That must be the break maybe....is that at the end of Jan? That's when the 4 day break is.

Yeah. I don't wanna jinx anything (but I'm gonna). It might take a monumental effort for the Leafs not to make the playoffs. Doesn't look like any team other than Montreal really want to make it in our division. Florida and Tampa are there for the taking (at this moment). Also, with the Leafs weird schedule it allows them to play 5 games in 3 days and then have a week of video, tactical breakdown and relaxation, then go again for 5 games.

Fortunately (for pro Nylander fans), I honestly don't see our management trading youth away any time soon, which quite honestly feels really weird.

I dunno, what's going on under his nose? To the left and right of his eyes? The general head area?
- TheMussel

I dunno. It's not nice to bully kids obviously, and I can't remember what I looked like at his age, but (frank) me.

I agree about the older guys. Our vets are either tweezers JVR, Kadri, Komarov, Bozak (not really proper vets and no idea what they will tell Marnthewsder about their playoff experience ) or fairly poop like Hunlak.

If they do somehow make the playoffs we may see a couple of expiring UFA's to be around for the playoffs. Maybe a dman and a 4th line centre or LW to replace Gauthier or Sosh. Don't think anything major will happen in season, especially with expansion coming up. In fact, that might stop everything league wide.

I agree, I doubt any big trade occurs this season...Im hoping for some minor ones to improve our 3rd line D.

True.
But I dont mind an older D vet with actual playoff experience. Teach these kids what it takes.
Age wise Fowler would make more sense (off season trade).
IMO a couple older players are needed to be sprinkled throughout the line up.

Instead of one of these 'older' d-men, Leafs should try get one of following (we could add to the list) of younger (potential) top 2/4 d-men:

- Hamilton (probably not feasible)
- Honka
- Jones (probably not feasible)
- Madison Bowey (would be my favorite add)

If a bit older, then maybe Leddy, Spurgeon.

How many times has he been traded?

So with no cliff fletcher...I guess we can t expect a massive trade for a player that will become the most revered in all sports in this city?

Hawks looking for a winger...maybe we could grab JVR's brother for the 3rd pair. Not sure if he's any better than Hunwick.

TVR to JVR he shoots he scores!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It'd be hard to get the Stars to bite on trading away a D. Their D sucks balls right now

Then boom.

Implosion.

No playoffs.
