Did the Leafs become a better team trading Kadri for Barrie+Kerfoot?

[Suntouchable13]

It was a bad trade, but it was the right idea. You'd be bitching if anybody of consequence got traded, but then how are you supposed to get better? Don't talk like they ran Kadri outta town or shit like that. Criticize Dubas for botching the trade, not that he got rid of Kadri. Good players have to move to get some other good player (s) for the team to get better. It did not work but the idea was fine. Again, Kadri wasn't moved because they just wanted to get rid of him. These players are just assets to me. I am only disappointed that they squandered an asset. That's all. They could trade Matthews tomorrow and if that makes the team better, I don't give a f***.

OH i C 2 mistakes and you are out,,,,well dubass should be longggggg gone then

Mmm,,,,,yes exactly

I wonder what your opinion of Jake Gardiner's body of work in the playoffs is, and if series-changing mistakes factor into what you thought of that player and his future role with the team

Kadri makes Dubass look like a chump more and more day by day

i wanted gardiner gone because he is not the type of Dman this roster needs

soft as butter,all O no D,,pretty gutless actually

Obviously not. The offseason of 2019 looking back gets a D. Dubas failed nearly in every transaction during that offseason.

The Marleau deal with it being 13th overall and us doing the deal in the first place to keep KK and AJ who might be dealt for cap purposes this offseason

Barrie and kerfoot both been incredibly disappointing here. Kadri paced for 60 points and having a great playoffs this year.

Zaitsev deal for Ceci. Looks decent looking back but now the selection of brown fairs poorly with him hecoinign a valuable 3rd liner putting around 50 points pace.

Marners contract obviously been discussed enough for consensus that it was a bad deal paid too much for too little term.

To be fair, you don’t have a single player on the Maple Leafs that wouldn’t be better off or have a better season on the Avalanche.

Colorado is just a better team and a better coached team.

 

[PromisedLand]

How dare Kadri try to fight back against a team bullying us to hell. He'll be fine in Colorado.

Avs look after their teammates and don't back down. Kadri doesn't have to play the "protector" role on the Avs.

Also, it takes serious hockey insight and foresight to know the worth of the player like Kadri, spreadsheets aren't going to cut it

Kadri 2g 1a in a PIVOTAL 2/1 series game

but ya the trade was a wake up call

 

[capfit9]

Dubass should be fired for this trade, it shows his lack of judgement

 

[Faltorvo]

LMFAO the poll is 62 nay,,,2 yay

 

[HarryLime]

Dubas is a dumbass

 

[lottster14]

Dubas traded a need for a don't-need.

I'm sure this happens to every franchise but it's getting annoying every year watching ex-Leafs contribute to deep playoff runs.

In his eyes, he traded a don't need for a need.

His vision is completely skewed and he's now in the territory of insulting leaf fans who suggest trading marner. He's defending himself to the ends of the earth and going against the fans now.

He's garbage

I want this team to win, its pretty obvious Dubas is not getting the job done...

People who care about their own players and do exceptional, different things for our club than any other players, are getting traded. That's fun. That's funny. And wrong at the same time. Who does that?

Not other clubs. They thug that thang up HARD.

We soft dolls.

 

[BodaciousBeefBazooka]

Loved Kadri. Feisty, competitive, edgy....he had spurts of laziness but more pros then cons and brought a certain swag and energy on the ice that the team lacks. Team are much of selfish pansies at the moment.

 

[Anthrax442]

On paper it was a great trade. In Actuality Barrie just didnt work out.

 

[All Mod Cons]

Kadri, unsurprisingly, is on fire. Playing great.

 

[saffronleaf]

Kadri with an incredible game. What a warrior. Hopefully soon to be champion!

 

[PromisedLand]

Look at Avs everyone standing up for Makar after Crouse ran Makar into the boards; even Mack got into it; Kadri doesn't have to play "he-man"; and he can play hockey

 

[saffronleaf]

3 people voted yes. I'm guessing Dubas, Barrie & Kerfoot

I think this thread has run its course.
