That's what happens when you draft so high for so many years and draft the same type of player from that position. They were so top heavy and so desperate for defense that you knew they most likely going to lose a trade to fill a hole. That has been the problem for the past 5 years. They were so scared to lose a trade that they never pulled the trigger on anything. Every phone call that Chia made was probably more ridiculous then the last because they had painted themselves int a corner. You had a feeling they were going to take one on the chin when they finally did make a trade but this was beyond what everyone expected.

The Leafs looking for a Dman hasn't had much come from it lately. Maybe that's a good thing?

Definitely a good thing considering what happened with the Oilers looking for a Dman.

I don't think Stamkos was the missing piece of the puzzle. It's obvie Tavares.

As a Leaf fan I should be pleased and content with Matthews, Anderson...that's 2 (frank)ign spots filled that are the hardest. (hopefully) But as the greedy (frank)ing pig of a Leafs fan, I want a (frank)ing D-man to play with Rielly. Not too much to ask is it?

Doubt it this year.

Tyutin might be a good 1 year player for under $2M.

What a clown (frank) fishdog.

I hate this guy. Lol

Steven Stamkos: "My intention all along was to hopefully work something out with Tampa. ... I grew up as a kid there.""

- Bigzby

Meh. Don't worry about Stamkos. Leafs (seem to) finally have a plan. They look like they want to mostly draft a successful team. They want to do it on their terms. They said it all along and it's taken some people (not you) a while to realize that.

It's why Shanny wanted Hunter. If they were going to draft top 4 overall and that was it (aka Edmonton), no need for Hunter. Tambellini could do that. It's why we got Babcock. Ron Wilson or Randy Carlyle can shout "Let's Go" as much as they want to a veteran team, but Mike can teach. He can handle young kids. He can take the spotlight off the kids and call them out when need be.

Stamkos is disappointing to some, mainly for his "stringing along", but it doesnt change the Leafs plan at all, so no harm no foul. I think (just my opinion) they'll look to draft 5 of their top 6 forwards and 3 of their top 4 D.

There will be pain. We have to be patient. We have to trust these guys. They have not sold us a salesman story at any point in their employment. It'll make winning the cup (making the playoffs ) all the more sweeter
