Holy crap! The Leafs are winning the Cup this year. 

I'm still calling a first round exit

Lots of our fans will cheer for the Islanders now. Screw them and Horvat. Go Leafs Go! 

Alright what have you done with Alf?

Yup. Getting ROR just made all the Leafs’ D a little bit better. Maybe some here don’t realize how important a defensively minded centre is for helping the D?  

You know what’s even better? Defensemen. They’re really important to helping the D. That and tadalafil. 

[BlakeQuinnAndEggs]

Toronto still sucks, the east is too strong. No way they get past Tampa or Boston

I doubt it. Barbashev is their top line guy along with Schenn now. 

Apparently Barbashev is likely gone to but I agree. They still got Kyrou and Thomas as well. In any respect unless we start winning games we're not passing them.

No way they lose Barbashev with Kyrou. Both are the team’s future. 
 

Any rumours about Barbashev that you know of?

Why does Minni do this? They are in a wild card they retain 1,875,000 on ROR and got a 2025 4th?? 

 

STL is laughing here.

Bubble team? 
 

Capspace? Another trade asset?

Still think TML got the best in the short term. Obviously.

He's a UFA at the end of the year and only costs 75K in salary for the Wild.  Even after adding the O'Reilly retention they project to have nearly 13M in deadline cap space.  Rather than just lose it they might as well leverage it to get a 4th round pick.

Apparently he's being shopped around. Blues looking at a rebuild/retool. I believe @mll also posted regarding this.

[JeremyCuddles]

Soooooo, they gave up a haul to get bodied in the first round again? They still have to contend with Tampa and I am not sure how Toronto's defence stands a chance. Whatever, at least they got a forward that actually gives a sh*t about defence. They misunderstood the assignment.

 

"Hey Dubas, we need help on defence" - Literally everyone

 

"Get a forward that plays defence? Gotcha" - Dumbass

 

"Well no, I mean we-" - Literally everyone

 

"Done, we got Ryan O'Reilly now " - Dumbass

 

"I mean, I guess that helps " - Literally everyone

Well done, Dudass. Way to address your garbage defense. Who are you? Jim Benning?

The Leafs are 7th overall in GA and GAA and 11th overall in SV%.  Seems like their overall defensive game is just fine.  On top of that, they just added a Selke trophy winner and a very good bottom 6 forward in Acciari...

[Nooks]

Odd that they go all in this year when Boston has like 10 reg losses all year.  I hope they meet and it goes to game 7…again.

[Neil HD]

I didn't know you could do cap retention like that in a 3 way trade

Word in the off-season was that was going to be their last try with this core group.  Dubas also in the last year of his deal.

 

1st round matchup looks already set vs Tampa with only home ice still to be decided.

Ooof.  They would have 2-3 cups if they made the Tanev trade with us a few years back.

[BPA]

Dubas not done yet.  He’s still looking for help on D.

 

Myers (50% retained) + 4th 2023
