Trade Deadline

It feels like yesterday where it felt like the Leafs were doing some awesome data driven things and ultimately lapping the league with their approach. A lack of success can be quite noisy unfortunately. And sometimes it results in a complete 180 change of direction. Kyle began that process, Tre is accelerating it.
 
Imagine if we lose in the first round and these guys all come back. I’m so sad. They’ve fucking ruined everything. The only thing that can save us is Matty and Marner demanding to be traded if they don’t sweep out this current management troika.
 


Except Benoit is miles better.

Yet again we've identified a bad #6 defender on one of the worst defences in hockey, who is one of the reasons it's one of the worst defences in hockey, and decided that he's the solution to our defensive problems.

To be really fucking clear...this is what we just did.

- We're a good but just good defensive team since Klingberg was banished (in a group of teams all bunched up in xGA/60 fighting for like the 8-12th spots) and we're either going to sit our best xGA defender (Benoit) or our 2nd best xGA defender (Lilly) to play the sheltered #6 (6th in defensive zone starts on Washington) with the worst xGA among defenders on the 25th worst defence in hockey.

Make this make motherfucking sense to me.
 
I've been searching my feelings to try to explain to myself how I feel right now about this team and I think I both have it, and have invented a new feeling.

I'm enraged, and distraught....all at the same time.

I'm disraged.
