Did I spell that wrong?
What top 2 defense are you gonna get with the Leafs other assets?
2 firsts and a second?

Usually that discussion has involved

1) We sign Tavares ( )

2) We trade him for a young, 1st pairing Dman. and we would have to add, significantly
- Aetherial

If the Leafs sign Tavares it'll be with a no trade clause.


Oh that's not what you meant.

no it was spelled correctly; The issue is you thinking the Leafs only have 1 way to improve their defense. As if there is some sort of urgency, or panic button and it needs to be done immediately.

You arnt going to get that with Nylander.
Its on Dubas to improve the D, Keep the big 3 and figure out another way

Its no secret I am a big Dubas fan and think he will do great things for the Leafs..but he doesnt get a free pass from me. I expect him to be creative and fix some of these issues

My favourite is 1996:

10 years later, the Leafs drafted 6 NHLers with 7 picks.


Tlusty, Kulemin, Riemer, Holzer, Stalberg, and Komarov.


So what's better. Whiffing on every pick except for your second last one, and drafting a star d-man there, or getting a whole lotta meh?

Nylander and a first will get you Hamilton all day.

I thought it was telling that Matthews threw a hissy fit because he wants to play with Marner.

Kinda implies he thinks Marner > Nylander, no?
- Atomic Wedgie

Or.
He thinks they have better chemistry?

Over payment...

But, with a defenseman like that the Leafs are into the second round.

Nylander and a first will get you Hamilton all day.

Wouldn't you want him for more than a day though?

doesnt matter both mean the Leafs were bad at drafting.

You wouldn't even get Josh Leivo if you traded Leivo and a 4th; that's not the point..

Leafs have other assets to trade if a trade is the route you take;

Nylander-Matthews-Marner-Rielly should be untouchables.

No one is untouchable.

Take me for instance.....very touchable.

I think Dubas will do well here;

The way I see it on here: if the Leafs win the Cup in the next 3-5 years, it's because of Lamoriello and Hunter's work. If they don't, it's because Dubas failed.


Still keeping the big 3 is a must for me;

Could have used him that one day, you know game 7...
or even that 1 period.

But The Geek has a lot to do this off season.

Mark Stone 8.7 Melnyk will get rid of his ass if he wants that

I like that the Leafs will sign Tavares for 10 mil

Who is this moron? These deals are laughable
