Just had a word with Samuel L. Jackson, he said "Say Ben Chiarot one more time…"
I hope Robertson isn’t part of a package for a trade. Hate to give up on him already. Smallish player. But o have a strong feeling. He’s going to be a decent nHL player.
If can’t get JT Miller go get Klingberg and work a deal for Kessel. He’s on his last year and Leaf’s are paying part of his contract. Plus Yotes said Tuey would retain Kessels cap. Which means a bit more. If going after JT Miller. Schenn has to go with the package.
you are never going to get a decent defensemen or forward without giving up assets.
Muz hasn't been good this season….he's looked "off".
klingberg is the wrong type of dman.
I’m with Adam. Klingberg is the last guy our defence needs. Sure, he’d make the Leafs “better” but not in a way that would actually matter come playoff time.
A right handed stay at home defence in Mayfield from the Islanders makes way more sense
They need everyone for audition
2 weeks refundable lol
Yo, just a heads up, for guys like Klingberg and JT Miller, freakin Kerfoot and a pick isn't close. Just FYI, you're not in the ballpark yet.
Also, Robertson for Klingberg doesn't get it done either. It doesn't. He's been hurt for 50% of his professional career and he hasn't blown the doors off recently when he returned.
Leafs don’t need klingberg and no disrespect but he’s not worth the asking price, they need a shutdown second pairing guy, personally I’d prefer Calvin De Haan idk if that possibly. The leafs have shown they can play a shutdown style of play they just don’t sometimes, example Thursdays game against the wild vs Saturday against the wings, was like watching two different teams
Oh God Adam. AWFUL TAKE.
Out of Dallas' top 4 it's
Heiskanen
Klingberg
A fifty foot pile of dirt
Lindell
Another 50 foot pile of dirt
Then Suter.
Tell me you haven't watched any Stars games without telling me you haven't watched any Stars games
These three guys understand hockey the same way I understand cricket!
I would take Josh Manso and even Luke Schenn at this point….bottom 3 D are horrible and weak.
Jesse just reads Sportsnet's articles and hasn't watched a single game played by Klingberg. My gosh, Adam is absolutely correct in that he's brutal defensively. Watch him play and he'll drive you insane between his terrible defense and the fact he's a turnover machine. I wouldn't waste any assets on his expiring contract because we don't need his offense, he won't be on the top PP unit. Otherwise, why else would you get him? If you're Dubas, you go get Chychrun, simply because if the Leafs get bounced in the first round again, one or both of these things happens:
1) Dubas gets fired and an retool of this roster is going to take place.
2) One of the core 4 players goes, so you can afford to keep Chychrun's contract.
Either way, this will/should be the last kick at the can for Dubas and this current core of players because change will be inevitable.
JT is great but it will cost too much. Go for Connor Garland if Robertson doesn't meet expectations. Klingberg is great offensively but offers no defense. I think we need to target somone who offers a little of both.
trade dallas klingberg joe pavelski and holtby from toronto holl dermot and mrazyk and roberson
what you think guys
Gio's going to Calgary right?
And they called him up to play on the 4th line 😂
Could they package a deal with Chicago for Fleury and a D?.
Someone else who plays for stars lol. Seguin!!!!!!
I don't think we have the goalie to take us to final.
