So the Leafs were supposed to force a trade when clearly there were none available that were worth it?

Meh, they got a backup prior to the deadline, which was very much needed.

"The way the team played Saturday Night was inexcusable and yet no one paid the price"

Are you sure about that? They've been humiliated as a team worse than any team ever. The coverage of that incident was unperescedented.

To spin this as not a big deal and no one paid the price is pretty laughable.

Why would the Leafs trade Tyson Barrie for a crappy return?

And I know it's a "Feel Good" story, but jesus, Leafs have been destroyed over this story. If it happened in Arizona it wouldn't even have been noticed.
Leafs paid a massive price for this.

Hi Ek,

Robin Lehner passed on the Hurricanes this summer. Petr Mrazek is only expected to be out about a week. Their 3rd string goalie, Alex Nedeljkovic, was the AHL goaltender of the year last season.

There was no reason to trade a 1st round pick for a guy that you don't really need and it's highly unlikely you'll be able to sign.

Also there is no evidence to suggest that Craig Anderson or Louis Domingue would be better than Nedeljkovic or even Anton Forsberg. Ryan Miller MAYBE, but he wasn't traded to anyone, so who knows if he was even available.

BINGO!

That's what you get when you don't put the Canes on HNIC for 17 years.

The media is a major reason the Leafs aren't going to win a Cup again.

You are really embarrassing yourself (if that’s even possible anymore) with this clickbait nonsense. Tampa at 122 points? Yeah, ok. So they are going 18-0-1 from here on in? And the Rags at 79? 3-16-1 over their last 20?

Just stop it. Please.

Coverage is ridiculous. Guy has his own day just because he stepped in. Way overblown

Hey Ek. Could last night's win over Tampa be a TSN turning point for the Leafs?

Carolina lost a game he had them predicted to win and yet their projected point totals increased.

The big loser was the GM who gave an entire draft for a 3rd liner then gave said 3rd liner 6 years for 5 milion per when he desperatately needed a true top 6 forward.

These "predictions" change every day - and still manage to be totally wrong by the end of the season...

Like a gambler being allowed to change his bets to still lose lol

Tomorrow Ek will have Tampa going unbeaten the rest of the way but missing the playoffs. Sabres will get in.
