Description

Toronto has good players in their system, I think we can be a deadly threat as long as we change up the lines to something that works.

JVR needs to be traded at the deadline because he will bring in a haul and we are not going to afford to resign him. Toronto will most likely not be able to get past the 1st round in the playoffs so its a waste keeping him. Trade him and bring him a good prospect/pick.

Toronto will most likely not be able to get past the 1st round in the playoffs. Thanks for the reality. Not sure if the Leafs should should be sellers, but agree they shouldn't be buyers.

I'm not sure if Toronto will buy or sell, and it could even be a bit of both. But if they do sell why not trade Bozak and Komarov instead of (or as well as) JVR? If any of those guys stays long term, I would expect that it's VanRiemsdyk.

Plus I don't think your lines are any better than Babcock's, to be honest.

Depending on the matchup the Leafs can get to the 2nd round. If they go head to head with BB's they can can beat them. I've said it before I don't get the negativity surrounding this team... every team goes through slumps where they can't score. Leafs have over a 10 point cushion on the next Atlantic team so barring any major collapse they'll make the playoffs and then anything can happen.

As for the trade... no... why would the Leafs trade for another RW when they have so many in the system already? Plus that isn't a good enough return for a JVR. Maybe Bozak but not JVR.

The lines are arguably worse then now. Martin has grown on me (still not worth his contract but fine...) and you called up Kapanen to sit in the pressbox??? K...

Why can't they get passed the 1st round? Other then Tampa, who in the Atlantic can beat them in the playoffs? In the 2nd round say the Rangers beat TBL, are you afraid of the Rangers? NYI? NJD?

I think depending on the matchups the Leafs can get to the ECF. Any team that makes the playoffs has a chance to win. Leafs can be that team.

I agree that the Leafs most likely don't get far and shouldn't be buyers, if they are going to sell, then actually sell.
JVR is worth more than sprong and a 2nd, and the opportunity exists with Pittsburg to get a bigger deal including Bozak. I'm sure they'd love to dump Hagelin who would instantly be the best defensive player the Leafs had...
