Mark Giordano would be a great add, I hope Dubas finds a way to bring him in

Making what up? The Rielly got hit part?

only if you add a 7th in 2042

literally anything you say about toughness is made up

Literally no one stood up to the Ranger that hit Rielly

3 way trade can make it happen

Costs 1.6875mill

no, it really isnt. And Dubas has actually done really well on trades. The Muzzin trade, the campbell trade, the Kapanen trade, Ziatsev trade.

literally wouldnt have made any difference

It would send a message that the Leafs won't be pushed around that easily, not just for the game but to the entire league. The TNT broadcast even pointed it out that the Leafs had no intentions of making Ryan Reaves angry

There you go making stuff up again. the leafs have fought and hit so many times and still lost and still no 'message' was sent and yet you keep banging on about it like it's fool proof,
lol the TNT broadcast, good one

When have the Leafs fought and hit in this game? Rangers were throwing their weight around all game with high pressure forechecks to the Leafs defense

and yet the leafs lost because their goaltending wasnt good and they were missing their entire 2nd defensive pairing. not because of toughness fairy dust

My boy you really are some weirdo. Do you have it set in your mind that GMs of NHL hockey teams are fanboys like you? Lol you think Lou got to where he is by holding a grudge with teams he has worked for? So much so that he will not make deals with that team? You are aware he already has made a trade with the leafs?

This is like the 5th time I have seen you comment about how Lou literally would not do a trade with the leafs because of how they"treated" him. Kiss the wall-size Lou picture in your bedroom and go to sleep my boy.

More than that. I doubt they move him at all but if they do its going to be for a savard/chiarot type return (a 1st)

The thing is when your the only guy hitting or fighting it gets hard to keep that style up when you feel nobody has your back. The leafs role players are the softest in the league and in a playoff series never ware down the other team. Kerfoot, Engvall, Spezza, Kampf, Mikheyev, Bunting don't ever give out bone crushing checks and Simmonds might once every 10 games. Sandin probably leads the d-men in hits and Muzzin might through a big hit once a month but the other guys couldn't break a pain of glass.

No one is paying a first for him

So what does it say about the Rangers? They played hard, physical, pressurized the Leafs defense and won while the Leafs didn't do the same

They got goaltending and are a very skilled team. Thsts what it says

No, they were playing physical and hard. Physicality wins playoff hockey, not skill

no, they were more skilled and had better goaltending.
It's really that simple.

He made a trade with them three days after Tavares signed. Matt Martin for Eamon McAdam.

Very nice then i doubt he moves. All his comparables got (or will get in chiarots case) a 1st so idk why he wouldnt.

Chiarot shouldn't be getting a first either

Shouldnt and wont are 2 very differemt things
