You know what else is all on management? Bringing a team from the basement to playoff contention 2 straight years and getting better as they go. But sure, we can take this one loss and assume the management has blown it.
Highly doubt it

Does anyone else feel kinda bored of hockey lately? I had some hope that we would maybe catch Boston but I think our place in the standings is pretty much set in stone. And without Matthews this lineup seems to be geared to play a defensive style currently that's not really fun to watch. The bruins game was awesome but after Nylander got schooled against Tampa he pulled him away from playing C.
Just bring on the playoffs at this point please

We can only hope that management knows something we don’t-that they’re confident they can re-sign him for a home town discount.
Short of coming very close to a cup, or winning it, losing him for nothing is insanity, doesn’t matter how good the up and comers are. If we go out in round 1 and he doesn’t re-sign, I’d be demanding some answers.

You get JVR for this years playoffs and count on the organizational depth to fill his spot at a much lower cap hit next year.
The asset is the cap space. Depends how you view that I guess.

lol yeah Leivo is clearly the problem when we need some goals. Moore is definite going to score here like Komarov did when he was promoted with Brownie benched lol
Leafs are gonna end up finishing 3rd in the division with Bruins getting home ice and Babcock will continue to ......

Don't know why Kap or Marner aren't given an extended look with Willy.
Hyman - Nylander - Marner
Marleau - Kadri - Kapanen
JvR - Plekanec - Brown
Martin - Bozak - Komarov
Hyman - Nylander - Marner
Marleau - Kadri - Kapanen
JvR - Plekanec - Brown
Martin - Bozak - Komarov

Good thing we got Moore to play wing. Otherwise we might have to resort to something stupid like playing Leivo

Disagree. A 33 year old Rick Nash fetched a 1st++ despite a poor season. It was just a bad call by Lou.

Seemed like both goalies were fighting the puck, Andersen a lot more than Holtby. The lighting was weird, as we can see all the shadows on the TV. Today in the sports section, Kadri talked about the glare from the lights off the ice.
The Leafs look mentally spent. It is a long season and they look worn out, especially Hainsey and Zaitsev.
Just play Nylander at center, maybe that is a spark.
As a winger, he is rather bad at the defensive coverage, such the 4th goal against last night. Might as well put him in center, at least there he'll just head for the front of the net. As a winger, he is unsure at times.
As a winger, Nylander sometimes being the first one back, does not know when to vacate or stay near the slot. Too often, he chooses this way, instead of that way.
Make it simple for him on the defensive coverage. Then push him to be harder.

How many 2nd rounder's has Lou traded away in the last three years.

Bozak was worth a 2nd and JvR was worth a late 1st at the very least. Probably would’ve fetched a 1st + B prospect for the Leafs.

Help is on the way.
This place is getting harder and harder to take with all the BS about our management and coaching. We are in the playoffs two years in a row, please tell me the last time this took place.
We still have our first round draft pick and many other draft picks yet some on here believe we are giving them away like candy.
We have some very good prospects in the AHL as well as else where and many can be used to fill in the holes we need filling as identified in this years up coming playoffs as we will not know to then were we need help.
We do not have a 6th round pick this year but have two seventh round picks. We have picks in every other round.
We also have a lot of spare parts to trade this summer if a deal presents it's self.
We will gain a lot of cap space to resign our RFA and any UFA we want to come here or to resign one of our UFA if we wanted. We are in a great position and people are acting like our management screwed up everything. As for Babcocks coaching: He is well on his way to producing a best ever points in a season as well as most wins in a season and people are acting like he is a dough head.
Get a grip people and enjoy what we are experiencing as well as what the future holds.

Since Lou has drafted 5 players in the second round in the last three years, I am not sure what your question is getting at.
In which you have two prospects where if either one of whom were as good as the worst of the two players you just traded you'd be ecstatic.

It would surprise me. Their record is only slightly better than ours over the past 10 games. To end up with a wild card spot the Leafs would have to fall off a cliff and Florida wouldn't slip at all.
Anything can happen. But even I have more faith in the Leafs than to think they are going to just turn into a garbage team for the rest of the season.
