This one doesn’t make sense for either team. It’s perfect. EDIT: Unless maybe Pittsburgh flips Schenn with retention, which Nashville can’t do as they’ve used all their available spots. Still not sure why Nashville does it, but I can kinda see it from Pittsburgh’s POV if this happens.

Because he got moved to a contender already.

Their roster is a lot like the Leafs - very top heavy. They have a little more oomph in their bottom 6, but still, very comparable.

That’s been his way for a while. Certainly not doing their farm system any favours. They’re now in the middle of a 5 year stretch with no 1st round pick. They don’t have much in house to help extend their window, that’s for sure,

Nope. Would not have paid that much. Brisebois does like to overpay to make sure he gets his target

Waiting to see what the return for Seattle is here, because those two would have made nice additions for the Leafs.

Seriously. He played 3 games in that entire playoff run. He didn't win the Cup. He was on the roster of a team that won the Cup.

Zelenskyy, unfortunately, doesn’t have much choice. If he doesn’t find a way to get the US on Ukraine’s side, things won’t get better anytime soon.

Especially considering neither of them are pending UFAs. Laughton has another year on his deal. Risto has two. Lots to consider to make this work. Would need to send future money back the other way, I would imagine.

Because Musk is doing everything they accused Soros of doing, but out in the open. It's nutso.

Sure, and I’m not against depth acquisitions, as that is an area of concern. Those can also come relatively cheap - Tarasenko, for instance, only cost Florida a 3rd and a 4th. I also wouldn’t consider that type of move responding to moves made by other teams. Some cheaper depth adds are fine...

Those two areas alone account for more than half of the difference, which is pretty crazy. When there's an empty net, the Leafs are -4 while TBay is +10. Definitely an area that needs improvement, but also one that really skews the difference. Also, in the span of 3 week in late November to...

Also, second half of a back-to-back and end of 3 in 4. Leafs have also played some sloppy hockey since the break. Sharks are really really bad, though, so, who knows? This one could go any number of ways.

Yup. And none of them made much of an impact when it mattered. Tarasenko had 9 points in the playoffs, Okposo had 2 and was a complete non-factor, and Hellberg was purely injury insurance. In general, when you look at teams that went big game hunting at the deadline or made moves seemingly in...

Smaller moves to bolster areas of concerns are all any true contender really needs. If there's a significant long-term piece that makes sense, absolutely go for it, but don't let what other teams are doing influence your actions. That's how contention windows get wasted. Stick to the plan and...

They’re not moving him any time soon, not after signing him to a significant extension this past September. Would have to be an offer they couldn’t refuse.

That’s a tougher one. Definitely makes head contact, but his arm is pretty loose, so it doesn’t feel like he was picking the head. Just reckless/careless more than malicious. Given his history, though…

Ahh. Afternoon hockey at it’s finest.

No thanks. No need to get into an arms race. They rarely produce a real winner.

Will be interesting to see how Jones performs in meaningful games. He hadn’t played any in years.
