Thread: how to actually rebuild the leafs
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Boomer125</b></div><div>So ya none of this is "how to rebuild the Leafs" more like how give Boston more prominence while depleting the Leafs organization. Swayman trade brings back Raycroft nightmares, Rielly is still a top pair D man none of that changed he played just fine if not great in that series, Brodie literally can't play the left side, and Craig Smith at 2 C is entering Thorton age player</div></div>

Well there needs to be an actual shakeup for the leafs, moving around your bottom six wont fix problems. The raycroft situation is different than this and no goalie is going back to Bos. Reilly struggled heavily this season and is on the last year of his deal, personally i dont think its worth it to have him leave at the end of the season for nothing. Brodie can change sides, Craig smith might be old but he is very productive right now and only has 2 years on his deal.

Thread: out of playoffs offseason
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>staytru20</b></div><div>We don't have anyone of real quality on the right side of the defense that isn't in the NHL already. Leason was also a lot better in Hershey this season (20 points in 33 games). I think it's too early to give up on him.

On the draft-able front - it's going to be really far-fetched that a late first rounder (from the Leafs' pick) is going to be NHL ready day one. If you're going to move defensemen, move Dillon - and that opens up two spots on the left side for Fehervary and Alexeyev (if he's ready). You could also move Schultz instead to open up a spot for TvR. Carlson did have a bad playoffs but that doesnt mean they should move him down or give him less minutes. I like shultz plus he has only 1 year left on his deal so if we need to we can move him up and down the lineup or even trade him. Jensen is an ok top 6 defender but playing first pairing is way too much, at most he should be a fringe top 4 guy.

Orlov and Jensen would be a tremendous pairing together, and they should be the first pairing. Carlson needs reduced minutes if his playoff performance becomes the norm.</div></div>

its alot easier to move defeneceman side to side rather than forwards. The draft pick isnt expected to be in the NHL for atleast 2-3 years, its just a future asset. Maybe we flip it at the deadline. Leason is decent but i really dont see him becoming more than a fourth line power forward because of his skating.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>exo2769</b></div><div>If you think they don't have any good top 4 defenders...ok, that's your opinion. I think Murphy is a good top 4 defender.

The thing is...it doesn't really matter because Dillon isn't good. He'd be fighting for NHL ice time with the other 8 Dmen. I know 100% what's going on with Dillon. It's the same exact move the Hawks did when Keith was at his best. Keith played with Rob Scuderi, David Rundblad, Christian Erhoff, etc... That's how good Keith used to be and that's why Dillon plays soo much with John Carlson. Carlson is REALLY good. He covers up a lot of mistakes.</div></div>

Murphy is an ok top four defender. But Dillion has been very, very good this year. Analytically he was one of the best offensive defenceman in the entire nhl with an ok defence. Analytics take out team mate impact aswell. Dillion is a ver good top 4 defender but the capitals need to get rid of players and the Blackhawks need a top 4 d man. Dillion is still very good without carlson, please actually look at stats before saying something like that.
