Like when the Leafs traded for Wade Belak but thought they were getting Rob Blake.

"Leon Draisaitl is super overrated. Despite racking up PP points, he has a 47 % Corsi

They are going to give him the least deserved Hart Trophy in NHL history."

Tanner wins Clown Post of the year. Then again he plays one at McDonald's 5 days a week.

On Vatanen - "It looks like a deal could be done by Monday"

Between now and the deadline, players from some teams could be traded.

Defence and goalies are not the issue, its team defense in my stupid opinion. Forwards do not come back and help. They are flying the zone looking for breakaways

Did he seriously say that? I stopped reading his BS a couple years ago when he said in a preseason prediction blog that Carolina was gonna win the East and Toronto was gonna win the cup.

They could have had DeMelo for a 3rd round pick.

If Vatanen gets traded I’m very interested to see what the return would be, considering it’s been a sellers market so far.

Someone on the radio came up with this brilliant assessment a couple weeks ago...

"The Leafs are a team that tries to win by outscoring their opponent."

Is that like when the Leafs signed Jeff Finger because they thought he was Kurt Sauer?

Ah yes I remember this. That's when the Leafs gave their fans the Finger. That contract was so bad. They buried him in the minors.

Jason Blake. The man who never met a bottle of peroxide he didn't like.

Funny thing is Sauer wasn't any better. Even if they had given the 14m contract to the right guy it still would have been terrible.

I recall Finger playing for the AVS against Detroit in the second round of the 2008 playoffs. Johan Franzen went off on a crazy scoring binge. Wings swept the series in 4 straight games. Finger was BAD. The entire team was. But I shook my head when the Leafs signed him to that big contract a couple months later.

The only thing more embarrassing than the present is the past, for Leafs fans. Even then, the difference isn't much.

Leafs will make the playoffs. I don't see them getting past the first round. But stranger things have happened.

I think this deal addresses a lot of the Leafs current needs...
- they get smaller
- they get "Swiss"-er
- they get a pal of Matthews

Checks all the boxes. That said, a couple of questions, that maybe those more knowledgeable than me (everyone) might be able to help with...
- who the (frank) is Denis Malgin?
- what was wrong with Mason Marchment
- why are they dealing with Panthers, at this time of this year

Faith is on reserve... almost on empty.

- grim

I'll bite:

1. Malgin is a marginal NHL player.

Pro-tip: The interwebs has some cool search engines where you can find all kinds of information on marginal NHL players like Malgin.

2. Marchment is not an NHL player.

3. Neither one of these players moves the playoffs needle in the slightest.

4. Faith is a bull(poop) concept.
