What scoring did we lose?

And being a more well rounded team with versatile players who will play specific roles makes us better.

- Bigzby


i agree. yea, we lost raymond, but i'm not too worried about that. he didnt fit our system. kulemin hasn't been productive in a while. don't get me wrong, i liked him, but he wanted a bigger role and he had his chances last year but still wasnt converting. doesn't justify us giving him a bigger role. losing ranger, gunner and gleason doesn't hurt much offensively either.

It's frustrating cause it's not true.
We've lost scoring.
We gained a 3rd/4th liner that had a little chemistry for a little while during a HALF A FACKING season. Guess what the leafs would have made the playoffs this year had it only been 48 games too.
We traded for a 5th/6th dman and signed a 4th old injured dman and then overpaid for an energetic 3rd/4th liner.
We are so much better!

- Fakepartofme


lmao we traded a 5-6 dman for a better dman....Polak is a 2nd pairing dman..reason he didn't play much in STL...look who's ahead of him..

Polak > Gunnar , by a long shot.

Kulimen Bolland Raymond all overpaid trashcans.
Frattin Holland komarov will bring more to the team. IMO

He's junk and my guess is he's on waivers by Dec..That said No big deal someone else will get a shot.. .

Frattin spot is something for Leivo to aim for...

He's got a higher ceiling than D'amigo and more versatile.

cant believe how fans wanted so much change
Leafs changed a lot since the draft
they arent even close to being done yet....
GONE:.........................IN:
Raymond.....................Frattin
Bolland........................Holland
McClement...................(empty) - STEVE OTT?
Kulemin........................Komarov
Bodie............................Ashton
Smith............................(empty)
D'Amigo.........................Carrick? Leivo?
Gunnarsson...................Robidas
Ranger...........................Granberg?
Gleason.........................Polak
MacIntyre......................Sparks? Bibeau?

Say Good-bye?
Reimer
Franson

Looks like the whole "Culture Change" thing is well under way since the transaction freeze lifted. People need to quit the b!tchin. Whats it really gonna help anyway what we think or want, unless we're running the team ourselves

Yes..... ..


If Frattin works out fine, if he doesn't thats also fine...D'amigo was a 4th liner and thats something the leafs have no shortage of ..

Nothing trade but expectations need to be lowered for Frattin as right now he's barely a NHLer(Not on most teams in this league) ..

I really think some need to stop listing him in the top 6..

Both Reimer and Franson are headed for Arbitration(Rejected qualifying offers)..Baring a trade they will be on the leafs next fall..

Teams really gonna trade for 2 RFA's that are headed for arbitration??

Those predictions are based solely on past chemistry.

If that doesn't work out he's still way better than any 4th line winger we've had in years lol
