I suppose I'll answer your question with different questions:

1) <strong>What's the point of making any Armchair GM team at all?</strong> (Do you think Kyle Dubas will take notice and get it done for you?)
2) <strong>What's actually contributed by better Armchair GM teams?</strong> (Do you think two fan bases have ever 100% agreed on a proposal?)
3) <strong>What's the point in worrying about what others think of you?</strong> (Do you think people's negative feelings are actually due to dumb fans?)
4) <strong>What's the issue with making a team that's clearly impossible?</strong> (Do you worry someone will take it serious and start ripping their hair out?)

I can make the following statements with 100% certainty:

1) <strong>People dislike the Leafs because the media shoves them down everyone's throat, especially in Canada</strong> (imagine being stuck with TSN / SN as a Sens fan).
2) <strong>The excess attention creates a cognitive dissonance in everyone exposed to it</strong> (assuming they aren't Leafs fans and would prefer coverage of their own team).
3) <strong>This dissonance applies to the vast majority of non-Leaf fans you encounter online</strong> (if they patrol hockey sites / forums, they likely watch hockey related media).
4) <strong>It makes them inherently dislike / disagree with any Leaf fan discussions or positive fan content</strong> (some are conscious of their internal bias, but many are not).
5) <strong>The problem is amplified because there's more Leaf fans posting online than other fan bases</strong> (they can't attack the media, but they sure can attack online users).
6)<strong> End result = an army with the one mindset: all Leaf fans are dumb, Leaf players are over-hyped, Leaf content should be trolled</strong> (you can't change their mind).

So get used to it ... Leaf fans are equally as stupid as the rest ... but even their most reasonable opinions and proposals will be attacked by a majority of the community.

And that will never change by the slightest margin .. no matter how much you work to change peoples "views of the fan base".

<strong>But to answer your question ... "What’s the point in this thread?" ... I did it for fun my dude ... What are you here for? </strong>

i don't think these trades really help MTL at all. I mean...first of all you're trading Poehling after 1 NHL game (which he scored THREE GOALS AND A SHOOTOUT GOAL), and our 1st rounder and a 3rd. MB already said hes not giving away future pieces. Sure Byram would be nice but not for that price.

The 2nd trade is equally as bad. Juulsen has shown great potential to be top-4 guy once Petry/Weber is gone. The eye injury is a non-factor because they already said its no longer an issue and hes 100%. Romanov has shown he can play in the NHL already and MB has publicly said that. Best D-man in the WJC. Also, two 2nd round picks? Let me remind you of some prospects and players that have been taken in the 2nd round...Brooks, Romanov, Ylonen, Lehkonen...

Now for the Connolly contract. 5mil for 5 years. Career high 46 points. People think the Nelson contract is bad, imagine MB actually did this? its just terrible.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jay27</b></div><div>No one unless the right deal comes along. Nothing wrong with Poehling and Suzuki playing a year in the AHL. Need to make room for them next offseason? Then that's an issue for MB next offseason.</div></div>

That's the exact approach they'll take. Poehling (as good as he was in his debut with a hat trick) just came out of the NCAA. Some time in the AHL to adjust to the pro game isn't a bad thing. Suzuki has looked good in the OHL but could stand to make some improvements defensively and add some weight. AHL time allows him to break in slow, there's no need to rush either guy when Montreal already has guys under contract to fill the role they would. If Poehling or Suzuki can't play consistent top 9 minutes in Montreal, have them play top 6 minutes in Laval to develop more. Sitting on the 4th line does nothing for them and that's why Nate Thompson was re-signed for next year

Hahah thats funny.......... You clearly weren't here two months ago.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DirtyDangles</b></div><div>Drouin needs to play with high end talent and finishers. Montreal currently lacks this.</div></div>

Nope, has nothing to do with that DD honestly.

He needs kill the big boogie man living in his head that tells him <em>"Don't worry....you don't need to give 110%, someone else will do it for you"</em> and <em>"I got a great idea! Your team is doing a line change so i think this is a great time to try and dangle through 5 players, the coach won't mind, believe me."</em>.

Once he kills that SOB, he'll be back to the old Drouin who hustled as much as he has skill.
