It is amusing actually, but not nearly as funny as some of the recent trade proposals on the Nucks site. Gallagher is the new Nylander and some genius is offering Sven Baertschi, Brandon Sutter and a 7th. Reminds me of the Tanev trade proposals.

Nothing is gonna top the absurdity of those.

Some legit thought they'd be getting a 1st and a top prospect for the guy.

What if 106 and 100 could have been better?

Ya, could have been 107 and 101?

Babcock didn't play someone so it the right choice, no chance he was wrong.

Babcock got 106 pts, no chance they could have been better.

The biggest problem by far is the backup situation. 1 out of 14 points. If the Leafs just got .500 out of the backups, they would be 3 points up on the Sabres for 2nd...

Ding ding ding!!!

Engvall has been a nice surprise.


I think maybe timashov goes in a deal for a backup.

Sure, that goes for everything in life.

Of course he was wrong in someways, but your hindsight is perfect, get your resume together so we can see the team go undefeated and win cup after cup.

Do you know what hindsight is? I've been saying for a while now, it's not hindsight.

Just cause some on here blind follow what ever he said or did (and amazing still do) doesn't mean there were some that saw the problems.

Meh, going forward I will coach as many nhl games in the future as him

He was asked about confidence and then asked what confidence meant and they had a hard time trying to explain it.

ryder, halak and a 2nd will go down in history as the best trade offer ever.

Tampa had 128 pts, swept in first round AND are not in a playoff spot. Basing this on points is absurd.

You’d have to follow the silly convo I was having, it’s ended now....so no worries.

I agree with you.

For that type of player, 30 goals and one of the best sh!t-disturbers in hockey - I would think even more. I think Montreal will try to lock him up to a Marchand type deal long-term. He's probably their best forward, and easier to see them moving Domi before Gallagher.

Slim pickings for NHL backups making about $700K. Moving out salary might be needed to get it done.

Perhaps.

But they're not trading a guy with salary for a backup. If they do have to move salary it'll have to be another trade (or larger trade).

I would take Georgiev in a second, but the price might be more than Leafs willing to pay.

Agree, cap will remain an issue when Johnsson returns, as well as at the TDL - giving Leafs almost no flexibility to add.

Marlies tied it 1-1. Another goal for Clune.

They have another guy coming they are high on and backup goalie don't cost an arm and a leg.

That's great, too.

But Tanev is, at his best, a #4 guy. Be grateful if you get a 2nd and a mid tier prospect.

Finished watching the game on the PVR, hungover as (frank), so here's Gravy's Hot Takes:

- Holl is a revelation this year and by far our most consistent Dman on this team, with Dermott and Muzzin a close second.

- Ceci makes Marincin look like Datsyuk with the puck. Wow.

- Andersen's gotta be in the best goalie in the league conversation this year, if only for consistency and cranking out wins.

- Hughsuck and Simpleton had a hard time saying anything nice as per usual, but they did like Holl's game.

- Matthews and Nylander have been poop lately, Matthews in particular. Playing sheltered minutes for the most part against a one-line team in EDM? They should've demolished the comp.
- gravyface

Anyone who can't tell Matthews' game has regressed significantly is flat out stupid, or just unwilling to see reality.
