As long as we keep our 1st rounder this year, I don't care how it goes, I just want playoffs or complete freefall, no in between.
Oh dear lord, not another "set this franchise back" post. People say that crap far too oftena year ago we signed the top free agent, a third liner, to a deal with 5M a year until he's bought out.
i'm not against being patient if that's what this is. but Nonis deserves to be taken to task for preaching the exact opposite approach to the one he took last summer when he set this team back another few years at least with silly deals for bit part veteran winners that were meant to improve an already improving team that would also of course improve by virtue of subtracting the non-winners Macarthur and Grabovski.
it's patience espoused by the front office that had a destructively impulsive offseason last summer.

Im glad the leafs only tinkered. The contracts given out this year were ludicrous

You need to realize why they do it. I have a hypothesis. It goes like this.
Headline in TO newspapers:
"Leafs win the Cup"
UN investigating crime as 14, 984, 383 died waiting in vain. Called it worse sporticide since Roman Coliseum. Kafar El Hab states, "it says it all when parades are planned yearly and cancelled by Christmas, as if to say kids, Santa hates you, and so do the Leafs". When asked for his incite, Steve Simmons, who exposed the crime against Leaf fans daily, had this to say, "**** all y'all, click my site, *****es". He seems too upset to speak really. Another reporter, "Mirtle", states Corsi could have saved them. We haven't found Corsi yet, and are doubting "Mirtle" is his real name. Canadien's GM Marc bergeron screamed, almost incoherently, "they burn boats. We need boats. L'arrest, L'arrest. Beside himself at the atrocity we suspect. News at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12, and on the 30's, forever.
So the leafs go out and spend big in other years and everyone cries "let the kids play"
this year the leafs go out and fill in some much needed holes and don't overspend and everyone in the media cries "we're a rich team spend more money"
sounds like the Toronto media just likes to complain no matter what the leafs do.

Finally doing the right thing
Finally doing the right thing, after signing so many UFA's at ridiculous salaries and them under achieve consistently.
Shanny is rebuilding the rebuild and not following previous regrettable mistakes.
He is filling holes and needs at affordable prices on short term deals to gauge success and not going off the deep end mortgaging the future or painting the team into a corner with long-term deals.
These are the types of moves Leafs should have been making from the beginning and focusing heavy on building through draft.
Doom and gloom every year, why bother being here if everything is just so awful for you?yeah especially when you consider how much the Leafs have improved year in year out
Love this offseason for Nonis. Our team is so much more harder to play against today. We're a team with piss and vinegar again.
Really looking forward to next season, and to think, I started to question Shanahan and Nonis.
what exactly impresses you about this team re-tooling the third and fourth line?
i'm almost 100% sure that our depth players were not the reason we finished 8th last this past season...
if the answer to this team's woes were adding a few scrap pieces, what was the reason for not doing it at the deadline this spring?
Clearly nonis has no problem parting with 2nd-7th round picks...which is exactly what these guys we picked up are worth.
lmao !!!!!!!!!
What's to dispute here?
It was McClement's fault he didn't score 40 goals?
Rielly should have won the Norris on the 3rd pairing?
What exactly are you disputing here?
Leafs 3rd and 4th line were pathetic and you know it.

Playing the blackhole of offense known as Jay McClement as many minutes a game we did sure didn't help.
