That team is not a cup favorite.

I don't see the Kings retaining for a 2nd. Cap space is at a premium and needs to be used wisely

how?

Now go do acgms for the other teams with these trades. It doesnt just have to make sense in terms of value but fit also.

This Leafs team might be worse.

Because other teams are way way way way better. You’ve tinkered with this team, and i think made it better, but it’s still the team that just bowed out in the first round for the 50th straight season.

Hawks counter with strome, De Haan, and a 2nd for nylander

What Cup do they give out for being bounced in the first round of the playoffs?

Classic leafs fan proposal.

Two pieces we don’t want and a 2nd should be good enough for *Insert very good player here*

Add at least a million to Buch

Could you show some modesty please.

TML haven't won a round in 17 years, just choked 5 years in a row and the "goal scorer of a generation" you identify with had 1 goal in 7 games.

TML and "contender/cup favorites" dont go in the same sentence until they show proofs of beeing able to win ONE elimination game.

Simmer down, thank you and have a great day.

While probably fair value, Rangers don't need another LHD. Especially on an expiring Contract.

Would rather acquire help down the middle with more term.

Stan Bowmen thinks about that trade for exactly 0 seconds

That is exactly my thoughts as a Leafs fan. I've lost all faith in this team. Until they prove it any talk of them being a contender let alone a favourite is ridiculous.

chicago declines

people really gotta let Kadri go

i just love this "choked 5 years in a row" nonsense. Are we pretending that they choked by taking significantly better teams to 7 games 3 years in a row while still rebuilding?

They are chokers, lack leadership, can't show up for big games; you are disillusioned to think otherwise...stop being such a homer

Typical Leaf fan proposal thinking you'd get Kubalik for that. How about Zadarov for William Nylander?

thanks for reading the comment at all.
and it's amazing how the leafs added all this leadership and yet they still dont have leadership, why is it your default to call someone a homer when they point out someone using flawed logic? I bet it's because your a homer. or something.

I will give you the first 2 years. So only 3 years in a row of total meltdowns in 1st rounds /qualifying round... You just find positive where you can I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

no, two years they had 'total meltdowns' if you wanna get all into it. 3 years ago they lost to a superior team with the best line in hockey in 7 games.

Ok, whatever dude. 2 years of total meltdowns it is. Bravo.

yeah, it's almost like you were making it a point to be as negative as possible for some reason. Bravo indeed

I read all the comments. Did you ever stop and think the Leafs didn't bring in the right leadership or that Matthews might not be a great leader? You are a homer when you don't realize the Leafs are playing in the weakest division this year and Matthews has 1 goal in 7 games and Marner 4 points 0 goals in 7 games. When your two "elite superstars" don't show up for big games, time to start rethinking the terms elite and superstar. Rinse and repeat every year for the last 5 years with some of you Leaf fans; this team is not built for playoff hockey.
