That's not how it works.

They'll get their ass kicked, they'll lose another asset for nothing and their future will be harder to correct. That's how it's working and it's not as good as the alternatives.

Yes and that 5th round pick is going to win the Leafs the Cup in 2030.

Cup is a cup

You're the one constantly harping on the "surrender" tag-line.

Blowing the team apart and literally trading away young guys for draft picks would be surrender. Moving Barrie is acknowledging that he made a bad trade and he's recovering his assets to better position himself for the future. There's a subtle difference if you put in the effort to see it.

You and asinine or whatever his name is keep suggesting that the team trade away roster players when they're in a playoff spot and give up on the season. And I'm telling you that's not ever going to happen, that's in 100% polar opposite of how NHL players and teams think.

Agreed. Edmonton did this for years either finishing 8th or 9th in the conference. Don’t want to get into that cycle.

I’m wondering what the world did to him.

The need to argue the negative end of every single argument is worrisome for anyone.

Watching those 80's promos are amazing. Guys are coked-out of their skulls. The Ultimate Warriors are hilarious.

As hard as it is to believe, they weren't on drugs on camera. That's just who they were as performers and personalities.

They definitely did drugs off camera but mostly the steroidal type.

And like I said, they're going to keep losing series, keep losing assets for nothing and keep failing to fix the major problems they have thus risking the one good chance at a Cup they've had in decades. Enjoy!

Yeah, built a poopty excuse for a Cup contender.

Not a real Leafs fan? poop team is all good with you?

That's what I always assumed, that it was crazy ass acting, but it is certainly easy to believe they were all on coke lol from how they carried on.

In his early days, Macho Man once robbed a store acting crazy just for the publicity as free advertisement. It's called "living the gimmick". Making people believe it's real when it's really a work. It's a lost art because it's nowhere near as entertaining as it once was.

Makes sense I guess. A lot of teams would hate to have Matthews, Marner, Tavares, Rielly, Nylander, Andersen, Muzzin and Kapanen on their roster. Better to have Polak, Komarov and Matt Martin types, right?

Think of the cap space lost. That's how you contend.
