Scmaltz is one that really interests me, for definite.

I’d agree with this, but also add Domi as a priority. I’d also consider seeing what package might exist for Carlo. What about a Stolarz? Or is he one to maybe use for a bigger trade in the summer? Either way I’d like to see Hildeby getting a game a week, or more, the rest of the season. I’d...

But they're just SO close to being a cup challenger. One big move should swing it.

Close enough 😀

Exactly. We need to put a stop to that for the next few months. Stat.

Stolarz to play the game of his life and shutout the Oilers with a 73 save performance while the Leafs win 1-0 with their goal coming from a shot that isn't even actually a shot but a pass from a partially retrieved dump in behind the net that banks in off Ekholm's left buttcheek while the Leafs...

They need to sit Woll and Nylander or they’re going to end up with the 6th pick. Which is of course the first un-protected one that would go straight to Boston and is exactly where the Leafs are destined/cursed to finish.

Would be appropriate if Leafs lost this to the Flmes and it ended the Treliving era in Toronto.

Have the relieved Treliving of his duties yet?

I think I’ve worked out why the Leafs are losing. One of the players kids has gone back to the future and inadvertently changed the past and caused a glitch in the Leafs real present. And that’s why our defence has been full of holes. Or else the fake digital ad boards just glitched.

They were pretty bad last season too even with Marner. The goalies covered up a lot of issues.

I just want them to be two things: realistic and proactive. They’re not going to make the playoffs. And even if they do, they’ll just prolong the point at which they embarrass themselves this season, if it is t already well gone. And sitting around doing nothing, or worse, waiting, is being...

Just stop sitting on your hands and dragging things out. Make the GM change now. Maybe even the coach one. But definitely the GM one. And they probably do actually need some kind of “hockey” president to sit between Pelley/MLSE and the GM in a similar role to Shanahan held.

I thought maybe he’d been hit by a plate, going by the curve. That’s actually even more brutal.

Might wake up in time for the third. Could well be tempted back to sleep by 2 minutes into the third.

I do like the Kraken branding and stuff though. I think if I was a new, young NHL fan looking to pick a team it might hook me in.

Oh yeah, it’s like an ongoing accumulation of crap. Doesn’t help to recognise it as you say, in terms of changing those pasts. Only hope is the next time they learn… On your point about draft picks, I’d not be as worried about getting a 1st (well I’d still try and get one obviously) but as...

Yes, I think they were (especially Dubas) adapting. The pace of that adaptation was probably too slow. And I wonder if pressure from above also slowed it down. (Trading Marner being blocked by Shanahan debate etc). I'd not have been averse to Dubas picking a Keefe replacement, possibly a season...

Think I can agree with your concerns about best years and health and having wasted those. But even if he can remain a ~40 goal scorer on a "average" year and maybe still touch 50 on an "up" year, if you can surround him with a better cast I think he can remain a top tier talent, especially as I...

I agree with you on the general jist of the mismanagement. And the way you spell it out there makes it even more stark. But I do think they can rebuild around Matthews. And I'd like them to do so. Cos I think he can still be your guy, assuming that's what he wants, of course. It just takes a...
