LEAFS PULL OFF ONE OF BIGGEST TRADES IN NHL HISTORY

Not even Crosby could save the Leafs

Bro vintage Gretzky couldn't save the leafs

Sidney Crosby isn't a defenseman.

No from both. Neither player fits the timeline of the other team. Leafs fans need to be patient. We have the pieces (with the exception of maybe another RHD) to make a good run, and its up to the players to show up. If it doesn't happen this year, these guys are still very young- most teams don't win when their core is this young, and can take these experiences into the next years. I think the leafs will come into the playoffs as underdogs and do better than people expect- I'm not saying to plan the parade or anything, but if they clean up their act a bit, I still believe that this team can show growth in the playoffs this year. Won't be easy likely playing against BOS/TBL/WAS/PIT, but they're not out yet. Worst thing they could do is panic and sell out the future of this team

They said the same thing about Kawhi when he joined the Raptors. Crosby is the one hockey player in the world who could show Leafs how to win immediately and consistently. Interested in Penguin fans opinions about the postive effect Crosby could have on a team like the Leafs.
