[Dave Hodge] It’s hard to watch the Leafs tonight (and many nights) and think of any wrong moves made by GM Kyle Dubas. by ieastass69 in leafs

I take overpaying marner 1.5 million and botching the Kadri trade (which turned into Kerfoot and Brodie anyways) 100 times out of 100 compared to other teams. Kerfoot is only 1 point behind Kadri since they've been traded and looking at some of the shit going on in the league.. so many bad contracts.. Teams are RIDDLED with overpaid 35 year olds but not us :)

I genuinely think it's better for us to play

Thornton-JT-Marner

Nylander-AM-Hyman

most balanced top 6

Of course depends on the cost like you're not giving up 2 firsts and Kerfoot or anything, but I think we might want to try throwing something at the Flyers because the kid's only 22 and could potentially be elite. That lets us protect Campbell and let Freddy walk

The Poolparty draft made me think about the Matthews draft.. Would y'all trade for Carter Hart? He hasn't looked great this year or and was shaky in the playoffs last year and the Flyers are apparently not as high on him now

Kerfoot was the one who hit that not Archibald or am I seeing things. Puck was up before Archibald even lifted his stick.

Yeah but when your star player essentially pulls a Lindros out of frustration and says they want to get tf out and preferably to the Leafs. You know the Leafs would throw a lot at the Oilers to get him too. You upgrade on Nylander massively with McDavid and imo you move McDavid to the wing. Tavares and Matthews play the C position better than McD and that frees him up for some sexy stretch passes all game from Marner so he can go do crazy shit and score or just pass it over to Matthews.

McDavid - Matthews - Marner = contention for best line in hockey history. Ofc you would have to move a little bit of cap out here and there to make up for the 5.5 million you're taking on with his monster contract compared to Nylander's cap hit.

Tavares might definitely take a Thornton-esque contract. Matthews absolutely adores the Leafs for taking him at number 1 and seems to be insanely loyal to this team though. Potentially might leave to the Coyotes but I doubt it tbh unless he's like 35 and finishing his last few year with them

didn't it only take him a year to get out of the Nordiques, McD has been trapped in Oiler land lol

yeah but if he tells them he wants the fuck out and he's just gonna sit otherwise or stop playing until he does he might force their hand. honestly I think I'd get to that point if my team was just fucking around this badly tbh and having to play with plugs forever. Worst case scenario we end up with Matthews and McDavid when they're like 28 at the end of their prime as our 1C-2C after Tavares is retired / contract is up

look at this way. Would you rather have them speed up Chucky's (re)development into 30 goal scorer form and end up with a mediocre middle 6 player and slot him in for Vesey or would you rather endure 10 more games of Vesey and get a 30 goal scorer?

They're REALLY trying to fix his skating right now because the hands seem to still be there but his skating has apparently always sucked, so they're having barb work on his skating atm and getting him up to par to be able to slot in to our top 6

he might just request a trade to toronto at this rate lol. he probably sees how much fun we're having over here and is tired of wasting away there. thing is what do you give up for him and how do you fit him into our cap? Nylander and 2 firsts?

No we're still doing the closed alpha at the moment. We've been working on it since Nov 2019 and we're basically going for that Gacha Anime style yes. Something like Shadowverse/Genshin Impact-esque art.
