I don’t think Ryan Leonard is in play.

i guess for me the question is it Willy just forgetting how to play over the offseason, or what he is being asked to do. Willy currently has one of the lowest ixg/60 and xGF/60 of his career. He also isn’t producing off the rush as he is 204th in rush points/60, which is usually his bread and...

It’s been Berube bad. They just have skill again. I don’t buy the talent level of the team either.There are teams with worse talent doing much better. You’re telling me they don’t have the talent to compete with team like Pittsburgh, Detroit, Bruins, Rangers, Flames (Who are all top 15+ in...

They are only spending $3 mill more than Woll/Stolarz and Woll has also been average. The coaching is a bigger problem IMO. I’d buy the goaltending if they were like the devils and had great nerdies but shit goaltending. But they are 27th in xGF/60, which is insane with this talent and the...

According to MoneyPuck our goaltending has won 0.25 games above average. Our record should be worse than it is based on their 5v5 play, which is trash. Average goaltending with their offensive talent should be more than enough to win a lot. But they don’t generate enough offense and they give...

Goals Against above Expected: Leafs: -1.21 (15th) Goals Saved Above Expected Stolarz - 0.299 (25th/71) Bob- 0.0 (34th) Leafs goaltending has been average.

XGF (NST): Games 1-5: 45.6% 6-10: 45.0% 11-15: 50.1% I guess they are actually getting better, even though the last two games have been shit.

Seattle is one of the worst defensive teams in the league too. What they are trying to do isn’t working.

Theyre not getting to the net 5v5. They’ve been so inconsistent at it all year. So many point shots.

Jackets were over the cap after signing Fantili and couldn’t take on Knies without dumping salary/didn’t want to be in LTIR. Leafs wanted the LTIR contract rather tha. A real cap hit to maintain the cap space of the difference between Knies/Marchenko and are going to be in LTIR with Domi anyway,

With the obvious exception, none of those rental D are even exciting and I’m not even sure any of the good ones will be available. But I think if they move OEL in the deal they can easily take in a D making $6 mill ish long term. No idea who that is.

I don't think it will be hard to move money to make another big deal. Just look at the Marchenko deal. Half of it was just moving money.

Ya but that’s not a tagging issue, Which is also being overstated as the Lefas have multiple depth players that aren’t playing counting to next years cap.

Also can’t they create enough room for Danford by sending down MacWatd/Wood, who are both signed next year,

There was no tagging issue until they acquired and paid Marchenko. No one wanted the Leafs to come into the season not spending their cap space. If anything the complaint was that they should have spent more on better players.
