best to allocate it....or whether you like any of the UFA centres or their likely prices...just philosophically...you improve the team the best you can and if a young kid emerges...that's bonus and you figure out how to alter the roster later.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aadoyle</b></div><div>I find with these guys its a you never know as prospects can all of a sudden go hey check this out
Like Matthew Poitras (same draft year a few spots lower) came out of no where. Minten had a good camp last year and it did earn him a spot granted for a short time but it did help a bit and through watching him his game is only continuing to grow more and more. So its a wait and see but would not surprise me if he possibly forces the issue in a year or two as nothing wrong with integrating some ELC's into the roster.</div></div>
Sure...of course there's examples of guys working out. I'm just saying a competent GM trying to ice a cup contender doesn't make Fraser Minten your Plan A at 2C. I can see them trying to squeeze whatever Tavares has left in the tank for one more year as the 2C and focusing on the blue line this offseason (and, realistically, that's what they should be doing)...but if they could land a guy on a reasonable deal that can plug the 2C whole ahead of time, all the better.

But between 2024 and 2025 it seems 2025 has the better C options and ones that are more up Brad's lane
Moving back to Minten honestly I can see him eventually being the future 2c for TOR as he gives off Cirelli like vibes</div></div>
Sometime down the road...maybe...I don't see him as a 2C on a cup contending team inside of the next 4-5 years and we need someone to fill that role once they realize JT is no longer the answer.

Guess who's the special teams coach and is taking the flack for the lack of adjustments? Boucher
I think having multiple lines being all lefties hurts as well
In the top 9, you have: Matthews (Lefty), Nylander (Righty), Bert (Lefty), JT (Lefty), Domi (Lefty), Knies (Lefty), Holmberg (Lefty), Robertson (Lefty) and McMann (Lefty) filling when needed
8 lefties to 1 righty is an issue and why Jarnkrok playing with Matthews and Bert worked so well with the other lines...</div></div>
So...if I said the analytics guys are giving them the data but, when it's crunch time, Keefe ignores it and goes with his gut...fire him...it's simple.
Does that make me right just because I added "it's simple"?
Also...the inconsistencies on the power play pre-date Boucher...so we can keep going back and blame the assistant running special teams or...at some point...you need to look to the guy who's accountable for the staff and holding the players responsible, too.
I'm not hollering for him to be fired immediately...but I'm not glossing over his glaring shortcomings, either.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>oneX</b></div><div>Well put.
Adding the no adjustments to your list is just another reason why he isn't the coach that will inspire this team to do the things needed to win, especially in the playoffs.
Edit: I'll even add consistency in effort to the list. They have streches where it looks like they can beat anyone and then have streches where they can't beat anyone.</div></div>
While I don't hate on Keefe to the same extent as some...I definitely agree with the lack of adjusting.
On the one hand...I do feel you need to give certain combos 3 or so games to see if they work. I find whenever he does try something new...it's for 1 game or 1 period....but that's what the first half of the season should be for.
As for the Power Play...again...it's an adjustment thing. Way too simplistic a reaction by some here to say it's simply getting cold...need to get Matthews the puck...guy just need to step up, etc...our PP was absolute fire last month...and teams scout that, prep for it, and scheme up ways to take away the same looks that we had been getting.
Marner being out definitely hurts because he facilitates so well....but there needs to be adjustments....when you see the other coach is taking away what used to be your Plan A....don't keep relying on Plan A...for me, I see Rielly and Nylander looking to tee Matthews up but either the passing lane to him is clogged up or he's forced to receive the pass in a spot where he can't get a good shot off...so move guys around...do something different...then go back to Plan A or Plan C when more adjustments come your way.

Sure...I think there's plenty of options they CAN do...of course assuming there's a willing trade partner...impossible for outsiders to really gauge the likelihood or assess what the better option is.
You pay all these scouts to provide you with the info and sometimes it's how hard one scout, or one assistant GM may push for a certain player.
There's also a very real possibility they still trade that 1st round pick for a roster player.
Maybe they aren't in love with anyone where they're selecting and value holding 2025 picks as assets they can use again at the deadline, etc.
My understanding from listening to former GM's or scouts talk about war rooms and draft days....there's different pressures and motives from different people around the table... teams always have their draft boards and they generally want to add players off that board to their farm system. Amateur Scouts will generally be pushing for them to use current picks at the current draft....spending your full time job watching and rating players to then have picks punted away in trades or for other future picks....it's part of the job...and doesn't necessarily undermine it...but they are vested in proving their worth. GM is weighing the pressure of how much they need to win now vs build for the future.
Going just off memory and not really looking into this too deeply...I feel like when a team trades a conditional pick...when one of the sides get to pick whether that draft pick is used this year or next year...most teams take the current pick....I'm recalling Ottawa when they picked Brady Tkachuk.
I also really enjoyed that banter we got to see between Brian Burke and Bryan Murray on the draft floor regarding Nazem Kadri. I think most would agree that Toronto was probably comfortable taking a player a couple spots later and was trying to bait Ottawa into trading up with them but Bryan didn't bite.

I don’t think the strategy is to simply move back to acquire more picks.
You make your draft board. If the guy you like best is likely available 10+ picks later…you move back and try and pick up extra picks.
It’s more about being able to select the guys you like vs just being able to select more guys.
Of course you weigh how much more you like different guys in different spots and if you’re comfortable moving back and going with option 2 later…but there’s a more precise strategy about who you want to select where vs simply just getting more picks and figuring out the rest later

I think we just need to be realistic about the expectations.
Assuming he signs...I think it's a terrific trade for what it was. We used a 6th to get a 4th round caliber d-man who's already had a few years to develop. He may or may not ever make it to the NHL level..just like any 4th round pick... but they have the advantage of more information and they obviously liked what they saw. Compared to what a late 6th round pick would likely yield? It's probably the best use of draft picks the leafs deployed this deadline.

I think everyone acknowledges the shortcomings when it comes to top 4 RHD. Brodie has been one of those spots but took a big step back this year. Previously, there hasn't been a whole lot of wiggle room to add another big d-man that is also a right shot.
I also don't think it's fair to assume that, because Tre didn't address a top 4 RHD at this deadline that it isn't an issue for him that he wants to fix. We know he's been in the D market since the moment he got here.
They tried to re-sign Schenn but it didn't work out
He tried to sign Gudas
Tried to trade for Zadorov and Tanev
My estimation is that he simply wasn't willing to give up the few assets we have to make a more substantial acquisition this year. I'd like to assume he just didn't want to pay the prices and is hoping to do the bulk of his remodeling this off-season.
I still hold that there wasn't anything that was traded at this deadline that would have been worth the price paid AND would have made a significant impact on a playoff run. I'd like to hope Tre was just as frustrated as we were to not be able to add to that position. Whether or not he's capable of actually landing the right player(s) remains to be seen....but I'm not going to fuss about it not happening inside of his first year.

Except this wasn’t half assed. It was using low leverage assets to add low leverage depth. Sounds more like a conservative strategy that was executed.
Just because they didn’t go all in and make a splash doesn’t make it half assed.
If they used, say, Cowan to plug one hole while hanging on to a first and minten without plugging other holes…that would be half assed.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NorthernLeafsFan05</b></div><div>I know a lot of fans aren't particularly happy with that TDL, but I am very happy with how we approached it. We didn't go "all in" and spend a ton on the flashy targets, but we addressed areas of need for solid prices and acquired guys who aren't going to have one-off stints with the Leafs.
Lyubushkin was a guy I wasnt stoked about getting, but he has been pretty solid so far. Doubt he sticks around next season, but I have enjoyed his second stint with the Leafs in the very small sample size we've seen it.
Edmundson is an addition I really like. Cheap, veteran defenseman who keeps it simple and has a mean crosscheck in his repertoire. Fans will love him, especially in the playoffs.
Webber was a minor move, but I really liked that pickup. Huge, rangy defenseman who moves well and eats pucks. Great gamble and is the exact kind of trade Ive wanted to see us make for a while.
Dewar is my favourite addition of the TDL. He is what the Leafs wanted Gregor to be. He is a pending RFA, an excellent skater, a guy who that doesnt shy away from physicality, kills penalties very well, and has posted excellent results despite being given only ~10 minutes of ice time. Should be the PERFECT compliment to that Tavares and Jarnkrok 3rd line. Really hope he sticks around, he is going to be one of the best additions at this years TDL</div></div>
I’m in full agreement with the results. Only thing that doesn’t sit well was how much we paid for Lyubushkin and edmundson compared to dumba.
It’s not that I care about those picks that much or really like dumba…just it seems either Tre hates dumba (he did give klingberg more money while dumba was still sitting in free agency) or we paid more for similar/lesser calibre d-men

Not a bad risk, even if they don't know for sure if he's going to sign. You're swapping a 6th round pick for a recent 4th round pick who's closer to being able to contribute...plus it's a player your scouts have been able to obtain more information on vs whatever you might land late in the 6th round.

VGK taught us big Dcores win and if we look in the playoffs analytics go out the window and the guys who thrive are bruisers and rats. Sure some skill is also good but look at FLA best line
