It's crazy that with all of the resources Toronto can throw at their problems they somehow manage to suck at both drafting and developing young talent and whenever they do stumble into a good young player they almost always trade them away right before they really hit their stride.
What's even weirder is that they've had this exact same problem since the early 2000's and maybe even before.
Good to know that Adam has turned the corner and has stopped glazing Kyle Dubas. He's one of the worst General Managers in history. Can't draft, doesn't believe in a strong d-core or goal tending because we will just out score our problems, he likes small fast players who are soft and get turnstiled, he's an ego maniac who needs full control but has shown it Pittsburgh that he sucks when he has it, and believes that Stats tell a better story than someone's eyes do because Kerfoot, Holl, Cici, and Engvall were all awful Leafs who he defended no matter what.
kills me how Wes was regarded as a genius. Not.
I think tyler biggs was a great pick
The idea behind trading back makes all the sense in the world, but I’d love to know how many times that strategy has actually worked. Just last year, the Wild traded up one spot and got Buium who looks like a future superstar while Philly got a 3rd I believe they already traded and Jett Luchanko
If it can be analyzed in 8 minutes it cant be good 😂
Travis Konecny is the PERFECT example of trading back and having it fall flat. How they decided to pass on Konecny and make that last second deal with Philly is an atrocious decision. I spat on my TV when Bettman walked up to announce that trade.
these guys going back to Europe because Leafs don't give young guys a chance – steeves, 2 finns, – instead they bring in old guys like Thorton, marleau, spezza, giordano, patchorety and take up roster spots for young players to develop
in 10 years, will it still be dubas fault
!remindme2030
If Leafs fans are blaming Tre and gang for his early moves still! 😂😂😂
Ok ok, the ones that got away will alwaays haunt you, sorry thats the truth.
I'm glad Minten was traded for Carlo, if not for that trade we would never witness Carlos puck stopping colonscopy in game 7
Their asset management is bad going back before that. Case in point, Alex Stern traded out after 3 years.
I’ll be completely honest I’ve been listening off and on for years even as a bruins and edm fan because I’m a big hockey fan and I’ve got to say I think Jesse has the takes I agree with the most, Steve and Adam just seem to complain and nothing is ever anything you won’t hit on ever trade or draft pick guys my bruins haven’t drafted well since 2010
Mad at Marchment being traded for low picks is worse?😂 What’s worse is Marchment being traded for “Twice Waived” Dennis Malgin.
Give Treliving time. He will make bad moves. Look at what he did to kill Calgary.
There is no analytics to measure the heart of a player.Dubas and his love of analytics didn’t work in Toronto and it hasn’t worked in Pittsburgh.
