no one is beginning to think this is a good deal for either side. Nor was it meant to be said in a serious way (see original posters tone in the post). I am just saying that your boy left out some parts of the deal that were pretty important.

note - every fan base has their village idiot.

As a father of a 5 year old son, and being a die hard fan, this Leaf rebuild is huge for me.

Understandably, alot of kids in the GTA grew up fans of other teams over the last decade more than ever. From Corset jerseys to Toews, kids grew up in their jerseys and fans of those teams. I was a bit worried my boy would grow up a fan of another team once he hit school and liking stars on other teams was the cool thing to do and he'd grow up a fan of another team.

I'm no longer worried. Marner and Matthews will change everything. Sure it will still happen but kids in the new generation can wear the teams colours and jerseys with pride. Hopefully it becomes the cool thing to do again. Sure is heading that way

yeah.. its so funny walking around North Bay (80% Leafs fans here) all the old folks are wearing new Leafs gear with so much pride hahaha.. im so happy for them

They're gonna need SCNJRWHC.... stitching up pitchfork wounds and torch burns can be expensive.

I will say this though. I am extremely jealous of the progression you guys have made in such a short time. Hunter and LL have done a tremendous job.

In truth. I can't tell which line is supposed to be 1, 2 or 3. The only one I know is 4.

probably didnt help...

but i still to this day don't understand what Hillary did to make them hate her.. (i understand that it was fear mongering and neagative attacks and rhetoric) But for real.. If you're mad at the establishment and elites, maybe don't elect a billionaire?

a lady with a private e-mail server or a racist rapist. seems pretty clear cut..

Things are going to get really bad.. and probably for decades...

im not a prepper.... but.... i kinda want to start.

yeah for sure...

Drafting Marner and tanking for Matthews was key...

Also they did their homework on Zaitsev and Andersen.

Im not sure if we'll see another team turn it around that fast anytime soon, but on the other hand maybe it'll be a trend.. It's possible that players coming into the league have really learned a lot from guys like Crosby over the last decade and are simply better younger. Columbus is a funny story... they were horrible but turned it around fast too, but if you had to pick one roster or the other i think most would take the Leafs simply because of Matthews and Marner.

Marners and Matthews will gets Toews + Kane or Crosby + Malkin Money right after their ELC's. It's hard to argue bridge deals when they play like they are. Those deals are worth every penny though, they are that young and doing incredible things.

Any Canuck fan can say what they want. Its hard to not be jealous when you see two stars in Matthews and Marner make such an impact. Unfortunetely for us, we can't change the thought process behind our ignorant owner and GM, so no matter how much we scream tank/rebuild, it falls on deaf ears.

remember in the summer when most of us agreed that the Leafs and Sabres are on par with each other? and that Sabres fans thought they were for sure ahead in the rebuild?

good times...
