Thread: Lame Duck Deadline
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>Going forward, I'm comfortable with Rakell, Comtois and Jones (with Tracey in the wings) at LW and Silfverberg, Kase and Terry at RW. DesLauriers and Grant are the perfect depth forwards and I would keep them based upon their showing this year. In particular, I wouldn't trade DesLauriers for a seventh when he cost us a fourth. The guys I would be looking to move are Shore and maybe Ritchie and one of Larsson or Mahura, all of whom would probably bring better returns than what you have here. Surely somebody needing help at LD (NY Islanders?) would give us a second for Larsson.</div></div>

Might be right. However, I would suggest that a team clearly in rebuild need to hang on to as many young assets as possible. There will come a time you move the right ones for the big tuna. Now is not the time.

Thread: If out of the playoffs by the deadline
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Thebig3</b></div><div>Yeah I agree with all of that. Yes muzzin and reilly are out, but if your solution to that is bringing up marincin and Sandin(I like him but hes only 19) to play big minutes to you are in trouble. I hate to have this conversation, but there's no guarantee that they make the playoffs even when muzzin comes back with how competitive there conference is.
Thanks for the good reply</div></div>

Absolutely!!! I think this time of extreme adveristy has truly highlighted the weakness of this ORGANIZATION as a whole. After Sandin and Liligren there is..... Hallowell? And he is a couple years away imo. Yet up front there is a laundry list we can go thru. Deadline needs to address that as FA will not.

Thread: Do the Leafs do this at the deadline
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PleaseBanMeForMyOwnGood</b></div><div>Remember that time Carolina lost to TO 8-5. Or when Vancouver lost to Tampa 9-2. It happens and it's a typical troll reaction to point to outliers as anything other what they are. Grow up and have a meaningful conversation or just don't waste my time.</div></div>

🙄 you have me figued out lmao.

Let's see..... no Muzzin and no timeline. Reillly out 8 weeks. Barrie is good offensively, but is a defensive nightmare.

A top 4 of Barrie, Holl, Ceci and Dermott isn't gonna get it done...... not in this year's east. Especially with Anderson overworked.

It exposes the one weakness of the organization as a whole..... lack of defensive depth - the issue all us Leaf fans have pointed out all year long, and now it bears its ugly head.

In the end, the Cats will now lock down 3rd in the Atlantic, leaving the Leafs battling the Canes and Philly for a wild card spot. Not an over reaction, a troll reaction, or a reaction lacking intelligence at all.

I think what is beong put down here is possible.

I agree Bracco and Timashov are gone. Bracco passed on the depth chart, Timashov a victim of numbers

Engvall I think signs a 2 year deal, simply for cap purposes.

Soup is the wild card. A 1 year extension would allow the Leafs to seond more on that defensman they are gonna need (pencil Sandin and Lilgren in). However, trying somethjng longer term would be a bebefitnas well. I think that is the contract that is dictated after July 1.

Dermott..... 2 years at $2-$2.5 million works well.

Goat has certainly looked much better in his 4th line roll.

Overall, I suggest Soup is gonna be the tough one, simply because it is going to directly affected by a blueline acquisition.
