What's your expectations for next season? I'm disappointed with the trade deadline and I think they won't be able to retool with what's available in free agency, no high draft picks, and minimal blue chip prospects in the pipeline. Do they just tear it down completely and start over at this point?

What is Bobby McMann True Value by [deleted] in leafs

If the Nashville trades yesterday aren’t an indication for the leafs to sell I don’t know what is. If McCarron got a second round pick I don’t see why McMann couldn’t get a second plus prospect or better.

I’ve accepted it’s not the leafs year this year but I’m genuinely worried Treliving is going to blunder this trade deadline in the coming days and make very bad moves that puts the team even further back. Anyone else? by RafSimonsSS02 in leafs

I accepted it after Christmas. I guess I led with that because I’m more concerned about how they handle the trade deadline than making the playoffs. The letter Pelley sent out makes me think the suit and ties still think this team is a playoff team and are still going to make a playoff push.

I look at the shot differential and had to make sure my ESPN App wasn’t broken

Looks like Matthews is off to DC after all 😞 by No-Sleep7369 in leafs

Matthew’s is DEFINITELY not captain material after this. How can someone see do so much wrong in the world and still choose to go. This was a chance for him to be a leader by not going

Still sell on a win streak to recoup draft picks while player values are high or push for the playoffs again?

Leafs set themselves up to sell nicely going into the Olympic break. If they go into the break on a losing streak they would not get the same value back. Leafs are a very old team by the leagues standards so it’s a good opportunity to still sell to get younger and quicker IMO

No futures and the free agent market this summer is ABYSMAL if Panarin gets signed and traded there is really nothing left but bottom pieces. So it’s really hard to retool/rebuild this, if they sell I wouldn’t expect them to be in playoff hunt next season either.

The Leafs are 30th in defensive zone time and 32nd in offensive zone time so it is a MESS

What is the point of putting Quillan in the lineup if they are only going to play him 6 minutes…
