You don't think drafting Virtanen and trading for Gudbranson in an 18 month period is not tanking on purpose?

Virtanen is the gift that keeps on giving...

How many years did we spend here where you couldn't swing a dead cat in the Leafs thread without hitting 4 or 5 trolls from the Canucks fanbase.

It is going to be a long, and enjoyable payback. The last few years of Canucks misery haven't even been an amuse bouche.

Pretty much to a man, the Nucks fans were unbearable for 3 or 4 years. Turned me into the troll I am today. I owe them everything.

Yep their team is already going to be a band of misfits now without a top 3 young star. However once the dust settles sometimes gems can be found around the 6-8 spot... example: Nylander
- BKups

this is pretty funny

the leafs hired the guy who wrote for Canucks army that was hoping Nylander fell to the Canucks at #5

The scenarios I’m devising to which William Nylander falls to the Vancouver Canucks are much like an England fan devises ways the Three Lions could advance to the knockout stage of the World Cup despite losing both their first two games.

“Well, you get the two Sams off the board, and also Aaron Ekblad, maybe Florida take him? And maybe the Oilers reach on a defenceman like Haydn Fleury, and, uh, Brian Burke likes Nick Ritchie, yes? There!”

It’s a wildly plausible scenario and not at all likely to result in heartbreak. Nylander is our third-ranked prospect, but probably the most exciting player in the draft.

Use JVR for bait, with or without assets for a top 4 defenseman. If Rick Nash is available, see what it would cost to plug him into that spot. Try to sign Boyle, for a year or two, but if that fails, either use the goat or find another comparative 4th line centre with size. If Alzner falls into the 5 million per year price range, for 5 or 6 years, by all means, pull the trigger. Only current Leafs defensemen worth returning are Zeitsev, Rielly, Gardner and Polak. Consider another veteran winger with size for the third or fourth line. Draft a goaltender in the second or third round for long term development.

Are these GIFs supposed to be out of sync with the caption?

Seems like they all are; maybe that's a joke in itself that I'm unaware of. I am old and lame, so there's a good chance of that.

I'd give him maybe $3m and not a penny more. And certainly not for 5 or 6 years

I like the Edmonton fanbase here, but I have a difficult time cheering for a Canadian team. My son is a big McDavid fan so I am sort of cheering for them also
