Leafs have more talent than boston… just not the right mix. Making drastic changes because of an overtime loss would be a big mistake. Tweaking is the answer.. not a garage sale.

Depends what you mean by "talent". Because while the Leafs have offensive power, they don't have more talent on D or in net. That's two significant areas of weakness.

Drastic changes need to be made but in the right areas. Management needs to be replaced, coaching needs to be replaced and the bottom half of the lineup needs to be overhauled. Need upgrades on D and a goalie too. But anybody suggesting Matthews, Marner or Nylander be traded are out of their mind. Tavares is the one who needs to go. And that will happen within 1 year.

I’m sorry to derail your lecture professor.

I never knew you were a sesquipedalian.

Because the Leafs have absolutely sucked at drafting non-lottery picks the past 10 years and it has been to a massive detriment to the depth and playoff success of the team.

How gaga were you over all those busted picks that helped the Leafs win nothing at all?

Says the guy who was super pissed the leafs traded Robbie Earl for literal years.

You're right, it's not complicated. The Bruins are better at drafting, developing and coaching their prospects so they actually become NHL players who then beat the Leafs in the playoffs every time they meet. It is indeed very simple.

I would argue that the Bruins has a draft philosophy that wasn't to draft small players..That was a Dubas thing which he also applied to trades. Lohrei 6'4, Brazeau 6'5, Beecher 6'3

Dubas valued a certain type of player and it is fairly clear the Tre has a different set of values.
