You're the one bring up off tangent Larsen et al discussions, And me calling larsen bad, Brock good shows I don’t have a double standard. I hold all teams the same standard.

I think @Rob_Zepp had it right the other day... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What all have the Leafs done that was "smart"? - winning the lottery? - trading big name players for cap dumps and retaining salary? - Robidas Island? - trade "vets for (mid-range) picks" then use those picks to get more vets? - dumping a goalie for nothing after paying assets for him, then using more picks to acquire another? - signing multiple 37-year-old players? One guy in the Vancouver sports media that I've actually been impressed with is Aynsley Scott, albeit in limited listening. Only heard him for a few minutes one night, but he was really going off on how this whole Amazing Toronto Rebuild is a false narrative. "They haven't done anything yet" is exactly right.

Ainsley's a bright guy. I hope for the day when guys like him and Ryan Biech are the front runners of our local media coverage with their measured, informed, intelligent and insightful discourse.

All good moves. 1 hour ago, Hutton Wink said: - trading big name players for cap dumps and retaining salary? That’s what you got to do when you are handcuffed by previous mgmt. we know how that feels with the NTC jb was given when he started. 1 hour ago, Hutton Wink said: - Robidas Island? - trade "vets for (mid-range) picks" then use those picks to get more vets? Leafs had 20 picks between 2015&2016. Clearly they weren’t trading that many picks for vets. Quote - dumping a goalie for nothing after paying assets for him, then using more picks to acquire another? Getting rid of the old mgmts mistake. Again can’t blame new mgmt for something the old mgmt did. Is it JBs fault he has to buy out booth? Quote - signing multiple 37-year-old players? Nope not a good move. That’s a bad move.

Gaudette Celly Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 If winning a lottery against 4:1 odds and taking the consensus #1 pick is "smart", I didn't realize the bar had been set so low. I guess Buffalo were idiots for losing the lottery and ending up with the consensus #2 even though they had the best odds. And if "blaming previous management" gives one a free pass into the World of Smart, it is certainly ironic how a certain subculture continually blames current management for everything anyway, let alone the fact they came into a far worse situation. I think someone was talking about "double standards" recently... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True or false? If TO doesnt win the lottery they are still in a good position to bring in a core piece to build.

What was shanahan supposed to do about bernier? he didn’t pay the high price to get him. It’s just like you can’t really blame jb for having to buy out booth or Higgins Quote I think someone was talking about "double standards" recently... Hutton your the one guys that is better than that. don’t drop to that level. You have to pick and choose what you can blame a team for. If your willing to accept JB messed up by not trading hammer even though he had a ntc handed out by a previous mgmt. I’ll accept bernier was a fail on TO mgmt.
