I'm digging the team right now but I think if we go over 500 over the next 6 games, it'll be due to OT losses. I just have a feeling about it.

BUF / OTT / DET --> 4/5 points?

NYR / PHI / CAL --> 2/3points?

so that's 6-8 points, should be ok.

If Leafs keep winning their Sat games, the team should make the playoffs. (some crucial ones in there)

Going to throw Matt Martin back there if someone gets injured? Pretty sure Marincin could step in and do what Hunwick does.

Or, to put it another way, I know that Nylander is gonna be on the starting forward line for Team Sweden for like fifteen years so I'm gonna keep him and find more D another way.
- Zezel


I'm all for keeping Nylander + having a significant upgrade on D at the same time.

I don't think it is very realistic though for the 2nd to happen without the first.

Do I think Leafs will trade Nylander? No - I don't believe so.
Do I think Leafs should trade Nylander? Yes, probably if they can get the topline RH d-man in exchange.

I prefer Leafs winning titles over anything else - don't see how that can be done without an important trade.

No, we're going to throw Marincin in. I'm just saying he hasn't been missed, and that our D group has no depth whatsoever. None of this is news.

The debate is probably moot for now, because it's already hard enough to make trades in the league, and then the expansion draft further complicates things. I do agree I don't think they'll trade Nylander anytime soon, they'll be patient. The ideal scenario is enough of their prospects other than the big 3 work out so well that they have pieces other than those three to trade.

The good news is everything is going better than one could have hoped at this point but the Leafs still don't have any pressure to go for it anytime soon so they can wait and find the right move for the long term instead of acting under pressure like previous regimes.

Byfuglien
Doughty
Karlsson
Ristolainen
Weber
Letang
Subban
Burns
Pietrangelo

Ekblad
Niskanen
Petry
Vatanen

I would kill for some KFC right about now... but all I have is lasagna...

on another note, breading a piece of lasagna and deep frying it would be delicious.
