As long as the Leafs don't make a nonsensical, historically dumbass blunder like trading Nylander or Marner, the Cup will be won by a current Leafs dman next season.

Hard to see the Leafs winning any trade that would involve Marner or Nylander.

Agree, keep adding.

Phil is actually a good player, has his weaknesses for sure, but also has skill. Here are 15 pure garbage players that have won the cup.

Andre Racicot
Dan Carcillo
Shawn Thornton
Corey Schwab
Ben Eager
Brad May
Jon Sim
Mike Peluso
Jim McKenzie
Kelly Buchberger
Joe DiPenta
John Grahame
Dan Hinote
Darren McCarty
Mike Commodore

Never said he was a bad player (though the bike gif is funny).

My point was I didn't follow his career closely enough after he left the Bruins to "get" the 40-goal joke.

Sometimes it's not about winning the trade.

Bruins didnt win the Thorton trade - but - that allowed them the flexibility to pick up Chara.

They wouldn't win the Marner trade but its possible to improve the team by trading Nylander. Not easy but possible.

I dont know who is a free agent this year who might be a Chara.

The only trade that makes a modicum of sense is Chychrun for Willy as the core pieces.. term / age and contract # ... on both sides works for each team.

We could acquire flexibility to add someone 3/4 as good as we traded away

I like the drums in this.

All I've been listening to lately is Stereolab. Never heard them before and I bought a ticket to see them in the fall. I love getting into a band that has a zillion songs.

Thanks - hadn’t heard them. They have a nice hippy, dippy sound. Here’s one from Willie’s (red headed stranger) kid.

Lot of different influences in Stereolab, I'm finding them endlessly fascinating.

Willie's kid is pretty good too. I love Willie.

except that they cannot add anynore, they will actually lose players. again.
they had to let Hyman go. now it's Kase, Campbell, Mikheyev...

Times of having elite superstars will get you through times of losing depth players better than times of being able to keep depth players will get you through times of having no elite superstars.

Also it's funny that you didn't mention that losing Hyman lead to them picking up Kase

Troll harder

Oh wait, you’re wrong. You exchange some players for some different players. It’s a complicated concept

Hyman is a depth player? your #1 goalie is a depth player?
and how that strategy worked out for you so far?
try it again, see if the results are different.

You spend a lot of time here and know a lot about the Leafs misfortunes, sure you’re not a Leaf fan?🤷🏼‍♂️

Sniff sniff…. Nope still a troll.

On a team as good as the Leafs, yeah Hyman on that contract is not a keeper. Campbell will be back. What's past is prologue. At least try when you're trolling, or pack it in my dude.
