Thread: Everyone is trading the wrong guy
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>leafs101</b></div><div>I agree with the philosophy of this team though. Skill, possesion, but with players that will bite back. They just didn't execute the style of play. The Avs are executing that style of play over the Knights that play that heavy style of game. It's the best style for modern NHL teams and for the direction of the game.</div></div>

The skill of this team is not in question, its creating space to be able to use that skill. Leafs cannot create that space cause the teams they play don't respect them, and they don't believe the Leafs will bite back. This is nobody on the Leafs roster that instill any sort of fear into the other team. Even players like Muzzin and Foligno don't play their brand of hockey on this team. This team needs to learn how to play mean without losing their skill. (They need to learn how to play bruin type of hockey or avs)

Thread: Monday Trades
Anderson isn't going anywhere we need the LTIR for trades incoming today or tomorrow. If the Leafs were going to trade him there is only two places that would even be interested (Boston, or Philly) and for different reason. Boston has two rookie goalies in net atm, and Philly needs someone to stop the bleeding till Hart regains his form.

As for the Willson - Nylander trade it would be an interesting fit for both teams. Willy and Backstorm had crazy chemistry at the world championship a few years ago, and as stated above Willy would help this top six. (honestly this would be Washington trading Wilson for the same reasons Toronto traded kadri cause they were tired of his ****) And it would be a 1-1 deal imo. Leafs would be giving up more on the deal based on offense, but the Caps would be giving up on more grit and sandpaper (could argue that gives you a better chance of winning in the playoffs) although Washington has enough left over to recoup that loss.
