The Leafs must have read My post... re: "between the ears"
Joe T. is a passionate hockey player... a rock... God help the kids who don't follow his lead... He changes things "In the Room"...
Brodie is a nice addition and does add to the Leafs back end...
I would agree with you... our last conversation was without these additions and these are great pickups...
The Leafs are now solidly in the playoff discussion...
Re: "which would you rather have"...
I am excited about Sandheim and Heinola coming on board... you did not list them... and I think you are underestimating a healthy Forbort's role and ability... as long as he is completely healthy... a flier move by Chevy for sure...
Outside of Reilly... and I agree he is better than every Jets D'... but our guys have upside... I would rather have our group... young ... with upside and salary flexibility and control...
The Jets forward cohort I think is as talented as the Leafs and definitely more seasoned... but unfortunately saddled with old school systems and predictable and passive special teams...
Reality is a bitch... Toronto is in win now mode... the Jets are re-tooling for the long term while avoiding crippling cap issues...
The Leafs are not Stanley Cup material yet... last years implosion was due to youthful arrogance I am certain... and there is no certainty that it won't repeat again...
The Jets have made good moves to prepare for the future.... and I think Chevy still has "something" pending...
The Leafs are improved with their moves... doesn't make them All World...
Besides I still hold to My prejudice... Jets or any other team above the Leafs is a great thing in My world...
I am looking forward to the restart of the NHL... intriguing plot lines...
