If you think gusto is better than mikkola then we don't have much to debate. Also, there will come a time that gusto will make people overlook Schneider's brain cramps w the puck. All this is is shiney new toy.
I give you credit for doing a libero on Gustafsson but why couldnt you on Tarasenko and Kane to warn us that they were hurrrrrrrrting. Not hurting....Hurrrrrrrrting.
I never wanted Kane here at all. In both instances they needed motor type players. 10/10 I would've taken barbs over either of them based on our roster and player type needs. We still have no grit in the top 9, no heavy forecheck type players, no crease crashers. We have don't nothing to adjust what we are. Unless lavy can waive a wand and make a bunch of vets change how they play we will be more of the same shit as last year.
Out of the Leafs D options in the playoffs, who would you have dressed in a do or die game?
And yet you still complain about cheap veteran quality depth.
The leafs decided to pay more for Klingberg than they did for gusto after having him for a few months and barely dressing him in the playoffs.
Bc gusto isn't a stable NHL d man at this point.
You didn't answer my question. I was testing you. You seem unhinged. Good day.
The leafs make all the right decisions? LOL. And Jones and Harpur are stable NHL Dmen? Depth and options are a good thing.
Bullshit. We have Laf, Kakko, Kreider, Trocheck, and now Wheeler with some grit and can play a north-south game. Whether they do it enough is questionable but they can certainly bring that element to their game.
He is not easily the 5th beat d man on this team. I don't hate the signing, I think it's laughable bc a week ago everyone here was celebrating the Jones signing bc he was going to be in the top 6, hell, how many people were saying miller with Fox, Jones w trouba and Lindgren traded again. Then they sign a shiney new toy who is a muffin in front of the net and everyone thinks he's some great add. It's just funny.
Leafs, caps, flyers, hawks, habs, flames
well you quoted me directly, which is confusing bc I'm not everyone nor have I said any of those things about Jones.
And again Jones and Harpur are proven NHL Dmen? It's a cheap depth signing of a 6/7 type guy than can run PP2. There is nothing to complain about.
Yes bc the guys you listed are really hard to play against, lord knows they really wore the devils down and showed it last year. Trouba had more grit tossing his f***ing helmet than that lost of players did in 6 playoff games. Kreider was excellent on the pp but otherwise meh, trocheck was awful, and even bringing up kakko or laffy is laughable.
