Thread: Leafs Have Passed On A Lot Of Talent These 2 Seasons
Weegar, McCann and Hall were missed opportunities for sure, I really wanted them to trade for Weegar last year and Foligno > Hall never made sense to me. I was disappointed with the McCann decision and the fact that Holl has been getting outplayed by Liljegren this year (as I thought he could from the start) only reinforces that. Ritchie signing was just strange from the beginning, never really saw the fit. Can't keep up in the top-6, can't create enough to work in the bottom-6.

Verhaeghe is just a rare late bloomer, nothing you can do when a guy shows little potential until he's in his mid-to-late 20's and then suddenly breaks out. Things like Simmonds/Sheary and Biega/Niku aren't that big deals to me, Simmonds has been fine and plays a more physical/veteran role for the team than Sheary could, and Niku probably wanted some assurances of NHL time which the Leafs just couldn't provide him.

Hits and misses for sure, but on the whole I still agree with you that Dubas has done a good job.
