With that in mind, we go to the wonderful world of Twitter (which is so accepting of differing opinions) to answer some of your questions about the Leafs:
- MIB


Was someone mean to you Mike? You can tell us. Hockeybuzz is a safe space.

Part of the reason why his workload is high is that Babcock does not appear to have a level of trust in Sparks as he did in veteran Curtis McElhinney.

How much trust did Babs actually have in Macelwhatisname though? I mean, he only played 18 games and 14 the year before. If that's how much he plays a backup he actually trusts, then Freddy is in for a busy season.

I was going to say FCN, but Iā€™m pretty sure MiB already blocked him.

Leafs should ask about Maroon... heā€™s no speedster, but has good hands, can finish and police some of the knuckleheads out there. And St. Louis is going nowhere fast.
Put a big deal together for him and Parayko...

With Petro sure.

Parayko will probably cost a Nylander. Thereā€™s probably a team out their that trades a significant young piece for him over a package. And I hope itā€™s not the Leafs.

Not a fan of Maroon, from what Ive seen, not a smart player and speed isnt there. Prone to selfish bad penalties.

But besides that

Love the future consideration trading not sure I have seen that before. 8/10 for original content.

Edit: This might even trigger an E2.

These are terrible.

You can't trade retained salary.

Appreciate the creativity but I doubt that package gets Provorov alone let
alone adding Simmons.

Also, trading for a goalie we lost on waivers? Doesn't seem like good asset management to me.

I don't think you can trade retained salaries either.

Iā€™m not saying Sparks is better and Iā€™m not saying Babcocks does have the same level of trust in sparks. But Cmac only started on back to backs when necessary. Sparks this year has played all the back to backs plus the game they rested Freddy before a few days off. So basically your claim is baseless and seems like a rather stupid statement. If he doesnā€™t appear to have the confidence it isnā€™t the lack of starts that shows that. So what shows it mike?

Everyone else has pointed how bad the value on these trades is and how you canā€™t trade cap retention... so I want to point out this little tidbit.


Wtf do you think future considerations are?

Also why is everything bold?

wtf

why would they give sparks and 3rd..plus future whatever that is ..for a player they could have just kept

this would be a dub move, not to mention how bad it would look if Dubas did that

Gotta love this fanbase.

From the Q&A we've had suggestions of trading Kapanen, Gardiner, Zaitsev, Hainsey, and just make a big trade.

And those 4 teams are all among the bottom 6 in the east.

Going into the xmas break on a nice little winning streak is a nice possibility.
