Leafs accept if they can't do anything bigger.

My thought was they won’t part with the 1st CGY wants for Tanev so they spend less to get Mayfield who will still accomplish some of what they want

Agree 100%. Leafs aren't moving the 1st unless they get guys with term.

Calgary has no interest in Wahlstrom, package up your 1st if you want a retained Tanev

No they don't. Mayfield has hit the wall this year. Don't know who he replaces to make the Leafs better this year. Six full seasons for this 31 year Mayfield....no thanks

I was not aware he had 6 years, thats brutal.

It's a common mistake on CF. Folks remember players "for what they were". For some players the wall hits quickly. Yeah, and that contract, teams just shouldn't do it at that age.
Leafs two Marlie Dmen on emergency call up sure looked good today.

Contracts brutal

Guys third pair

And while he fits the Brad mold we dont need third pair guys making that much rn

Gee, those two Marlies Dmen today looked quite good. About 25 years old and looked quite nimble. Who needs Reilly, Giordano or even the 7th and 8th Dmen Timmins and Lagesson.
Liking Holmberg more and more too.

I temper expectations for that long term as Leafs Dman always seem to step up when the big guys are out

I remember last year how a Dcore of

Gio-Holl
Sandin-Liligren
Mete-Hollowell

Did good when Brodie and Rielly were hurt

While its been a good stretch this blue line needs some help especially come playoffs. Will be interesting to see who comes

As the VGK mold of a Dcore aint a bad thing to mimic

If it was a rental deal and there was nothing better out there I honestly don't mind it. While the Leafs AHL Dmen looked good today they cannot expect to have that going into playoffs.
