Bryan Hayes, Jeff O’Neill, Jamie McLennan and TSN Hockey Insider Chris Johnstondiscuss the Toronto Maple Leafs approach to the trade deadline and if this is an all-in year for General Manager Kyle Dubas.
Why beat around the bush. Kyle should be doing everything he can to load up and win a round. Leafs should be going deep. Him playing around with the future makes little sense because he’s on the chopping block with another exit in round 1.
I have tbh. If the Leafs get Knocked out in the 1st round AGAIN I could see the management just saying "Ok Kyle We're sorry We like u but this aint working."
Alexander Romanov and Zack Parise from the NYI when they fall out of contention, for a 1st a 3rd and a 5th. Romanov is 6ft 1" 210lb who can play both sides in a top 4 role. 23yrs old at 2.5m with 2yrs left, so he's not a rental. And Zack could be your 3rd line lw who could play on your 2nd pp unit. He's got 13 goals so far this year, at pretty much leage min salary. Islanders get a first back, plus a 3rd and 5th, with cap relief for next season.
Leaf should go get Joel Edmundson from the habs 29year top 4 defenseman with experience (1 cup, 1 final) He is not a rental, there is a other year to his contract
They can ad a top 6 winger and a top 2 Dman but goal tending will still be an issue in the play offs. Samsonov has been steady but has a penchant for giving up a softy at the wrong time and that's a killer in the play offs. No changes means a first round exit again in what is the toughest division in hockey. Whoever comes out of this division will be bruised and battered moving on.

Yeeeeeah right. they’ll bring in a 35 year old past their prime. If they actually go for Soros I’d be surprised
Leafs will land McCabe 100%

Why not start by getting two top pairing D men? Most teams start with that and a solid 1A goalie.
Anyone who watches this team regularly with any sort of critical eye cannot honestly say they have any shot at a cup.
Don't let Dubas give up even more assets. PLEASE.
Leafs are no good in the playoffs everyone knows this. Let's focus on good Canadian teams with a chance: Oilers and the Jets
Honestly Dubas should be let go and manage a A&w or a timmys
Don't trade knies plllllllllease
I’m so looking forward to when the leafs lose in the 1st again, gonna be a lot of salt

Who farted on my corn flakes? Go get Hronek and Larkin and Bert. DRW will eat all the costs, send us your entire future.
The best decision ever made in my life was investing in the crypto market. Trust me guys, it really pays a lot
