LeBrun: Leafs AGM scouted Rangers - Hurricanes

[Pi]

Stand pat, lose in the first round and fire Babcock. No point getting any assets when the guy behind the bench won't play them.

 

[StephenPeat]

A lot of nights you would notice.

How many goals they were allowing?

 

[Leaf Fans]

Can you find an article not on microfiche that confirms that?

That doesn't make any sense.

Then hire Quenneville and it will be great

 

[Leaf Fans]

How many goals they were allowing?

Yes, 0,2,once in a while three. You can tell that with every defence.

 

[StephenPeat]

That doesn't make any sense.

I am certain there are no articles in print or digital about how the Leafs RECENTLY won any Cups.

 

[Leaf Fans]

No, the last time we won the Cup was in 1967.

 

[The S5]

settle down cane fan the season isn't over yet and yes with all this talent, and the canes with all those all star defenceman as your fans put it how come they are not higher in the standings..

That is interesting since it isn't Canes fans over hyping our players. Yes, we think Pesce is a very good defender on a great contract. We aren't claiming "elite" talent. We aren't pushing unproven players for proven vets who are objectively better players.
Give it a rest.

 

[LakeLivin]

How is this thread still open? Is there a mod beer league game currently taking place, lol?

 

[Roboturner913]

Can't believe a team that has all that talent is only 4 points away from our anemic offense, mediocre defense and tandem of backups.

I thought the vulnerable teams to steal the playoff spot from were Montreal, Pittsburgh and Columbus. Time to add Toronto to the hit list

we comin'

 

[GIN ANTONIC]

I guess we can thank Toronto for beating MTL last night but it’s time to shit this down

 

[Deadly Dogma]

I guess we can thank Toronto for beating MTL last night but it’s time to **** this down

just wait till the TVR for Brown trade goes down, we will get weeks of arguing who won the trade lol

 

[Liferleafer]

You're welcome....no back to Pesce....

 

[sd1976]

You missed where the Rangers are rebuilding.

My response had nothing to do with the rebuild or whether or not Kadri would fit the rebuild. It had to do with mislabeling a very good player that is proven 30/30.

 

[sd1976]

Nazem Kadri is just about 30, and you're arguing the Rangers - a rebuilding team stockpiling assets - should trade a younger Chris Kreider for him and a mid round pick?

Yeah, hard pass.

Again, I was arguing nothing of the sort. Check context and get back to me.

 

[Brock Radunske]

I dont know if McQuaid will be worth the roster spot.

 

[Team Cozens]

Marc Savard said on Friday (1050am) that the Leafs were looking into a forward and a D from the same team.
What would you prefer cost aside:

Pescue/Ferland or McQuaid/Krieder

I’d be absolutely floored if CAR is considering any offer for Pesce right now. I think you can effectively cross him off your wishlist.

Maybe they’re looking at TVR plus Ferland or Hamilton plus Ferland. With the way Faulk and Peace have been playing and the team in playoff position this late in the season, I highly doubt they move any D prior to the draft other than TVR or Hamilton.

I'd take the first set.
Sure, Kreider>>Ferland but the difference between McQuaid and Pesce is almost immeasurable.

True... guess it might be more of a Hamilton/Ferland as well.

Carolina was expected to be a non-playoff seller so it's hard to tell what they will do. Same with the Blues who were a tire fire a couple of months ago.

 

[Judas Tavares]

Reasons why people may not like Pesce:

• They have not heard of him
• They have heard of him, but haven't seen him play
• He's not a ppg guy, so he must be trash
• His last name reminds people of one of the wet/sticky bandits. Who wants someone that is short, round and clumsy?

The team has given up just 30 goals in the 15 games since Brind'Amour rearranged the defense.

Nothing is going to happen over the next 27 hours or so with the blueline, Hamilton and TvR included.

no chance on TVR?

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

no chance on TVR?

I think the problem with moving TVR right now, is that the return won't be good enough to probably justify the move. What is he going to get in return, a 2nd round pick maybe? The Canes already have two 2nd round picks and probably would rather keep the stability they have right now as they push for the playoffs vs. gaining another pick.

It's not that TVR is that great or irreplaceable, just not seeing a lot of sense to it right now. Off-season is when I'd expect maybe TVR + one other RHD gets moved (not in the same deal).

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

no chance on TVR?

Pesce - Faulk has been beastly. That pairing should be maintained. Trade TvR and either de Haan and/or Fleury will have to play their off-side or the team will have to rely on a very inexperienced McKeown to eat minutes in the midst of a legit playoff race.

I don't see it anymore. The Canes have the prospect and draft pick depth to add up front without subtracting, if they choose to do so.
