It's been a long four years, the return of the magic number thread

I think the Flyers would love to knock out CBJ. Also I don't buy the tanking for a draft pick because the parent company wants to see progress and ending the season hot will buy Briere more time.

Corporate hacks don't think like fans, never have.

Corporate hacks also don't look at the sports pages to see if their team is winning. They look at the business pages for that. A team that goes 0-82 but is flush with cash is more of a "winner" in their eyes than a team that goes 82-0 but operates in the red.

Wrong

Playoffs mean more than 82 games. Stagnation is unacceptable in business.

The Leafs have been "stagnating" on the ice for nearly 60 years. But on the balance sheet they are the #1 team in hockey. Ask their ownership group if they'd like to trade one for the other. If they're being honest they will tell you that things are fine just the way they are.
 
What the actual fuck are you even taking about with your unrealistic and flat out stupid strawman scenarios?

Up your meds.

Sure but that's also a bitter pill of medicine. A summer of thinking we were right there for the players and should we have added help for management.

Again, I think they get in by the skin of their teeth, which is also a lesson.

It's still frustrating knowing that the best we will be able to do is Duchene as a 2C....not sure we will solve our 2nd line issue unless we trade a Slaf or Cole for a younger established 2C (don't ask me who that could be)
 
In retropect, drafting Tkachuk and Cooley put this team over the top.

Turns out Cooley is exactly what the Habs needed.

Look at the last 10 years of Leafs playoff results juxtaposed with the last 10 years of their earnings. They are only stagnating on one of those metrics and it isn't the one that ownership really cares about.
