I don’t think that does it. The only reason it might is that clearly Vancouver knows Hughes wants to go to NJ… but then that is a problem for the Leafs also, and now you have given up probably the 2nd best player on the team.
I wish they could get Hughes. one of the top 2 dmen in the league is just about as valuable as an elite 1st line center, which the Leafs also no longer have.
You are 100% correct on Vancouver knowing Hughes wants to go to the NJD. You can’t give up the Leafs #1 player under 25 for that with that type of risk attached.
If the Leafs want a guy like Hughes, they have to blow it up and draft one.
Then you flip him to NJ cause that’s were his bros are playing.
100% Hughes is going to the NJD. It’s just a matter of when and for how much. Either Vancouver moves him now and gets something valuable. Or, they get nothing at all.
This is precisely why the Leafs should consider moving Matthews, Nylander etc. with term left on their deals. The value they could and would bring back would allow the Leafs to rebuild in 2-3 years instead of the usual 5-7 years. They just have to do it properly.
Sources have said Anthony Stolarz has quietly requested a trade. Unlikely to see him back in a Leaf uniform.
You forgot to switch to your Eklund account before you made this retarded attempt at an impersonation.
Pretty sick that I, personally, forced a millionaire to relocate his family due to hurt feelings.
Also, I’m not 100% sure of the timeline, but according to some reports the nixed trade to Carolina was AFTER Marner rejected $13Mx8. God, I’m so glad he didn’t take that deal, we’d be subject to 8 more years of playoff failure. Now, if the season is in fact a write off, (it’s not), we can do a full rebuild.
The snowflake doesn’t blame itself for the avalanche.
You’re glad that the team is dead last in the East and 5th worst in the league? You must love it when the Leafs lose I guess. Pretty retarded to believe that.
Playoff failure? You mean the rest of them without him will fail to make the playoffs entirely? Seems to be that’s the true playoff failure now. You mean the guy who has more career playoff points than Tavares? And Matthews. And Nylander. And had direct involvement in 3 GWG vs. the Panthers last year? Boy, if that’s failure, just imagine how much more they’re going to fail now that they won’t make the playoffs AND have kept all the inferior playoff performers and added nothing to replace the guy who was #1 in playoff points among them.
Not to mention the tiny little detail that MARNER DIDN’T WANT TO RE-SIGN WITH THE FUCKING LEAFS. Holy, some people just love to beat the living fuck out of a dead horse.
Don’t look now, but there are already Vegas fans with buyers remorse. Only 7.7ish years to go, suckers!
If Marner wanted to leave, he would have been playing for the Hurricanes. It was only after the retards in management and the retards in the fanbase, such as yourself, forced him to move on.
Are Vegas fans sitting dead last in their conference and 5th worst in the league? Those Vegas fans seem to be as clueless as the retards who ran him out of Toronto. They’ll learn the hard way, as they always do.
Leafs won 1 round big fucking deal, got demolished in gm 7.. not a chance this years team with marner is much better. and it would just be a mirage.
They got demolished because they lost to the best team in the NHL. Nobody else got that close, not even McDavid. McDavid had 1 meaningless goal vs. the Panthers last year. Same goes for Kucherov. The Panthers stopped everybody. Only the Leafs got them that far.
This team is way better with Marner than without him, the stats and the facts are obvious.
this is the 4th season in a row there they have trended down by a decent chunk in xgf, possession whatever you want to look at. Marner was there for 3 of them Tre has chipped around the edges to try and make the team bigger and tougher to play against..but they are just slower and worse.
You can look at xGF for the Leafs but you can’t forget the fact that whatever they did last year, got them to Game 7 vs. the Panthers. That team, if kept together, could still be where they were last year. You have to consider that other teams are also in flux every year so even if the Leafs had some stats in decline, other teams in the division are also suffering from the same decline.
If the Leafs had been swept by the Panthers, it’d be a different conversation. But they went to Game 7. That should have been enough to give that group another chance with tweaks such as dumping Kampf, Jarnkrok and other depth players that did nothing positive.
they didnt have great numbers last season either, the goalies really masked a lot.
losing a top line player doesnt help, but even with him they would be bad still. things have been sliding for a few seasons, steadily getting worse with each move Brad makes.I wasnt a fan of the GM tre move. he needs to go
The goalies did mask a lot of the problems this team had but it was more manageable for the goalies to do so last year than this year.
The Leafs PP and PK have both been horrid and both are directly connected to Marner as he was a piece of both units that had more success with him than without him. Last year, when Matthews torn his labia, Marner carried the team on his back. This year, the guys “carrying” the team are losing games while scoring points because their defense is atrocious.
Treliving is a dumbass and a bad GM. He’s failed at every team he’s ever been at. He’s like JFJ, maybe worse because at least JFJ was originally hired as a rookie GM so there was the chance of untapped potential. Treliving failed so hard in Phoenix and Calgary, nobody in this organization should have even given him an interview.
The dumbest fans out there screamed for the team to under go radical change. They got what they screamed for and go figure, the idiots were wrong. Had Treliving had run the team back from last year and done minor patches to address the depth players, odds are they’re sitting in a wild card spot or better right now and still have the same chance they had last year of pushing the Panthers to Game 7. Hell, with the exact same team, the Panthers might miss the playoffs and the Leafs wouldn’t have to worry about them at all.
