@GMcMatthews72 We need to stop thinking our teams trade is good enough just because we want him. Literally every trade I see is 1st danford + a salary dump and fans think it should be accepted other teams can’t easily beat it out
@GMcMatthews72@mitts_marner Not enough. The 1st will be a mid-late 20’s, danford is unproven and OEL is an aging Dman that might not even start on a Canes Dcore. Also if you take in 9M, 9M has to go out. OEL makes like 4M. They don’t want our overpaid players.
@mrssdtcc@TOMapleJays22 That’s a common take from fans but I am very against moving Cowan and messing with the 1st line just to get someone else going, even McKenna. Cowan earned that spot. The D zone and goaltending are what’s costing this team games.
@mrssdtcc@TOMapleJays22 McKenna and Nylander should NOT play together unless they are down late in a game and need to totally disregard defense for a goal.
@joeyferg Going to get better if Marchy can come back and the team can limit injuries of their top players. I know many fans want him on a better line but they should not break up that 1st line and McKenna/Nylander shouldn’t play together so it is what it is right now.
@CorsiHL I don’t think their record is much better with Woll but in terms of the financial part of it, it doesn’t look good. I don’t have a problem with any of the other signings. If news came out leafs could have had Raddysh and said no due to $, most fans would have been unhappy.
@SammyT_51 Philly hasn’t been as bad this season only because Toronto scores a lot more. In terms of goalie stats, you got to look at defense and you can make a case the leafs have been worse in front of Bob than Philly with woll. Last night a good example.
@amato_mike Nylander had a solid start to the season so I wouldn’t describe the last few weeks as a season fall off in general. He could score 5 in his next 5 games and we would say “he’s back”. Let’s be honest, fully healthy fans had optimism but with injuries brings out the team flaws
@joshnoris1@SportsDataQuest@KPapetti Exactly. We already know they can’t really rebuild right now even if they wanted to because they have no 1sts. You can’t give up anymore.
@PuckReportNHL I think that was just something on top of already thinking of leaving. Just be honest and say you prefer to play elsewhere regardless of that
@reporterchris To each their own but I do find it a bit strange that you wouldn’t disclose this to the team at the time and take any support from them. Seems when it happened it was just a reason to leave when you already thinking about it
