I'm not feeling very good about losing McCann. I was a big fan of his all along, as was Bieksa#3 who I haven't seen in at least a year.

I always liked the kid too. They just (frank)ed up trading him imo. I think he'll prove that.

Four drafts under Benning, no first line talent......yet

Bieksa3 left because he “guaranteed” Dal Colle was the best player in the 2014 draft

Imagine how different we could look with McCann and those 2nds he traded.
Edit: Also, taking Nylander over Virt.

Maybe Boeser or Pettersson....but yes. Juolevi has to have a good year or he should be fired

oh yeah

It's true, I think this is his last year. Eriksson . Low finishes and bad attendance. He is a Lame duck

At the end of the day there's some quality kids in the system, but only a few will turn out. The downside is, there's been way too many mistakes along the way.

He'd get angry sometimes, or just venture into the Leafs thread.

As I said, just way too many missteps along the way. He's been painful to watch. But I think Aquilini's as much to blame.

I'll never forget when he pissed Lum off when he told him he's a journeyman carpenter so could be a dentist in England

We need a Silent owner as much as anything

MDZ owns this team now

They are 4 years away. He will be gone by then

Benning is basically prolonging the process much the same as Lowe did in Edmonton.
