Subban can't play defence and is prone to moments of super hero delusions. I wouldn't offer the towel boy for Subban.
Not directed at you SprDaVE - As far as the trade rumors, Leaf fans have to get out of the "we can trade our way into a championship" thought process because its a quick fix. Folks I realize 2 years is a long rebuild (sarcasm) but we have to be patient and wait for our prospects to develop. Dubas has said the answers we need are on the farm, Shanny has said we need to be patient, Babcock has said this will be painful, all hints that this rebuild is a long game, chances are guys like Gardiner, Brown, Hyman, ect may not be on this team when we win (if we win) a championship.
We've seen this year just how hard it is to win a championship, teams who have had special years like like Nashville, Winnipeg, Tampa, Boston don't even get to the SCF and the Cinderella team LV is on the brink of elimination, it tells us that a good team like Toronto has A LOT of work to do if they want to get anywhere near a SCF. Obviously anything can happen but IMO we are not a year or 2 away from being that really dominant team, we are 3 to 5 years away. I just hope our management does not do what they have always done in the past, think we are really close, get impatient, trade away a bunch of prospects/picks for suspect talent (Raycroft, Nolan, ect) and continue the historical cycle of stupid that runs through the halls of MLSE.
I like Trouba, Hamilton, Faulk, Tanev but not at the cost of overpaying with our prospects/picks and isn't that the usual MO of GM's, rob the other guy blind? No thanks to big ticket trades.
