Never doubt zeke when he's feeling mopey about the Leafs, and especially Dubas.

 

[CH1]

word is any player you pick up after 3pm ET can't suit up for the playoffs #insider

 

[Hoss]

Talking shit again... Just for fun

Try Morgan Reilly as a LW for against Vancouver only.

Mcabe Brodie 25 min
Gio Lilly 20 min

I was hoping it was because some of his Collective Arts sours got stale

 

[MindzEye]

Anything but a deep playoff run and I'm entirely onboard the #FireEveryone train.

 

[Artnes]

Im a little taken back on the strategy here. Some great moves followed up by what ended up being some real head scratchers

Came here to ask this, is there any reason to keep glasses and his coach if they fail to get out of the first round once again? how many times shoudl a regime get do overs? especially when they are gifted with AM?

 

[Artnes]

Maybe they see something in Knies being the key add to the top 6 but history and logic say otherwise

Yeah, Dubas, Keefe and Shanahan can all GTFO at this point if we don’t go on a deep run.

 

[Preston]

As a whole I have a hard time saying they're any better this year. Flat at best, with Matthews in much worse form. And guess what? Who are they going to rely on to give them secondary scoring? 2 guys that have 8 goals in 112 career playoff games. That'll go well I'm sure.

 

[MindzEye]

Yeah, I was all in on the "let's be smarter than everyone in the universe, leverage data in ways other organizations aren't, etc" train, even if it was bumpy, but if it was all just to run back into our burrows when we saw our own shadow and do it the same way the other organizations are doing...but not do it as well as the elite...just fuck off and go somewhere else pls.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Hahaha, they didn’t do anything else?? What the fuck?? So we decided we were too good and just needed to dump Sandin and Engvall to make it fair for everyone else?? Haha, fuck off. First round legends.

ROR was a great playoff beast add

 

[Artnes]

Per the match it appears Knies is the deadline addition. Nerd better be right

 

[MindzEye]

Yep, but can he provide enough secondary offence with Kerfoot and Lafferty as his wingers?

 

[MindzEye]

I pray that I'm wrong about Knies and that he's NHL ready right now.

 

[LeafGm]

Fuck.

It’s both totally unsurprising and unbelievable that we’re rolling back into the playoffs with fucking Kerfoot on the roster taking up $3.5M in cap space.

 

[Preston]

Mikheyev ---> O'Reilly
Engvall ------> Acciari
Kase ----------> Jarnkrok
Blackwell ---> Lafferty
Spezza ------> ZAR

Muzzin -------> McCabe
Boosh ---------> Schenn
Sandin --------> Gustafsson

Campbell -----> Samsonov
Mrazek ---------> Murray

Not overwhelmed by the "upgrades" tbh.

Gonna bump this up since this is where we stand on this year vs last year. Granted, with a little luck they would have beaten Tampa, but it's a lot of wheeling and dealing and trading draft capital to end up in the same spot while making the same mistakes really.
