Quoting: palhal
I didn't say he was bad, but why is there such a belief Leafs are so desperate on defence Shouldn't contenders that have worse defence than the Leafs be in the acquiring Dmen. Sorry all these Charitot to Leafs and Rangers are getting redundant and silly. Shouldn't about 15 other teams be in on the action?
I don't know how having Chariot on the Leafs last season would have the Leafs defence better
I'm just poking fun. Half of my friends/relatives are Leafs fans, so we usually have a back and forth going. No hate, just jabs.
I think the idea is defense helps the goaltending, because that's going to be more difficult to address. You have to move one out, whereas you can just add another D.
As for Chiarot, he just returned to the lineup. Need to make sure he's 100%. More of a TDL move anyway.
Every GM has a lot of irons in the fire to sort through. It's not unusual for them to take their time.
When you're spending a significant asset (like a 1st) you want to see the whole market and make your decision with the most up to date information, so it makes more sense to wait for the deadline.
