Id be inclined to keep both Kessel and JVR. Id make the others available. I think they have pretty good value. Lupul will get a good return at the deadline specifically. Bozak should be packaged with perhaps Gardiner or Franson. The team is built with zero toughness. The only tough guys cant play and the guys who can play don't have any edge to them whatsoever. Its not about dropping the gloves. Its not about hitting everything that moves. Its more about not being afraid to win puck battles or take a hit to make a play. Its about being defensively responsible and being aggressive on the forecheck. The Leafs top 6 has none of that. Just a bunch of offensively skilled players that would absolutely dominate a no contact league. Thats really not gonna cut it.

Oh I don't think they waive unless they go together

Kind of depressing that we are in year 6 of the Burke/Nonis accelerated rebuild and we are producing among the worst results.

But then I'm not really surprised because you get what you pay for.

Slapping a bunch of other teams expendables and unwantables together haphazardly and calling it a team and expecting positive results is a foolish build plan.. Haste makes waste.

Funny how we can be sitting a couple points away from where BB ended up after his first season ended.

It's because they can't build a competent team, these idiots are incompetent.

Listen to this, it's gold right here.

They want to build a truculent Burke team but have Ron And Gun Wilson. So they drafted Schenn who is th opposite of that style, go get Komisarek, Beauchemin again a mismatch and srape together some kind of team. So they half built for Ronnie and didn't finish the job, he gets fired Eventually, fine. Then they hire Randy and have some success because of JVR and Kadri plus Reimer and Komarov pretty much, get in the playoffs and get bombed out game 7. Then get rid of some Ronnie guys and get even softer Raymond and clueless Clarkson plus Bolland who makes sense an promptly gets injured. They have no depth or players who drive possession now so with a half Randy and half Ronnie team they are just repeating the same ducking mistake.

They are incompetent clearly if they can not see this.
