They also traded Redmond early this year... but also acquired Cracknell
The irony here is staggering considering Toronto fans were putting dermott in the norris conversation after he showed be could play 13 minutes a night competently.
Juulsen is playing fantastic and the notion that he was a bad pick or will only become a spare d at best is laughably stupid.
I saw that Valiev got called up by the Habs. Is one of the main guys injured and will he get an opportunity?
things are pretty dire when the dman that was 12th on the leafs depth chart is playing for the habs
the over-exaggeration here is beyond stupid. Leafs fans were saying Dermott was one of the better young dmen in the league (which he clearly is). but I guess you wanna compare guys now eh?
Dermott:
2g/16a/18pts/+15 in 28 AHL games
1g/8a/9pts/+10 in 24 NHL games
Juulsen:
1g/5a/6pts/-9 in 31 AHL games
1g/0a/1pts/+3 in 6 NHL games
at this point its dermott AINEC. leafs smartly didnt waste a 1st rd pick at that slot either, they moved back and got a 2nd (Bracco) and 3rd (Dzierkals) to grab the dman thats better than the guy used their 1st on.
habs are awful because they are bad at drafting and even worse at trading. you deserve that team brah
How is this thread 39 pages???
I think people are forgetting to factor in the prices paid during this trade deadline. Vanek cost VGK a 1,2,3 rounder
I mean if a 2nd round pick for a 4th liner is highway robbery, that is some very small minded thinking. We pretty much gave them away as a favour .....

And Montreal was smart to get a better defenseman than Dermott with a 4th round pick the next year!
Plekanec was never a goalscorer. Fans were hoping for a third rd pick up until the deadline when they realized they could get more. He slowed down, hasn't played very well and is getting long in the tooth but since he plays Center he fills a void with a playoff team.
That was the take before the trade.
Mete was rushed? Since when? Kid’s been our best defender in many games this season.Don't know why you're bringing that up which is debatable btw because its looking like Mete has been rushed. But no matter what other moves the Leafs did during that draft, they were pretty clearly the winners of Mete's draft year.

How on earth is it looking like Mete's been rushed? He's been their most consistent defender for the time he's been in the NHL and was released to go play in the World Jr's to continue his development.
There's zero evidence of what you claim. What are you talking about?

We'll see how his development goes from here but being brought up on a struggling team and mediocre defense and being brought up to play with Weber aren't good signs for patient development. Typically, players who are rushed have a good first year. Luke Schenn did too. We'll see where it goes from here.
Definitely hindered his development. Although he wasn't just thrown to the wolves on the top line with Phanuef.Also known as the Morgan Rielly method

I think he'll come around soon enough. Probably still adjusting. I'd imagine it would be a bit awkward at first. When it comes to crunch I'm confident he'll pull through for youPlekanec hasn’t looked great so far with the Leafs but there is probably a lot going on right now.
New team, new city, new role (with matthews out) and weird games like the Stadium Series haven’t helped.
Hopefully we can find the right niche for him and better integrate him down the stretch
