rekker Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 (edited) They got greedy the second they signed Tavares and are paying for it. Nylander should of been traded the second they signed JT. I was vocal on TO exploring trade options for AM the second they signed JT as well. Imagine the haul they would of got for AM, the depth on D and forward they could of built. JT and Kadri down the middle, Marner, would of been a great start to a cup contender if you add in the return on AM. I'd argue AM's value has since gone down if you include his contract and indifferent play. Edited November 17, 2019 by rekker 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildwood12 Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 4 players salary who are half their cap. They are like the Oilers giving the young players top money, before they win anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuxfanabroad Posted November 20, 2019 Author Share Posted November 20, 2019 So fire the coach, but keep the clueless kid that concocted this fiasco? Hmm, how much more rope is given to this green GM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhillipBlunt Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 They win one game against Arizona and Sportsnet is writing drivel about the epic turnaround. The sycophantic approach TSN has for the Laffs is embarrassing. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can do no wrong in the media's eyes. Every move they make is heralded by the spineless Eastern media. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can tolerate every other team but not them, they are literally owned by the fake news. Not to mention that pedo ring back in the Ballard days. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely agree AM’s value has gone down... maybe they could trade him to the oilers for Larsson In all seriousness though, if I were the leafs I would be looking at guys like Parako or maybe Proverov and seeing if there was any way they could nab one of those guys. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuxfanabroad Posted December 4, 2019 Author Share Posted December 4, 2019 Love it..starting to tumble again. Honeymoon period was a shorty, eh Keefe?

Heard their new coach was very disappointed that the players quit competing in Philly. Now tonight they lose again. Their best player, by far, was Hyman. He’s a high compete player. Tavares, Matthews, and Nylander were again soft, and stayed on the perimeter 5 on 5. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leafs are great with the puck. Brutal if they don't have the puck, and brutal at getting it back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC2 Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 In my opinion they have too many chiefs and not enough indians. Because of their abundance of high scoring forwards its like they all think the other guy is going to score so I don't have to worry. They need do drop the caviar and get a little of bit meat and potatoes 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazycry Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 In my honest opinion the leafs were destined to fail the moment they signed Nylander to that contract. You just cannot commit that amount of money when you have Matthews and Marner, both require signing (all signs back then clearly showed they will command a king's ransom). What's funny was how Eastern media thought the Leafs had improved over 18-19 roster lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume they knew the risk but they just taught they were too smart (being a team from the centre of the universe) and still chose to, "video game" built there roster to a cup win - oops, no reset button !

I remember years ago back when the past regime was at their peak, just before 2011, one of the Canuck players in an interview said that sometimes the team got complacent during the game because they assumed that their superior skill would take over so they wouldn't put as much effort in. I can't remember who said it but it reminds me of how Toronto is playing right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
