How are you going to work that out with Tavares and all the money locked up in the defensive end?

I do not see it happening. It would be great PR for new owners coming in, but it does not make sense for the team if they need to lose key guys to fit Stamkos. Islanders are better off dealing Hamonic for a wing for JT and Barzal will be fighting for a spot and hopefully Pulock helps with the loss of Hamonic. If the Islanders did not have JT then you go all in for Stamkos.

I would love to hear what all those people who are so upset the Leafs tanked, think they should have done...

Clarkson was a laughing stock contract... should they have kept him?

Phaneuf was routinely voted the most overrated player in the league and there were daily comments about how his was the worst contract in the league... so the Leafs should have kept him?

Kessel was routinely called a 1-dimensional, lazy player who had no leadership qualities... so should the Leafs have kept him?

SHould they not have traded away their assets at the last 2 deadlines, when they had ZERO realistic chance of making the playoffs?

Should they have played Bernier more, who gave the team absurdly bad goaltending the first couple months of the season?

Do they think Lupul, who is injured every year, was faking it?

We get trolled hard for years about this poop, and then when we get a management group that does something about it, finally, everyone is all butt hurt about us tanking...

Nope; I'm in total agreement with your post

That team needed to be torn down. They moved every single piece they should've, and as you said, every piece they moved was a piece that people were mocking before they got moved

The D is fine...

Gotta consider Rielly and Gards are a year older.. Marincin looked good late in the season. Add Zaitsev... Corrado is solid enough..

I understand the goaltending concern tho.. they need to trade for one... maybe move some prospects or something.

honestly with matthews coming here i feel the odds of signing stamkos is a lot higher. this is a team that could be borderline playoff ready as early as next year if stamkos comes.
- daeth


still need a goalie, and this is coming from a Bernier fan . Even if Stammer comes, we need to trade for a goalie.

Factor in the tradable assets in JVR, Gardiner, and Kadri. They won't all go, but you could get something relevant for any of them.

Now this makes sense. Let's see if JT re-signs or bolts to the Leafs
As other teams' fans always, everyone wants to go to Toronto
