A known leafs burner account is reporting the leafs are deep in trade talks to acquire a top 4 dman from the ducks and/or the devils. Said it could happen in next 48 hours and that it is a big trade.

This account broke the Campbell trade hours before anyone else had it and also reported that the leafs were in on Coleman to some extent before being beaten by the bolts.

From his info, he is clearly coming from the player side of things.

Get ready...

Too many chefs spoil the... In the Leafs case to many superstar egos ruins the room!

I expect this team to play complete 60 min-games from now on, and I believe they will still make the playoffs; but, I also would understand with this much turnover, it will take a lot of coaching to get them all on the same page.

Yes!
Losing Matthew is a losing a superstar, but in turn, if you look at all my trades as a whole (viewing the lines I created)... I did balance the defence, and the offence is better too, meaning more spread out (cap-wise) aswell.

This team is one I would put complete faith in to win next... as a team. Not only that, we can restock (four 1st-round, a 2&3rd round pick coming back), therefore our development system to sustain winning!

For anyone who challenges me regarding whether or not Arizona would complete this trade, I say this. NO WAY Arizona, don't take this deal... Matthews will sell seats and season tickets holders pay the bills and more! He will win hardware too.

Hey, I like Manson but is he really gonna fix the real problem. The defence is a big problem but in truth our depth which is something I have been saying ever since I join these chats at CapFriendly is sparse! I love Johnny T but signing him rocketed us into conversations the team wasn't ready to start. We should still be focusing on building assets but lately, we are tossing them all away.

How does one get ready to watch his team be ruined? No matter what the rm is broken! It won't be fixed as long as the players have this much control of that room. They got a 5+ million dollar Hall of Fame coach fired. Because of a past Ottawa Sen in his twilight didn't get his ego stroked... that BS media narrative is suspicious and frankly even when Spezza tied his laces on the wrong side of the battle of Ontario he sucked on the defensive side of the game; which, was what he was signed for. None-the-less, As long as they are together we won't win! Because nobody can tell them what to do!
