A 2nd and 4th for Scandella and Sergio has to open a sandwich shop in Toronto

no can do unless the package is AWESOME. No first round pick this year means the prospects would have to be awesome…..

Ummm and the fact that Barrie as a DMan has about the same amount of points as Kadri and then theres Kerfoots on top of that...

- Buck Norris

Maybe just maybe people should evaluate players (and in particular d-man) on additional criteria than just points...

You're right. We should have traded Kadri for Roope Hintz.

Isn't that just as damning on the d-zone coverage and lack of structure?
I would like to see some analytics on;

- Turnovers on zone clearing/outlet passes
- Opposition d-zone possession time
- Percentage of missed d-zone clearing chances
- Rebound control / possession percentage.

The wingers fly the zone too early. It's too easy for opposition to pass the puck around the boards and to the point. Leafs need better structure and anticipation to intercept and disrupt cycles. It's not just about the goalie or other individual positions being better defensively.

Likely OTT didn't want to deal within the division. I am sure the Panthers, Lighting and Leafs would of all done that.

So if the Leafs don't get at least 2 points in this Penguins deal, will heads start rolling?

Why is Marincin in?

Isn't the definition of insanity doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results?

3rd plus a 5th or 6th

a middling prospect

Not hard to add to a 3rd

It's not all on the goaltending, but Andersen has been struggling.. Often, a goal scored against is the result of a forward or defenseman doing something wrong.

With that said, every team makes mistakes at 5 on 5, not just the Leafs.. Look at the save % of some of the teams below us in the standings.. If we got league average save %, we'd be a lot better

I want to see Duthie on TSN right now. Crying as his deadline day is falling apart a WEEK in advance. The show lives off the deals of Toffoli, Demelo, Coleman....

It will be 8 hours of the TSN panel discussing an AHL trade and what ripple effect will that one trade have.

His defensive analytics are pretty good.
Same with ceci.
Stats wise, he should improve the D.

So, i guess there's that.

I think this will be the year that they realize it's dead in the way it's done now. Time to change it up. I would be fine if the show started at noon.

Recap of deals of the day and the deals from a few weeks out and such can be talked about and etc.

I would love to see Barrie moved to recoup something, anything, from the godawful Kadri deal.

Agree. Mentioned the same on page 16. Blast Kerfoot out of here too.

14-8 is going to be very tough with their schedule. Prepare your hearts gentlemen, for the possible outcome of falling short of the playoffs.
