Did the Toronto Maple Leafs do enough upgrades on the blue line to be in a better position to compete next season? Mike DiStefano and David Morassutti debate whether the Leafs have done enough with their defence to get themselves in a position to compete further in the playoffs and what areas they are still lacking. They take a look at how the pairings could shape up and wonder if Craig Berube and his staff consider anything different. To end the show, Mike and Dave discuss a trade idea that was floated on the Steve Dangle Podcast involving Mitch Marner. On the next show they will discuss the departure of Wes Clark as that was announced after recording.

Blue line definitely appears better on paper. I do believe personally people need to stop complaining about Bertuzzi walking and not adding a forward(s). Forward is not where we needed to add, not to mention we have internal competition with the young fellas.
Let’s see what Cade Webber and Philippe Myers look like. No more smurfs ala Victor Mete 🙏
If Reilly can improve on his career -9 rating then maybe, just maybe the D might be better. Trade Marner a career +110 a two time First Team All Star and a definite top 10-15 player in the NHL for Necas a career +20 who averages about 10 mins/game played less than Marner? The way the media has treated Marner I would be happy to see him play out his time then sign somewhere else. The Moronto Media did the same to Kadri. As for Marner not performing in the playoffs, who’s the Leafs leading point getter in the playoffs? Saravelli is a moron.
No
They would need to thow on couple first round picks or prospects or something because he get half the trade done if that he not what we need not very good in my opinion
If hakanpaa plays he is wsy better than lybushkin hakanpaa was playing 17-19 minutes a night against the best players on pk and on second paring
I would try :
OEL with Riley (2nd pair)
McCabe with Tanev (1st pair)
TL with Benoit. (3rd pair)
It's not imperative nor is it realistic for them to win a Marner trade. Talking about who wins a deal I always feel is ridiculous. Both teams in a trade have different needs so it's usually not an apples to apples comparison. Getting a good player back AND just as importantly getting cap relief is the goal. They must fix this ridiculous salary distribution so they can build a better balanced lineup!
Necas plus $5m in cap space is a good deal for Marner. And no Mitch is not all world. What the heck are Leaf fans smoking?
Even next year it will still be Mathew’s Marner and nylander with John t on a bit of a lower cap and that is how it’s going to be.
Great seeing you on OD. AL’s brother is a genius 😊
