Thread: Taking a crack at the Leafs
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JTrades</b></div><div>I appreciate the thought put into this post. I never thought of the leafs getting Husso.

I do not think the Marner trade works for a few reasons.
1. I do not think that Durzi is the type of player that Toronto needs
2. They already traded Durzi once
3. Unless they get significantly better on forward, they should target a defenseman

I did one a while back that had Crouse and Nick Schmaltz going to Toronto</div></div>

I think I might be inherently biased thinking Durzi is better than he is since NHL 24 really likes him, but I know the Leafs need a RD and adding him plus Montour plus Crouse seems like a good value to punt Marner. That said in terms of present value, Crouse and Schmaltz is def more value than Crouse/Durzi. I also didn't realize that he was part of the Muzzin trade, I was just thinking bringing two Ontario boys home in areas of need.

Thread: Id say keep the core together
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JTrades</b></div><div>If all this team needed was tweaks or luck, then this team would have won a couple of rounds by now. At some point, you have to admit that the problem is with the core and it's not during the regular season. They become a different team in the playoffs. They have no compete or pushback. The problem is between the ears. That's why they can't win in the playoffs. The best teams are never out of a game or a series. If they lose a game they are going to send you to the dressing room limping from the last hit and win the next game.
This team is flawed and we need to accept that. Losing is never okay. If they players want to stay together they need to win. They haven't been able to do that</div></div>

Thank you well said
