Alex Petrovic missed pickup who would have...

[GoonieFace]

Oh jeez, are you the president of the Leivo fan club as well?

 

[skacore]

We didn't miss out on much. Save hope for Gudas.

 

[Drew311]

Save your bullets for the big fish, Dubas.

 

[gabeliscious]

We need someone who can bump hainsey to 3rd pairing not someone to fight for spot with oz, marincin and holl.

Petrovic would lose that fight easily.

 

[Voodoo Child]

Petrovic isn't that good: he's a full step down from Zaitsev and a half-step above Ozighanov and he misses a lot of time due to injury/scratching.

And also being that Florida is a divisional rival, we aren't getting him for Chris Wideman (who honestly I would take over Petrovic) and a 3rd. Florida would have asked something like young B prospect (think Engvall or Durzi), a young E prospect (O'Connell or McAdam types) and a pick on top.

We don't need a guy to perhaps challenge Ozighanov, we need a guy to push Zaitsev down.

...which is why after consulting with the oracle, I envision us being heavy players in the Alex Pietrangelo sweepstakes, and I'll part with anyone not named Matthews, Marner, Tavares, Rielly or Andersen with bells on, and I'd really prefer to keep Grundstrom, Dermott and Sandin.

My offer is Nylander + 2nd 2019 + Liljegren...or Kapanen + 1st 2019 + 2nd 2020 + Liljegren for Petro + something small.

 

[Jozay]

Babcocks system isnt built for a guy like petrovik.

Leafs need dmen who can make stretch passes and skate.

 

[A1LeafNation]

We don’t need depth dmen. We need a top 4

 

[Morbo]

Dubas needs to be better...

No, Dubas critics need to up their game quite a bit though.

I'd argue he is a half-step below Oz at this point.. but either way, not a guy you give up any assets for.

 

[zeke]

Sandin - Liljegren
Rosen - Loverde
Borgman - Subban
(Corrado)

Nah, marlies don't need him.

Ozzy has been massively, massively better than Petrovic.

 

[TML1967]

Petrovic is someone I like more than I should, and for most good reason.
Would have been a solid top 4 guy when Hal Gill was a top 4 guy.

Just not built right for today's NHL

 

[WTFMAN99]

The reality is we need someone to play with Rielly, this will bump Hainsey down to the 3rd pairing where he should do better. Trick down effect there would be great for us.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

The way Edmonton is playing he will be back on the market in 6 weeks

 

[thewave]

Let's focus on hockey player rather than friends for Marincin.

 

[JT AM da real deal]

We need someone who can stop opposing forwards from having their way with our net. We can't have OZ missing easy hits like the 1 on 2 turned into a breakaway goal last game. Now that was truly embarrassing.

 

[tmlfan98]

It's okay, Nick Jensen is still out there to be had as a cheap rental and he's way better than Petrovic anyways.

 

[Thread The Needle]

Simple rule of thumb; if Chiarelli wants a player, stay away.

 

[stickty111]

Dubas needs to be better...

Petrovic needs to stop being terrible.

 

[al secord]

This could've been a terrible take and question for the free agent/trade thread.

 

[Joey Hoser]

No, Dubas critics need to up their game quite a bit though.

I don't like the way he adjusts his glasses.

(That one actually happened)
