LeBrun: "The Leafs are phoning around looking at defensemen on PTOs"

[Ianturnedbull]

TSN -Overdrive Hour 3

Apparently they also mentioned it on Insider Trading.

Ok this is no surprise. Toronto's plans for their top 6 is totally off the rails due to Muzzin's health, Liljegren's surgery, Benn's injury, Sandin's recent hold out, etc.

Who should Toronto aim to go after?

Who's the most interesting D-man on a PTO right now?

The Leafs' defense is one of the best in hockey and currently has one injury.

Ultra Boy?

Danny "Soze" DeKeyser has looked meh with his PTO on the Canucks.

 

[notbias]

AHL depth is the hope I assume, the top 6 is set currently.

If you throw a bunch of guys on waivers at the same time, they won't all get claimed... right?

 

[Ianturnedbull]

This is untrue.

 

[zeke]

This is untrue.

If by untrue you mean true.

 

[cup67]

The only RH Dman out there is Starlman ,, he would be a good 8th or 9th dman

 

[TheKrebsCycle]

Sandin signing plugs one of those holes They should be fine , don't see much available

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Sounds like they need Stanley Cup champion Jack Johnson.



Also did I really just read a Leafs fan suggest Toronto has one of the best Defense's in the NHL? That group of fans

 

[Ianturnedbull]

Despite your propaganda, I would hope Dubas is doing this as part of the day-to-day due diligence of an NHL general manager. The other night Kerfoot and Jarnkrok played Defence for 2 periods. Now you're going to tell me: "no problem. Nothing to see here.".


No way

You realize that jarnkrok and kerfoot played defense because two (ahl) dmen got injured, right?

Sounds like they need Stanley Cup champion Jack Johnson.

It wasn't a suggestion, just an obvious observation.

 

[TMLeafer]

I heard this live and pretty sure he said "they were" phoning, i.e. during the game when they lost 2 dmen and Sandin was not signed. It was in reference to Sandin re-signing being very timely. That's how I took it anyway.

Their defense looks pretty good too me. On paper it would have to be up there.

 

[HockeyVirus]

Once again we are going to pretend this is for anything other than to fill bodies for pre-season games?

 

[Heldig]

Is it really even top 10? The TEAM did well defensively in large part because of the fantastic forward core...

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

You think a Defense lead by Morgan Rielly looks good on paper? A defense that also includes Justin Holl, Mark Giordano, and TJ Brodie?


Sorry @ACC1224 unfortunately I do believe it is fans, plural.

 

[GirardSpinorama]

Very desperate. As expected out of a defence core that has 2 proven good dman that aren't completely past their prime in Brodie and Reilly.

 

[RebuildinVan]

Danny "Soze" DeKeyser has looked meh with his PTO on the Canucks.

Havent watched him myself but according to people who have meh is being generous

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

Marner I thought

I thought that forward core was 4 overrated overpaid choking stars and zero depth?

 

[CanHeDoIt99]

Fair point, it is just one delusional poster in this thread.

Muzzin Rielly
Giordano Brodie
Sandin Liljegren
Holl

1-7 they're quite good. They don't have a superstar (Makar, Hedman type) - but when Justin Holl is your 7th D, you're doing quite good I think.
