Popular Post Where's Wellwood Posted July 10, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 10, 2019 They've lost Zaitsev and Gardiner and gained 1 year of Barrie They've lost Kadri and gained Kerfoot with Marner still not signed yet. It doesn't seem that much better. and if Barrie leaves next summer, it seems like their D overall is worse and the Tavares-Matthews-Nylander-Marner quadrafecta is still stupid expensive 1 3 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alflives Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Of course they have. Some of the real reporters must be uncomfortable saying stuff like this, no? My God, how can a real reporter or analyst actually agree to this kind is clear propaganda? Are their jobs really that controlled by the Leafs? 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Chickenspear Posted July 10, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 10, 2019 You know an article is garbage when the Coilers are ranked #15 for a signing of an elderly, washed-up-has-been goalie. 1 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They spent a 1st dumping Marleau (this article is about the draft as well) - and had no first round pick as a result - but have 'improved'. They spent/lost Brown to move Zaitsev. Their best UFA signing thus far is......Jason Spezza. Aside from a good trade to acquire Barrie - they've had a horrible summer imo - and still have serious cap and depth issues.

Popular Post Shift-4 Posted July 10, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 10, 2019 im·prove /imˈpro͞ov/ Learn to pronounce verb make or become better. San Jose at #5 Have they added anything of interest? No, they have only resigned players they already had and LOST their captain. I don't think this writer understands the definition of improve. 1 4 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bingo. they trade a 1st round pick to get out of a terrible contract and now Barrie comes out and apparently says he wants $8 Million per year and crickets.................. You can't make this stuff up yet they get applauded. Must be multiple universes at play here. Edited July 10, 2019 by Borvat 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m seriously going to wet myself laughing! 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdubuya Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Tyson Barrie is a pretty nice addition.... one that our team was trying very hard to make. Y'all seem a bit mad. 3 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like maybe players are believing in Vancouver. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kanucks25 Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 You kind of missed a key caveat in the article: "This is not an order of strength heading into 2019-20" That said, still an awful take. If anything they've got worse and when you analyze their transactions in a vacuum, they are average at best. In: Barrie, Kerfoot, Ceci, Spezza Out: Gardiner, Kadri, Marleau, Brown, Zaitsev, 1st 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do agree that adding Barrie and Ceci (and Harpur) is an improvement over say Gardiner and Zaitsev (and Hainsey). But they might be losing both of these guys the following year. So I guess it's a question of if they've improved for this coming season and for long term. Either way though, not sure how Toronto is ahead of us in terms of "improvement".

In: Barrie, Kerfoot, Ceci, Spezza Out: Gardiner, Kadri, Marleau, Brown, Zaitsev, 1st I think the worst part of it is how they'll likely loose a significant chunk of their blueline next offseason. It's literally just one season of being good. Then what? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
