Thread: How to fix samsonov
He gave up 6 goals on 21 shots to the 5th worst team in the league, shoulda had 2 of those for sure, maybe 3.

Before that he gave up 5 goals on 14 shots to the 6th worst team in the league.

Before that he again gave up 6 goals on 35 shots to the same 5th worst team in the league.

It’s not even just the amount of goals he gives up, it’s the quality and the timing of them. It’s just awful and it’s not what a championship contending team can have if they’re serious about competing. I understand you’re logic of supporting him and trying to encourage him because it’s purely a mental issue and not a physical or technical with him - but at what point do you say “hey we just need saves” and hold the player accountable? He’s a pro athlete, he signed up for this. If he doesn’t like the pressure of the NHL then go back to the KHL.

Thread: Kyle and Brad change their minds
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Timmins_Is_Eating_Tims</b></div><div>i would bring Back Acciari and get Dickinson but no chance they would trade Bert and I would actually cry if they brought Barrie back</div></div>

I’m sorry, didn’t mean to make anyone cry by posting this.

It’s a conundrum to try and find an upgrade on defence at the moment. The easy answer is to say *get Tanev* but if Calgary would part with him for a price Brad was willing to pay, they would already have him. Pesce was mentioned a lot earlier in the year, and I don’t follow the Canes, but his play seems to be off. And with both the Flames and the Canes, they are so close in the playoff hunt I don’t think they deal players until much later in the season.

My opinion, the Leafs need a D man who can hit and a D man who can score. Hard to get them both in the same person. Barrie could be put in for situations where he can contribute offence, and then Leafs would still need to get this years version of Lybushkin/Schenn. I ran another armchair GM where we would get David Savard, but thought for this one I would try something different. But Savard is exactly the kind of toughness they need.
