That was not my question. You're in college. You should understand that if a question is asked, you don't get to write whatever you want on the page that has nothing to do with the question. And if you do, you get an F. So, in summation, here is your grade...

I just don't like how he tossed away draft choices and prospects

Robin , McNabb, Kane,Josh - bad deals

ROR love him ..

But we could have Matthews or laine if we did not make those trades ( Kane ,ROR )

Since it had nothing to do with Laine, and you answered with Laine, our conversation went like this on a test form.

Q1) Give the square root of the number 9.

they are doing better than us right now, which should get pegula's attention


but they are nothing special and if we win tonight, they are 3 points up on us and we know how the leafs do in the second half of the season


it's a good story for a minute, but that minute could end real quick

- homiedclown


Man, you just refuse to give the Leafs any credit at all, huh? I can't say I blame you. The Leafs haven't exactly torn up the league over the past several years

But I don't think you can judge them based on history anymore. They've never, in team history, made a commitment to tear down and rebuild like this. As such, they've never had this level of talent on the ice and in the pipeline before

Also - Leafs have only played 41 games. If you make a reasonable adjustment for games played, they are sitting comfortably in 6th place in the East

They currently have two games in hand on Buffalo. So that 5-point gap is more like 7 or 8, realistically

Come on, I don't have 2020 vision

Actually it could be 3 answers. potatoes, taters, or spuds. Get off the couch and read a book.

No, because hindsight that makes Murray look bad is forbidden. Hindsight that makes him look good is acceptable.
- sbroads24


If he hadn't made any of those trades, you mean to tell me that during last season you wouldn't have complained about how awful we were for the 3rd year in a row?

I'm sorry, but this fan base was already tearing each other limb from limb after the first two 30th place finishes. Can't imagine what last year would have been like had they bottomed out a 3rd year in a row.

MSG is all about the Rangers/Knicks. SNY is all about the Jets. There's YES which is the Yankees channel. Sabres/Bills have some time on MSG right now but not much. ESPN couldn't be bothered with hockey in general and the Bills get talked about each year due to losing 4 super bowls and the drought but that's about it.

And there's a good chance they wouldn't have that season either if it wasn't shortened due to the lockout.

Nope. Not one bit. That's what I expected when the rebuild started, a slow process with a ton of young high end talent.

What I did not expect was to spend a ton of cap space, trade out a ton of picks, bring in 80% of a new blue line, almost a whole new forward core, all within 3 years, and still be a bottom 10 team.

I don't think we will be bad forever, I think picking Eichel and getting ROR will prevent that, but we all "suffered" so we could eventually watch a team that contends for years.
