For a 7 goal 4th liner? I’d take a f’n 4th. Average mid six guys are your 3rd rounder trades.
Laughton cost a 1st.
Trade deadline makes teams make mistakes every single year.
It’s unfortunate, but I don’t trust the current GM
Trade Joshua!!!
2nd round pick, at least.

Leafs got 5 shots in 15 minutes. That PP looks amazing though.
lol and there’s the tie game
So according TSN Robertson and Stecher are in the group of extras tonight so maybe that’s because they’re on the cusp of a deal? I hope anyways? McMann is also on a top line with Matthews and Nylander so maybe they’re trying to make a guy who isn’t worth rounder look like he is? lol
Lose decently tonight Leafs (and yes I know it doesn’t look good considering who has their pick but I’ll keep hoping for this too the management and coach get changed), let the tradeable guys this week rack up some points.
Go Leafs Go
So when are Treliving and Berube getting fired so the trades can start happening?
Sad to say it but come on, the team is toning out the coach, and the GM tied himself to him. So come on leafs, you’re not making the playoffs, sell time, put a couple part time guys in charge to gain picks/prospects while letting the leftovers and some young guys play. Then go get who they want to put on charge before the draft in the off-season.
Recognize the current goal and go after it,
Go Leafs Go
👍I agree with Dozzer and others it’s probably time to sell now.
Leafs video review team put forth the best performance of anyone on the team last night. Sadly that’s not gong to win you many games, lol.
That being said for those who like to look forward all is not lost, teams have missed the playoffs and come back to win the cup the following year.
Most recently Vegas (missed in 2022 and won the Cup in 2023) and St. Louis (missed in 2018 and won in 2019 (after having a terrible first half of the season).
There are some other notables like Carolina 2004 miss, 2005 cancelled season 2006 Cup, Rangers 93/94 and Pens 90/91 (and another cup in 92), Habs 70/71
It’s not impossible & I don’t subscribe to the blow it up / burn it to the ground and start again theory.
GLG
Yup, be honest, say oooops where oooops needs to be said, sell it the fuck off now and get whatever you can for it, and rebuild with the missing types of talent that are far more clear now.
Otherwise, abandon this core totally, say a complete and total fuck it, sell everything and go back into a full rebuild.
Those are the two choices this year. Going after the playoffs is a waste of time, they won’t win in them even if they somehow make it.
GLG indeed, so long as they make a decent moving forward choice I guess *shrugs*
I truly wonder how much evidence some need to see to admit Mitchy-poo just doesn’t have it. His stats in big games are truly abysmal. Glad I don’t have to keep hoping he turns it around for next 8 years. The Leafs could not afford to pay him $13M+ per year just HOPING he finds some space in the playoffs to make a sick pass.
Helluva player, just not when it counts.
$13+? Hahahahahahahah
His take home is about $7.5 million in Nevada where the taxation is only 37% and not 53.53% like Ontario. To match it here he would need about $15.5 million. It’s the same reason why Matthews only makes league minimum and gets everything else as a bonus on July 1st while living in Arizona where it’s only 39.5%. The captain will cost a HUGE raise next contract too since teams can only give a maximum of a 60% July 1st bonus now. The league quickly wiped away this loophole for northern US teams and Canadian teams to maintain its focus on building the game in the southern US.
ok, I just cracked a beer open for the 3rd period.
lol I got up at 7, quickly took care of the morning chores and slammed back a coffee, and flipped to beer at 7:55am
I’ll pay for it, but oh well
GO CANADA GO!!!!
