Not even worth watching the lottery. 12.5 % blows...

Leafs won't win it.


Gotta get a real top-pairing D with Rielly.

If only anyone wanted to actually play in Buffalo Cant wait until Buffalo overpays another Jeff Skinner type.

The most important factor is that they're gonna need guys to actually want to go to Buffalo.

With the way the team is being run, seems unlikely.

Leafs went a long ass time with the exact same problem.

Agreed. I think they target some UFAs

Brodie/Hamonic/Petro/Buff(short term low dollars)

Maybe consider trading Andersen, and signing Lehner.

We'll be talking about that Friday night for generations. It was a turning-point for this franchise.

No one really thinks the Leafs will win the lottery. We arent Edmonton FFS. Its ok, well start retooling at the draft and move on.

Leafs were just unlucky. They had a better Corsi, WAR, exGF, and way higher Jfresh scores. But they just happened to shoot like 2% over a small sample size versus a hot goalie. Only a fool would overreact to this.

Dont get your hopes up, no way the Leafs win the lottery.

Honestly, what I dont get is why they didnt have a lottery for seeding all the slots from 9-15, they should have done that as well.

- Archaic


You are wrong about this.

It is pretty obvious, and the NHL has made it obvious that they have a 12.5% chance of winning.

Your prediction of the Leafs winning the cup was a little off in the end.

I could make fun of you, but I just hope you might learn from this.

T Thompson = Tage Thompson?

I hope Spezza comes back for one more year.

I'd do the Ekblad trade.

Tanev is hurt too much.

I'd keep kap and Dermott for one more year at least.

I like the way Clifford played this series but I'd let him walk, too.

If they sign Lehner, I'd be cool with trading Freddy for Bennet but I'd hope to get something else back, too. Even if it's just a pick.
