Thread: Maple Leafs 2020-2021 FINAL ROSTER
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Leafsfan416</b></div><div>Yes Holl looks great with Muzzin but imagine Muzzin with an actual quality D partner. Holl belongs on the third pair but I see Dermott, Lehtonen, Bogo, Sandin there</div></div>

There are definitely better defensemen, however i don't think we will find it on the free agency market at this point, and kerfoot+holl doesnt hold enough value for a impact top 4 defensemen. The only trade my friends are possibly interested in is for Weegar, however keroot and holl doesnt make that happen, and Weegar is essentially just Holl2.0 just a couple years younger and 1~1.5 extra seasons under his belt.

And if we trade kerfoot we are relying on Thornton or Spezza who are getting up there in age, or Engvall who is not proven he can handel 3C, 4C maybe, but not 3C i dont think

I definitely disagree with Weegar being a Holl 2.0
He finished last season with seven goals and 11 assists in 45 games and had 76 hits and 71 blocked shots. He’s a good passer, he’s improved his skating, and he’s an effective puck-mover on breakouts and in transition. He was one of their top penalty-killers.
Weegar saw his minutes jump from 16:58 per game in 2018-19 to 20:07 this past season while playing with Aaron Ekblad on the Panthers’ top pairing. Their numbers together were impressive -- in 560 minutes together at 5-on-5, the Panthers had 58.3% of goals, 56.2% of shots, 55.4% of shot attempts, and 54.1% of expected goals. Pairing him with Muzzin would give the Leafs a sick top 4.

I’d also take Murphy if available.

That's the worst D in the league. Go back through Philly's drafts to see what it takes to assemble a decent one.
If Corrado and Carrick weren't good enough defensively for Babcock, then Rosen will never play a full season

I don't see the logic of sacrificing at the weak point of your roster, the team needs to spend more on D. The forwards have been good enough to score in the playoffs for years now, and hitting pause or reset to draft and develop your way out of the Marleau cap crunch will suck.</div></div>

This is kinda getting foolish about the worse defence in the league. Same GAA as Cup winning Washington last year. Same as Columbus as with Jone and Bob. Vegas went to the finals with a no name defence.

So this bit about the worse defence in the league, c;mon are really trolling for reaction because it doesn't appear to factually correct.
