Huh?Are our cupboards that well stocked that we don't need to make any TDL trades?
Who steps in if Hainsey gets injured?
(In no way am I saying that Hainsey is Bobby Orr and elite FYI).
We'll see how this plays out.
I was never satisfied with our 4th line, so I'll credit Dubas for tinkering there. Yes I know he got Muzzin a month ago, but did that satisfy? I don't think so
Not when he's down in the AHL. It would have required Dubas moving someone down to the AHL and bringing up Moore.
He received 4th line minutes.He produced under 20 points in about 110 games. Not sure what he wanted?
no, nobody had to be sent down.
no, nobody had to be sent down.
No, just a fan base that dwarfs all others.625 posts. Clearly a fan base desperate for any TDL action.
By whom? I'd really like to know why the bolded are considered better. Specifically, what makes those teams better than the Leafs today? The Leafs are 2 points out of third overall, and 1 point out of second in the division. That's splitting hairs IMO.
Plus, you pointed out where they currently sit in the standings as a reason to say the Leafs aren't the second best team, yet bafflingly referenced 2 teams LOWER in the standings as "considered objectively better." Maybe the Leafs are actually objectively better than 3 of the teams ahead of them?
Can't play both sides of the argument here.
I agree with Zeke, in my estimation this team right now is the second best team in the league. Winnipeg and Nashville can't even make hay in a very weak Western Conference.

Why would Dubas acquire him if that weren't the case?.
Lindholm was dime a dozen! We have just witnessed some very nice asset management and cap management to a degree.
Petan is a darkhorse depending onnthe opportunity he gets. Developing players are fun to follow. This guy will come sround and gain some confidence hopefully because he is very talented skills wise.
I couldn't stand Lindholm so some bias on my part. Just didn't like what he brought and was ultra passive
Leafs are the 2nd best team in hockey.
Exactly, this was my first thought. Petan will replace Ennis next season when Ennis doubles his salary with another team.Part of Dubas' ongoing plan to keep the team competitive year-in and year-out...when Ennis leaves because he wants more money, Petan will come in and fill his spot for cheap.
I hope or Petan won't be playing for us this yearPetan hasn't played in a couple months. Can we give him a conditioning stint with the Marlies?
How long could they send him there for? Marlies play four of their next six at home.
wasn't Carcone going to fill Ennis' spot when we traded for him ?Part of Dubas' ongoing plan to keep the team competitive year-in and year-out...when Ennis leaves because he wants more money, Petan will come in and fill his spot for cheap.
That video with Petan was kind of strange when a reporter asked Dubas about Marner's contract. Dubas very sharply said "No Comment!" and turned abruptly away from the media person.
Was he mad at the media guy for something or is the Marner camp giving him grief. He did not answer "No".

anyway , plenty of midget options in our system to take over for Ennis next year

Cool beans. I think we all have our opinions. I'm hoping we are ALL wrong and end up #1.I posted that first thing when I woke up in the morning I meant Subjectively not objectively. reading your post now I see the mistake.
funny how this board used to laugh at Montreal when they were loaded with smurfs but now that we keep adding them all of sudden they've become the way to win , lolAnd midgets can't win? Look at your mind, you think you are winning.
