After the Hall trade that's not even a ridiculous proposal.

Yes it still is. Just because Chia bent over, spread his cheeks and spit on sheros shaft doesn't mean all deals that follow will be as bad.

Yes, Babcock's tenure was predicated on the team luring Steven Stamkos well before he even came close to reaching UFA status. Now that he didn't go UFA and sign with Toronto, Babcock wants out.

I assumed you were trying to troll, not completely stupid. I'm sorry that I gave you too much credit.

Its ok, I've admitted the franchise has been a disaster for years, that's reality, not like some fanbases who are sooooo delusional...

From an outsider if Leafs could add more Dmen, team shall be fine. Ur coach got a lot out of the kids last year, which was impressive....

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

Nice work. Thanks for sharing it. I agree with it.

Gardiner for Landeskog

AF-4

Market for dmen is sky high right now with the Larsson and gudbranson trades.

Might not be the worst idea for the leafs to sell high on gardiner.

If the thought of acquiring JT doesn't excite you, you're a robot which is cool too.

Actually I was and someone responded back YES before, until u chimed in with nonsense..

Wasn't the whole management team & babcock a plan of drafting, developing & better FA's ala Stamkos? Or maybe I misunderstood...

That's what I was adding with a previous post. They hopefully have a legit goalie, and a legit #1 Centre in the near future. All within a week or 2. But the next hole is that top pairing D. Rielly is coming along wonderfully. But finding another is gonna be tough. I'm gonna assume it's coming via trade

Agree, and (frank) all the cock tease free agents.

the Leafs are building something good. And in a few years, they could very well be the ones looking at guys like stamkos saying "look man, I know you're the hometown kid and all, but you're just not the player you used to be." then offer him a short term discounted contract.

I like Stamkos, and thought there was starting to be a good chance he's land in Toronto. And it would have been a pretty big boost. the forwards would be instantly set. But they're not THAT far off anyway. The Leafs need to focus on D, just like they needed to last week.
