Your team is reeling, already shorthanded - not the time to do that.

that's a really bad time to do something like that, geez

_That's_ a penalty? Come on.

I'd feel better about this option if the Leafs had some good players ready to move up from the AHL or junior, but the cupboard is pretty bare. And the potential UFA list for this summer looks pretty underwhelming. Now, if there's a realistic possibility that McDavid wants to come here when his...

Always interesting to see the blame placed on lack of scoring from the depth players. While that has definitely been an issue for this team, they have been paying half the salary cap to 4 offensive players. You do that because those players are (supposedly) so good that they can dominate/take...

Yeah, they gave him everything he could have wanted last time, and it sounds like they've already offered him a ridiculous contract this time as well. What more are they supposed to do. Sounds like the Rantanen offer (including trade request) was just management trying to do the best for the...

I have to say, assuming the reports are true - I'm impressed that they were considering it and went as far as asking Marner to agree to a trade. Didn't think they had it in them to even consider a big move like that. At this point I have no idea what will eventually happen with Marner but will...

Pitt retaining salary on Carlo?

whew...definitely was getting nervous

So that probably means one of Cowen or Minten (or Danford) is going to be moved for the defensive help they need. Should be interesting to see what that turns out to be.

They really need a defenseman good enough to push one of Timmins/Benoit/Myers out of the lineup. I don't see how they can go anywhere in the playoffs with 2 of them in the lineup every night. After that, a forward who can push Holmberg out of the top six would be nice. I think one could be more...

Acquiring Rantanen for Knies (and yes, they'd have to have a contract agreement with Rantanen first) would be such a big and un-Leafy move (not saying it would be a good deal, though Rantanen is a better player than Knies right now). It's the kind of deal I could see a Florida or Tampa or Vegas...

In those last 10 games they've played 3 teams currently in the playoffs (Vegas, Calgary, Carolina). How will that look in a 7 game playoff series against a Florida or Tampa? That line is offensively gifted but they got dominated last night against a top level team and that's what will happen in...

On one hand, at least it's not the same tired crap about "we did a lot of good things, we had a lot of chances, we played well overall..." He's just admitting what we all can see and have been seeing for years now. This team doesn't start on time, plays down to opponents, expects "easy games"...

Yes, I'm sure they'll do well when we face Chicago and Pittsburgh in the playoffs. Against a real contender like Vegas they will get eaten alive. They are too weak defensively (Robertson and Domi) to be together. Though I do agree with the premise that they haven't been put in the best position...

I would be ok with that but I doubt they go that route. We'll know soon enough.

Good chance. There's no way they can go into the playoffs with both Domi and Robertson on the third line.

Yeah McMann has been kind of invisible for a while now. Looks to be coasting a lot of the time.

Soft is right. Even if that isn't a goal, the team has been playing a lot softer all over the ice compared to early in the season.

Yeah unless Treliving can work some magic in the next day and a half, this is looking more and more like another first round exit. Team is a disaster recently in the defensive zone, goalies have regressed, Matthews can't score...just a mess despite the record.
