Thread: why not
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>desertdog111</b></div><div>How have the “Keumper to Toronto” trades become so unhinged that it’s Keumper for Anderson straight up now?

As much as I'm sure you hate to admit it, Arizona IS struggling financially, seeing how they missed bonus payments, and have cut salary for staff. a similar, if slightly less talented goalie, for 3.5 million less, is something that they would have to consider. The Leafs are one of the fortunate teams to not have to worry much about money during this pandemic, and this is the kind of move that makes sense for them to take advantage of it. Maybe they throw in a little bit of a sweetener, but i think one for one is a move that makes sense.

Thread: Lou Lam we need you back
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Alfie11</b></div><div>Y’all are too hard on Dubas lmao, most of his moves have been objectively good or at least fair at the time, although a couple seem bad in hindsight, you can’t help that, sometimes you hit, sometimes you miss, at least he took a shot (e.g. acquired a #1 RHD, he didn’t ask Babcock to use him improperly). This coming year will be the first year one can truly call the team his, with no remnants of bad contracts/coaches from Lou’s time. They’ve finally got rid of the HORRIBLE Zaitsev+Marleau deals, and the last remnants were Ceci (UFA) and the lost 1st so it’s all Dubas from now on. If the Leafs fire him in the next two years it just proves they’re a pathetic organization with no patience. The losses so far I would also argue have less to do with Dubas and more to do with the fact that their young “stars” are immature and lack any sort of compete level. If they don’t do anything for 2 years and another coach you can look at Dubas, don’t be in such a rush to change things, you’ve gotta have trust in somebody and honestly Dubas is not the worst GM. I’ll say again—at some point you have to blame the players. Matthews, Marner, and Tavares are making “destroy lives” money so it’s literally their fault when they don’t produce like they can and should</div></div>

👏 well said
