Why all the doom and gloom. When Matthews returns from the Olympics the Leafs will have a solid 2nd line checking center to start the rebuild.
It’s looking like they need a new coach to bring him back, and I seriously mean drive the car lol

I will add that according to Tree there was little to no retention needed in the league this year. Too many sellers as well. This is a deadline that saw both Kadri and Schenn move with 3 and 2 years left on their deals. Flames retained 20% and Blues retained 0 from what I can see. So laughton being cheap wasn’t as valuable as I originally thought.
They got Laughton last year and were division champs. Why would you not make a deal in that season? It’s only a 1st and they expected two playoff runs with him. Sadly the second didn’t come to fruition.
If we look and say a 1st, 3rd (condition to 2nd), 5th for Laughton and Roy I think everyone would be relatively happy. I’d like to hope the kings make the playoffs, give up the 2nd and the leafs resign Laughton.
Overall I give the deadline a C+. I still think they should have moved Jarnkrok, Benoit, possibly Maccelli as he is RFA and due for a raise above 3.4 million. Maybe stetcher or Carlo and even possibly OEL.
I do think the Carlo trade was a bit of an overpay but again, the leafs got the coveted RHD, under contract for last playoffs and this year AND next. Pricey to pay with only top 5 protected. Hindsight is 20/20 though. If they beat the Panthers last year, are we talking the same thing?
I heard rumblings of Stolarz being moved and I suspect a goalie will be gone in the summer. Hildebeast is no longer waiver exempt next year so they likely have to move off one of the guys.
Yeah, the only repeated decent draws seemed to be d men this year, agreed. We will see what the leafs are doing to move longer contracts out this off-season, which as you know thankfully are never typically deadline moves lol. I also think it’s safe to consider the returns on these forwards were a bit low this year because the UFA group is looking a bit weak. So them and their agents likely weren’t on board with agreeing to an extension as part of a deal since the open market might pay out nicely this year. Hence why they didn’t draw all that much, since they’re nothing more than rentals for a couple of months.
Treliving, as usual, failed. There were comparable players like Carlson and Faulk that went for a 1st++ and they didn’t move OEL. They could always move him in the future but that’s assuming he doesn’t fall off a cliff. He played better than expected this year on a bad team. They should have sold high before he gets Tanev’d.
Treliving did well to get a 1st for Roy but failed miserably on McMann and Laughton. It’s better to get at least a 2nd or a 3rd rather than nothing at all but Treliving needed to squeeze more. Maybe he’s just shit at working the phones and selling his assets. Stecher played well enough to get something, even a 3rd round pick.
Getting a 1st, 2nd, 3rd (maybe 2nd), 4th and 5th round pick is not terrible but also not good enough either. It’s a return fitting for this team; mediocre. It won’t make them a contender again next year and knowing this team, those picks will be either wasted or traded in a futile attempt to become a wild card team built for a 1st round exit. That can only change if management changes. A great GM could turn those picks into quality contributing players on a contender. But Treliving ain’t that guy.
One thing is for damn certain, Treliving blamed himself for the failure of this team and yet walks away with ZERO accountability. If he is truly blaming himself and accepting responsibility and accountability he should have quit long before today. Instead, he throws out some bullshit lines to the media, all the talking heads and retarded fans alike shrug their shoulders and Treliving gets to run it all back again next year. He works another draft, he works another July 1st and the Leafs trot out the same pile of shit they had this year. Rinse, repeat.
This team needs a full rebuild and instead they will get a replay of the Kessel years. You’re welcome and enjoy the ticket price increase.
The only way Laughton makes any sense is the overpayment was due to him being bought to finish last year, those playoffs, and this year and what was expected to be playoffs as well. Philly also held half his contract. So it makes the price of selling him for nothing more than a third, being a half priced guy, even worse, unless he’s just a rental that they’re planning to resign in the off-season. Not my idea, I’m just wondering if they’re thinking this.

Kadri to the Avs, holy fuck, they’re FOR SURE my team now.
Wow.
Happy for Kadri – wonder what it cost the Av’s?
I don’t know the prospects but they gave up a first conditional on the leafs first for Roy. So center depth is McKinnon, Nelson, Kadri and Roy. Pretty solid.
thats what I was thinking, they could probably squeeze one 1st out of someone. but doubt much more.
Tre way overpaid for Carlo and Laughton, now he will sell at a big loss. if he even trades them.this guy is smrt
nailed it. got one 1st. not much more. sold Laughton at a lossThe only way Laughton makes any sense is the overpayment was due to him being bought to finish last year, those playoffs, and this year and what was expected to be playoffs as well.

Keep Berube to keep losing the rest of the season.But we all know the leafs are giving boston a top 10 pick.
Kadri to the Avs, holy fuck, they’re FOR SURE my team now.
Wow.
