it actually doesn't seem too crazy

It kind of does.

Why part with your future #1 center when you can sign a current number one center, Stamkos, for solely money and keep Matthews protected as the second line center for a few seasons?

I fully understand Edmonton trading the fourth overall pick, as they need to make more of a now move but not the Leafs; not at the expense of a potential franchise center.

Back here in the old world, AV wouldn't coach the next season after all these F'ups.

If the Leafs somehow find a to get Stamkos, that would be crazy. However, their blue line is still incredibly inexperienced and last but certainly not least, they need a decent goalie. Spraks looks like a decent back up. Bernier stinks and Anotine Bibeau looks like he might make a career for himself in the AHL.

in the Rangers 3 seasons under AV, the Rangers had 96 points and went to Cup final

113 points and set an all-time franchise record for points and got to game 7 of conference final

101 points and had some issues

lets give the guy a break, the team has been around for 90 years and he's the best one yet

I'm sure you all know what I'm talking about; playing G when insured was just awful. Specially when you have Wrath as the 7th. We all knew he should've played. It's really a lot of things he should've done differently. AV is probably one of the better ones though...

That Vigneault is being labeled an awful coach, because he showed loyalty to a very good but broken down Ranger, wasn't the best decision but it's a bad one in a sea of many good ones.

He's a very good coach and like Rocky so eloquently stated in Russia, "If I can change and you can change, everybody can change".

Vigneault deserves that chance to show he learned from the mistakes he made last season and I think he will.

But you just can't give an injured vet toi just because he's a vet. And specially when you have a f'n murderer as a 7th just waiting to help this wussy team.

Watched about 70 games this season. And in my book he made a lot of mistakes. A lot of idiotic mistakes as well. A few; how he played Boyler, Fast, pp, EStaal/Hayes...

Apparently there is a moderator out there who finds an image of Will Smith with a tie around his head offensive

Hopefully he has found a safe space.

But a team built around Joe Thornton, I come to expect nothing less than a choke job.
