All joke aside its a good move for the leafs, on a very decent price.

They are definitely a better team now and they addressed a big need.

The question I feel nobody is asking right now is : is that enough to make them a contender ? AKA can they even come out of the east..

Far from sure

Leafs still don't win the Cup

it stinks of desperation

If he is a legit top 4 guy, then I think its a fantastic deal, and the price is right.

I really wanted the leafs to land Mcdonagh last year, but I don't think he made Tampa THAT much better. It is hard to say how a player will impact your team.

I am also worried about transition time. Some players take a while to adjust to new partners, coach, system etc... I also realize that I don't know anything about the guy outside of his stat line... So, whats the honest scoop on Muzzin? I don't watch any Kings games, so I really don't know what kind of D he is. Any comparable guys in the East?

Last year? Not really. Maybe a bit... he was injured and didn't get the system.


This year? Weeew.... he's been a force.

Leafs got hosed..A grade🤣🤣..LA robbed you just by getting the 1st round pick

Lol.. Late pick in a weak draft.. Worry about your own tire fire of a team and if they'll be able to resign gritty next year..

Oh course they are good enough. Look at that roster.

Kadri as a terrible season, he not great he good, and most leafs fans are currently wishing last night trade means Gardiner is on the way out..

So yeah...

Our 3rd line centre would be the 1st line C on the Habs.

Habs fans aren't what they used to be. But then again either is thier team.

Gritty's still under a ELMC.

(Entry Level Mascot Contract).

But if I had mad photoshop skillz, I'd be making a picture of Gritty sleeping on Leafs sheets.

Hahahaha....I thought the same thing. I picture him wearing a beret, and smoking a really long cigarette

This is precisely why I do the Leafs Predictor every year.

It started with my brothers - who would always take credit for amazing clairvoyance when it came to the Leafs. "I told you blah blah blah..."

So I started forcing them to fill the sheets out - no Leafs tickets unless they filled it out.

It's quite a fun exercise - and most importantly, it's a written record.

I’ll fill out a sheet some tickets.

I’ll fill anything you want filled.

Say the guy who's team plays in Brooklyn in a basketball arena.

Who thought the Leafs could get a solid top 4 D.without giving up Kapanen, Sandin or Liljegren?

I don't think it'll matter in the grand scheme of things...

I hope the Bruins Habs play against each other in the second round.

That's the greatest rivalry in hockey when both teams regularly face off in the playoffs...

You are very optimistic. I would say don't get past game 6 of the first round. Maybe game 5.

Only inasmuch as the hockey hall of fame is in the city...

Otherwise no one there would even know what it looks like in person...

So with Tavares and Muzzin added, they do much worse than last year?

Good luck beating a team with those 3 centres.

Lost in the 3rd period of game 7 with no Tavares, Muzzin, Kadri suspended 3 games and .896 save % the 7 games.

Think all of that repeats and the new additions are invisible?
