Mike Augello: Why the Leafs should be sellers on deadline day; swap Hutchinson for Rosen

It's hard to be a true seller when you are in a vplayoff spot and your main rivals for it are being told to cut 10 million from their budget and are broke.

Beaut move, Dubas. Hutch was worthless, Rosen will at least be a solid Marlies defender.

or if you're up against the cap with hardly any assets to move.

"Sunday that the Leafs cooled on adding free agent defenseman Zach Bogosian before the veteran signed with the Lightning,"

Here's my theory: Leafs were never interested, but their name was put in to get attention by the media and then the "Cooled off" idea came with the explanation he signed with the Lghtning

Leafs can move any contract. Majority of playoff teams are right at the cap/

Still move Barrie out. take the best offer.
See if you can move those assets for a RHD that fits better. if not, wait.

Pfffft.....What do you know?

Trade Barrie to the Canes for their own pick back and some other stuff, maybe a mid level defensive prospect.

How to wear Zubaz pants.

Its supposed to be a crazy good and deep draft. Sell for picks. This team and this season is a write off.

Except they are headed to the playoffs.

Leafs have no business in the playoffs with this D and goaltending. However, they score like mad so that’s how they have hung on so far.

Too late to fix the system. Enjoy the playoffs, out at the hands of angry Tampa in round 1. Retool D for next year

Cool theory
Probably completely wrong.

Glad to see that Dubas is working the phones hard in order to solidify another AHL championship team...
