I am at the point where I don't think any defenseman will change the equation.

Teams have no-name unheralded guys all the time on defense. The problem is the lack of commitment to defense, team-wide, and the poor goaltending we have had overall.

Dubie will re up muzzin and when rielly comes back from injury, the leafs brass will once again sell it as "its almost like getting a top 4 D via trade....only it didnt cost us anything".
Leafs will rejoice!

I really want muzzin back, my gawd does this team miss him.

Agreed.. One guy won't fix everything.. Our issue is team defense.

A team that is currently out of a playoff spot should contemplate trading an expiring asset at the deadline.

Wow, what a radical thought.

I cannot believe someone would be criticized for suggesting it. On the other hand this is HB.

Unless we see a dramatic turn around on this team, they definitely should consider moving Barrie. Believing this team is a serious contender is pretty (frank)ing stupid... again, barring a huge turnaround in discipline, toughness, maturity and effort.

I have no idea what the trading Matthews question was about (stupid bird), but I will say this... Once he is in year 4 of this deal, unless you KNOW you are going to re-sign him, then you definitely take a hard look at trading him. Once he hits year 5, he has a NMC and anyone who just blindly believe he won't leave in free agency didn't pay enough attention to Tavares.

Only trade players if you are improving this team now. the standings are very close, the Leafs have had some obstacles to overcome (Babs, injuries, a stretch of bad goalies)

not every season is a masterpiece from start to Finnish, but (frank) me if I am going to root for the team to sell off players because Matthews might Leave in 5 (frank)ing years.

Time for me to get out my calculator ( as I don’t have enough fingers and toes ) to count all the breakaways and odd man rushes the last 6.

I’ll start rewatching the games now and get back to you guys

Wow what a beautiful day

This 1,000 times.

There is a window here and you don’t make the team worse at the TDL. That window could very well be slammed shut in 5 years.

Having an extra Korshkov on the Marlies isn’t going to help when the team is lacking talent.

A bunch of websites keep track of this for you.

No need to get out your calculator and do it yourself.
