Yeah there’s less than a 1% chance he becomes a top dman. I think he could be an effective 4DI don’t know about a top d man but I see top 4 for sure

As bad as this trade is, keeping McDonagh and signing him to an 8 year $7 million AAV (Vlasic) would have been an even bigger mistake.
And I'm not just saying this because we traded him. I got into some pretty heated discussions on our board over the summer regarding them thinking McDonagh was a top 10 defensemen in the league and said the same things then I'll say now.
McDonagh is living hard off the reputation he earned with his play in 2012-2014. He looked like a sure fire perennial Norris contender. But we haven't seen anything close to that McDonagh since. I actually miss that McDonagh dearly.
He also was always hurt come playoff time for a reason. 2014 shoulder injury. 2015 broken foot. 2016 broken hand.

Bump. It's shocking how much McDonagh has fallen off compared to his 2014 Mac ****ing truck heyday
Wait, what happened to the whole McDonagh would have put the Leafs over the top narrative?
Well, there's always next year to get that second round pick bumped up to a first.
Why is it shocking? A player who was playing at elite levels was run into the ground was carrying around a slow footed aging dman in girardi (hello Keith/Seabrook)Bump. It's shocking how much McDonagh has fallen off compared to his 2014 Mac ****ing truck heyday
No no no no no, the leafs looked fantastic with that D.Maybe not McDonagh but the Leafs could have desperately used a big upgrade on the blue line.
Ok, time to come clean: which one of you is this guy?
Hoping we trade McD for assets and then flip said assets along with Sergachev and other pieces to get Erik Karlsson.
I think TB will be all in to get him at the draft / off season now. Vegas will cool off pursuing him, especially if they win a cup here without him.

Glass houses and all that...No no no no no, the leafs looked fantastic with that D.
and then if they didn't win we'd have the same bump. Tampa Bay made a big push and came very close - sucks it didn't work out, but it didn't work out for 30 teams this year. Not sure how people are holding this against the Lighting. You won't win if you don't try.Should have ponied up for Karlsson.
Didn't you hear? Tampa Bay lost! That means McDonagh's value dropped to being less than what the Rangers received now. Tampa couldn't score for 2 games straight but at least we can blame "passionless" McDonagh for not helping Tampa!Wait, what happened to the whole McDonagh would have put the Leafs over the top narrative?
