  1. That guy you were "talking to" has some ... hmmm inequalities let's say. To put it kindly let's just say his judgement on hockey but mostly foreign hockey players is completely shot. My favorite is the wild ranting and raving where you can picture his drunken Avatar screaming and chasing you with an axe.
  2. I think the problem for some is that after we made a great trade in the Hamonic deal we turned around and got rid of 75% of that big win. However, either way we needed a LD for next year and we're not getting one much cheaper that can actually play. Hunt was not the answer. So really the cap isn't an issue but I guess it's the player we choose in Dermott. Is he really the guy that it was important enough to jump on now? Seems a little kneejerk from the outside here but I guess they must have been looking at this guy for a awhile. It's really hard to judge 3rd string guys on other teams unless you're watching them closely in a prolonged number of games so I'll give the new management team the benefit of the doubt. Hopefully he flourishes here. Seems like a great kid. Although I do detect a faint musty leaf smell so hopefully that wears off.
  3. I was super pissed actually when it first happened and saw it your way too. Why help those disgusting Leafs. Especially when they needed to shed salary. I think after some reflection Dermott always had some value. I think we may have been worried they would just flip him somewhere for something anyway so we pulled the trigger. It definitely helps realign the D and puts a guy in the LD position who fits our required description quite well. Young, fast, decent size, but first and foremost CHEAP! I'm actually a nice guy so sorry about the ribs I'll lay off those ... but keep your chin up!
  4. Ha ha I agree somewhat. Just ribbing you a bit. I think there was probably a little interest. I imagine the analytics department went in on him and our supposed interest let them hold out a bit. At the end of the day the extra third made it easier to part with. I'm not a fan who worries to much about 3rd round and lower but I wouldn't mind facing this mini retool with an abundance of picks for once either.
  5. Yeah, I'm not a big fan of playing guys on their offsides. It's had gawd-awful results in Van. Ehrhoff the only one being able to pull it off. I'd play him on the left with either Burroughs, Poolman, or maybe Hunt rotating in and out. That's if we don't pick up a rd today.
  6. This trade alert brought to you by Vintage. Kicking both sportsnet and TSN's ass since the beginning of time!

  8. I'm becoming more ok with this move. Mostly because it's a beginning to fixing the structural failure on D. At least he's a LD and most importantly cheap. Exactly what is needed there with 14mil already tied up there with 43 and OEL. A young rd of higher-end quality tomorrow and I would be ecstatic.
  9. I agree. A free agent target would have been better. Well I'm very skeptical but I guess I'll give him a chance. It's hard to evaluate anyone in TO with the style they play.
  10. I love how some people try to bend these silly little numbers into something like defensive ability. What an over-reach. To anyone that watches hockey Hamonic is clearly miles better as a defender. Just when I was liking Allvin he has blown it already. This freaking clown is signed for another year too. Good grief JR. Does anyone know if we can still get JB back?
  11. Rutherford +1 Don't mind Hamonic the player but I was fed up with his nitpicky attitude even before he got here. After the BS he pulled to start the year I'm very glad he's gone. Page turned and moving on.
  12. Yeah I can't see him being a Canuck much longer. I don't think it would be wise to have two small guys on the left side for 70% of the game. We need a player with some size who PK's back there.
  13. Do you really think he's an upgrade? The Toronto media has been desperately trying to ditch him all year long. Even they think he's rubbish. My buddy is a Leafs fan so I've watched about 12-15 games. He looks like hot garbage out there to me every single game and we just sit back and laugh at the articles with writers pretending some stupid team would actually want him. I sure hope it's not us. If we get him for nothing or they give us something to take him I'd have no problem riding out the season with him but if we give up anything higher than a 6th rounder I'll be [sadface].
  14. This guy gets my vote as the worst defenceman in the NHL who has played 10 games.
  15. Every time I open a new Google window on my phone articles appear based on my likes. I've seen these stupid articles trying to trade him and Holl for months now. At least 6 different articles. https://tipofthetower.com/2021/02/06/toronto-maple-leafs-travis-dermott-trade-rumours-not-surprising/
  16. Lol, this a joke. No we're not. Toronto media is filled with idiots who have been trying to clear cap since the season started. He's AHL rubbish for real.
  17. Myers is brutal with the puck or making simple decisions. That was an ugly performance all around though.
  18. Yeahup, hopefully we lose to Buffalo to remove all doubt. Although I don't think last game matters at all. This team has been absolutely pitiful at times through two coaches since day one. Time to get better, not cling on.
