Leafs players did pay the price after Saturday because he didn't throw them another lifeline! Basically told his team that you put yourself here, it's up to you to get yourself out of it! Frank, fight or hold the light!

Eks projections are the best hockey comedy out there.

Carolina lost a game he had them predicted to win and yet their projected point totals increased.

Why would the Leafs trade Tyson Barrie for a crappy return?
- Roger

Because they needed to trade Barrie so they could get two stud defencemen and a checking centre and another backup goalie.

Dubas failed to do this - he was offered Giordano, Burns and Hedman for Barrie, but Dubas turned it down because he was too scared of making mistakes.

And I don’t mean three different trade proposals - the deal on the table was Barrie for all those guys.

You are really embarrassing yourself (if that’s even possible anymore) with this clickbait nonsense. Tampa at 122 points? Yeah, ok. So they are going 18-0-1 from here on in? And the Rags at 79? 3-16-1 over their last 20?

Just stop it. Please.

Eklund,

how do you see the Rangers only getting 7 points in their last 20 games

I am not trolling, I just want it explained to me

Is the algorithm you are using to predict the final standings written by a heroin addicted crack whore living on the Streets of San Francisco?

Tampa going to win out to get 122 points?

Comon man.

You ever stop to think that maybe Ek’s math is correct and the NHL has it wrong?

I like what the Leafs did. Everyone is criticizing them, ignoring the fact they have missed between 2 and 5 players from every game this year.

They know if they get healthy they have one of, if not the very best rosters in the league. It took guts to stand pat in this market, but time is going to prove Dubas as the NHL's best GM.

Plus, other than Tampa, Boston, Carolina and maybe Edmonton, every other team over paid for non-impact players.

Also, Tyson Barrie is better than every defenseman that was traded at the deadline or before it, so Leafs got the best rental on the market anyways.

I'm sure Ek being an unbiased Flyers fan has nothing to do with it.

The big loser was the GM who gave an entire draft for a 3rd liner then gave said 3rd liner 6 years for 5 milion per when he desperatately needed a true top 6 forward.

And when I tell him to proof read his error-ridden blogs, my posts get deleted, and I got my account suspended for 24 hours. But people can make posts like this no problem.
