<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>IDKtbh</b></div><div>Huh? Hands? Important? Ohhhh, man, you know you’re right. I was confusing hockey with soccer cuz there’s like a goal and a goalie and all that stuff, I forgot that hands are important. Hey, honestly, thanks man. I goofed up big time on that one.

Hey, do you think I could get your valuable perspective on the Frosties from Wendy’s? Cuz it comes with a spoon but, you also get a straw so, is it ice cream or is it a shake or maybe something previously nameless in between, like umm, idk maybe like a frost… ahh, that’s it - its not ice cream or a shake; it’s a Frosty. Thanks again, man wow, you are on a roll today.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Babatunde</b></div><div>It is measured based on what he has done this season. If you look at the previous track records, Muzzin will easily get the Leafs a first+ if we we trade him. Past history doesn't mean anything, it's based on what they are doing right now</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Byrr</b></div><div>Hands tend to be kind of important to hockey players, especially skilled ones. You hope he'll be good as new but you can't say for sure ... which is kind of the point. It's especially relevant because we aren't talking a long recovery time. He won't be with the Leafs past this season so it's how he will play immediately upon returning from those hand injuries which is a big gamble for teams to take and hence the distressed asset.</div></div>

Been an interesting discussion. Clearly we Leaf fans don’t value bertuzzi the way wings fans do. Let me see if we can bridge the difference.

Assuming positions were switched - Wings in playoffs and Leafs on outside looking in…Would wings fans pay a 1st + 3rd + top 3 prospect for Michael bunting? Bunts is similar type player, puts up similar (actually better) numbers than Bertuzzi, they are similar age and both are pending FAs?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>I never understood the Amirov selection. Left wingers and left handed defencemen are the most populous players....66% of player shoot left. There probably wasn't a big cap between talent Amirov, and selections picked slightly below him, RWer Dawson of NJ and Rangers RHD Schnedier.
Sorry I'll disagree with other who say Dubas has been good at drafting. Correct if I"m wrong, but on defence just Sandin and LIljegren...both first rounders...I should hope first rounders should be in the NHL.
Holmberg...a great pick in the sixth round and injured Robertson. So in his time as GM....he has drafted just four NHLers. And the Leafs NHL to be prospects isn' that promising.</div></div>

I think you’re being a bit unfair on Dubas; dude has only had 5 drafts and from those only 2 x 1st rounders (late) - Sandin &amp; Amirov. Sandin looks legit (takes D typically 3-4 years to coke good) &amp; Amirov - we all know the story. We can look back at any and every GM &amp; highlight their misses on draft day; kind of pointless exercise imo. Looks to be lots of good picks in lower rounds in recent years and Leafs have one of the best prospect pools amongst ‘top’ teams (as measured by draft position &amp; qty of picks - top teams typically trade their picks at TDL).
Of course the bottom feeders have better prospect pools but they pick first &amp; keep (even add to) all of their picks .
Compared to Bruins, Tampa, Avs, etc - Leafs are in good shape relatively.
