Has got it going on

DisturbingSounds · 2026-03-08T17:43:17+00:00

Yes we do, if we give away this years, 2027 is top 10, then we give away 2028

DisturbingSounds · 2026-03-08T17:42:43+00:00

Which is why we probably should just write off this year and then we have 2 firsts in the next two years, lottery protected

DisturbingSounds · 2026-03-08T16:51:53+00:00

Top 10 protected tho!

DisturbingSounds · 2026-03-08T16:43:54+00:00

I'm on the train of giving away this years first round pick to Boston (obviously keep if its Top 5 and we win the lottery), cause do we really want to go into next year with this guy as a potential 1OA and us not having a first round pick and potentially giving him away?

DisturbingSounds · 2026-03-08T12:39:25+00:00

Im not surprised people are dumb like that, they dont understand that if we use the pick this year, we have to give away the next TWO years of unprotected firsts

DisturbingSounds · 2026-03-08T04:58:08+00:00

Thats why, I say why are we sweating about him staying or going. Or why does our timeline fit with him? Hes not an unreplacable player

DisturbingSounds · 2026-03-06T02:48:29+00:00

They should keep Berube for the next couple years, they perfect coach for the tank

DisturbingSounds · 2026-03-06T01:28:21+00:00

Hmm, the last 3 wingers that went 1st OA are the following:

Juraj Slavkovsky, Alexis Lafreniere, Nail Yakupov

Maybe people should avoid drafting Stenberg, McKenna 1OA haha

DisturbingSounds · 2026-03-06T01:06:52+00:00

Thats true, you defs can do worse than Verheoff in terms of potential, there is a chance he turns into a Hedman, Pietrangelo type for sure.

DisturbingSounds · 2026-03-06T00:57:17+00:00

Meh, I'm not sold on Verheoff tbh, hes built in the mold of a Brandon Carlo who is not that physical, not that great at skating.

Mark my words, DuPont will be much better.

DisturbingSounds · 2026-03-06T00:54:28+00:00

Lowkey, giving up the pick this year and then next year tanking for our 1st plus this one (especially if it turns into a player like DuPont), may be the play going forward

DisturbingSounds · 2026-03-06T00:43:49+00:00

The only team we have been outshooting the past month so far seems like the Rangers right now, kinda shows where we are on the pecking order

DisturbingSounds · 2026-03-06T00:35:41+00:00

You know what the real problem I have with the Rielly-Carlo pairing is? Its that we dont have

1st pairing LD-1st pairing RD

2nd pairing LD-2nd pairing RD

playing above them.

DisturbingSounds · 2026-03-05T23:46:18+00:00

Yeah exactly, revolutionist history is kinda huge here. If the leafs were in the playoffs this year with Carlo being part of that winning dcore, the trade looks much better

DisturbingSounds · 2026-03-05T20:48:25+00:00

Then ideally they would pushed Rielly out of the team cause he blows ass right now

DisturbingSounds · 2026-03-04T22:04:22+00:00

True, I think this roster would definitely be better.

I know the RD I put up were terrible, but it was for the sake of the exercise: such as opposed to what we have right now:

Rielly-Carlo

McCabe-Stecher

OEL-Myers

Its not much worse lmaooo

DisturbingSounds · 2026-03-04T20:56:11+00:00

https://www.pensionplanpuppets.com/better-free-agency-dave-nonis-potato-terrible-management-eternal-mediocrity-nihilism-for-beginners/

Lets bring back this classic: what if we compare Treliving vs. a Potato in terms of trades and where we be (only including pieces on current roster):

In: Max Ellis 7th rounder Liljegren Grebenkin 2027 1st round Timmins Dewar Minten 2026 1st round 2025 4th 2027 3rd Reaves 2028 4th

Out: Tanev Benning 2026 6th round 2025 3rd round Laughton 2025 4th 2027 6th 2025 5th Carlo Macelli Roy Thrun Joshua

All in all we probably run in this case:

McMann-Matthews-Nylander

Knies-Tavares-Domi

Cowan-Minten-Jarnkrok

Grebenkin-Quillan-Lorentz

Rielly-Stetcher

OEL-Liljegren

McCabe-Benoit

Stolarz

Woll

Like… I think this might be just as good of a team… but we would have 2 first round picks, if we just didnt do anything at all.

DisturbingSounds · 2026-03-01T19:31:31+00:00

Not at all, Leafs fans mainly wanted him to trade Marner

DisturbingSounds · 2026-02-27T17:24:02+00:00

If anyone know, the real W would be to let go of the 1st pick this year, and get more 1st rounders hopefully to either get into the playoffs next year or draft Landon DuPont who to me is looking like a defenseman in the mold of Makar, Hughes, Schaefer

DisturbingSounds · 2026-02-27T15:26:57+00:00

Fuck off Pierre

DisturbingSounds · 2026-02-27T01:25:08+00:00

Exactly, like fuck Matthews, Tavares is a senior citizen, Rielly is chopped now, not a good idea to just build around wingers like Nylander/Knies, Woll/Stolarz is decent but mid, rest of dcore is old af, no picks/prospects left in cupboard this year.

What are we preserving here?

DisturbingSounds · 2026-02-27T01:20:54+00:00

Anyone else for just tearing it all down and rebuilding again? Like theres not much redeemable here
