    Maybe if Hall actually tried and wasn't a locker room cancer, the Sabres would've gotten a first rounder

    Adams doesn't have a clue what he's doing, and the rest of the league's GMs know it. Those of us that watched Johansson know he was worth more than a 6th. Now that he's in Colorado, he's 3-0-1 with a .929 save %.

    How many picks did Pat Quinn, JFjr, Cliff Fletcher and Burkie trade away and what happened because of it? I like Foligno but we shouldn't trade our first rounders every year. The saving grace of Dubas is that he traded to get back in the first round. Hope he does it again this year. Winning teams don't trade to the cup. They get it from the draft and development. 2002(did Steen play for us or did he play for some other team for a decade?) 2003, 2004, 2005(we don't have Rask, do we) 2006 ((Jiri was caught dirty and shipped out), 2007, 2009 (what did we get for Kadri?) 2010, 2014-2016 we kept our picks… Who are those guys? 2019 and now 2021. We have a long history of trading away first rounders. It should almost never happen. Please feel free to trade a non first round picked prospect and picks rd3 and later but keep the others. You need those picks to have cheaper talent. You can't buy a cup. We tried that already.

    Yeah I think the double retention as well as the initial salary is the big difference with Hall and Foligno + Savard. I’ve seen a lot of upset Sabre’s fans but Hall was the only player who refused to take less than he usually would despite the flat cap last year. The Sabre’s failed by not getting a double retention deal done if they really wanted a 1st, but then of course it sounds like Hall hurt the deal with his short list and NMC. I wouldn’t have given them a 1st either the way the deal happened, but if you reduced another 25% salary through another team, that’s a different deal- though the Sabre’s would likely be giving up a 3rd to get a 1st then. It’s possible they could add a 5th maybe a 4th to recoup something for the 3rd if Hall was to have a significantly lower cap hit.

    They also got to keep 50% of Halls contract. Krejci, Hall, and Smith/Ritchie… could be a Krejci, Horton, Looch 2.0 and that line dominated in the playoffs. Give Krejci 2 solid wingers and magic happens.

    What a great deal for the leafs. I agree they had to make a move and this is the best year to go all in. I agree with your point 100 percent.

    If the Leafs exit early in the playoffs again this year a lot of people will lose their jobs and some of the high salary floaters will be gone. They will rcoup picks and prospects and re-tool around Mathews and Marner and whoevers the new GM descides is a real hockey player and not a floater waiting for his weekly paycheque to arrive. Did you watch those last twogames? What is with this team?

    To be fair to Adams, there was a better deal from some Western team that I guarantee he would've taken, except for that no trade clause, Hall reportedly refused to go anywhere but Boston, at least among whoever it is that made offers for him, Hall only wanted to go to Boston so Adams got what he could

    I'm so glad the leafs suck so hard. How many years has it been now since you passed the 1st round?? LOL 😆
