I really hope the Leafs can keep both of these guys. Maybe if they trade Zaitsev and Gardiner. Another move also possibly. We'll see what Dubas does. It looks like this year and next year are their window. I'm not sure if this season is the year to go all in. We'll see. Tampa looks really...

If they can offload Zaitsev it might give them the cap space they need to sign both Matthews and Marner.

I know it's early but I'm wondering what the Leafs are going to do this season.  I have a feeling they might go all in, depending on their injury situation and also how well they are playing down the stretch.  Any ideas?  There has been speculation of trading Nylander or someone of his ilk for...

I don't think Zaitsev or Gardiner for that matter are as bad as people say.  We're all human.  Gardiner did look bad on that one goal but so what.  He's a good player.  There is always the concern with him that in the playoffs he will choke but we will see.  Zaitsev seems like a smooth skater...

I've gotta say I'm not a fan of the whole Nylander thing right now.  I would love to be proven wrong later in the season.  But as of right now I'm not a fan of the way it went down and also the way he has been playing.  It's like he got the big contract and now he's checked out.  I always found...

I say trade Nylander and keep both Kapanen and Johnsson.

I still don't think this move was baseball related.

You don't know that. And we never will because of this bone headed management.

So then why exactly do you feel that they shouldn't have allowed Tulo to attend spring training and build up some trade value? I understand the move in the sense that it gives the younger players playing time. But what I don't understand is paying him $30 million to do nothing when another team...

Can I just ask why this experiment was killed before it even started? Why not let Tulo report to spring training and perhaps build up some trade value? If he showed up at camp healthy and playing well, perhaps another team would have taken a flier on him and perhaps eaten up part of his salary...

The Leafs are going to have to stand up to the Boston bullies at one point or another.  They'd better hope they don't face them in the first round of the playoffs.  Even then, they will probably have to face them one way or another.  It's going to take a total team effort to beat them at their...

I still don't like him.  And I am entitled to that opinion.  ;)

It's because, well, didn't AA win MLB executive of the year that year?  When they fired Beeston I thought for sure they would promote AA to team president. I think there was a real human factor to this whole thing.  I can relate to AA in many ways and I will tell you that from what I have seen...

Did you even follow the team in 2015?  The Tulo trade turned the team around.  Jose Reyes is an idiot.  You seem to gravitate toward and admire these idiot types.  I can't stand them.

I would have traded Smoak at the first decent offer.  I'm sure he would have been of value to someone out there at some point. I thought AA did fine with prospects.  Wasn't Vladdy Jr. his doing?  Didn't he send Edwin down there to recruit him? Syndergaard was another good one.  Trading him for...

I'd be interested to see a team with a worse best player on their roster.  I'd venture to guess there aren't too many.

Enough to know that even if a bunch of those guys pan out they still won't be where they need to be. The Yankees with their endless cash just had a farm system like that and good players on their roster also and they still didn't win it all. The MLB as currently constructed is pay to win. ...

Smoak is just another example.  He should have been traded.  Why keep him?  Vladdy Jr. is projected to be more of a 1B anyways.  And Smoak has value.  I would say he had more value last season at the deadline. And yes, that is the problem.  They tanked halfway.  Not even halfway.  A mini tank. ...

Justin Smoak with his .250 batting average was just unanimously chosen as the Blue Jays best player of 2018.  That kind of says it all.  Pretty damning of the current team leadership IMO.  The second best player was Grichuk. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is not going to be the saviour for this team. ...

Well if Shapiro brings us a winner I will eat my hat *and* my shorts.  I feel it is far more likely he is going to run the franchise into the ground and Rogers Centre will be a ghost town.  You'll see.
