Mike Augello: Leafs May Opt For Smaller Moves At Deadline; Anderson Demoted

I enjoy the game of ice hockey.

I just want to forfeit the next 2 cup runs and skip to 2025 so we can see if Nylander is still on the team at an affordable number

A wrist shot isn't as fast as a slapshot, but it's more accurate!

Looks like Sandin is back and timmins is 7th D. He has played great, tough call.

With Anderson demoted, is Simmonds back in?

I think hunt takes his spot and Sandin is activated.

Barbashev is an interesting player as well.

Hits, scores, good PKer and not a liability in his own end.

No, Hunt is still on the 4th line. They needed the roster spot for Sandin and Anderson was an emergency call up and didn’t need to clear waivers to go back down

StL would be foolish to trade him

Still think that JVR for the low price would be ok
Net front presence

Still have his winter classic jersey 👍

Weird how the Leafs have good D, while keeping their big 4 forwards and with Keefe coaching. Me no understand.

STL will not be a playoff team

He may want to test FA, they would be foolish not to trade him

…..Leafs may opt for smaller moves at trade deadline! No kidding Sherlock! Dubas is Mr. small moves! Other teams like Boston and Tampa swing for the fences every year while the Leafs settle for small moves and a 1st round exit! Yes this year will be no different.

Or, to put it another way, the Leafs will win the Cup.

JVR would be a low risk move and even with 50% retained would probably not cost much in the way of assets. Flyers will be sellers, St. Louis are not guaranteed to be sellers

Bullot tells us over and over and over again that he hates predictability. Also, Arthur Conan Doyle: not a comedy writer.

Bring it on home to me, bring me the cup.........

Abruzzese and a 2nd in 2024???

I think thats reasonable

Getting both ROR and him would be sweet but I don't know what that costs.

Don't think either are worth a 1st on their own.

Ok MIB, let's just combine the two needs and get a physical type scorer for the JT line.

I agree. I can picture a seventh game in overtime and that fool trying his patented between the legs shot.
