If you keep all of those guys, what are you trading then, Hall and Palms? No one wants Zacha Boyle Noesen Stafford Greene or Lovejoy. Could make the case no one wants Johansson or Wood too.

I mean, he's a 36yr old who's only ever been on this team....I feel like even he's surprised and thankful that he's being given a lot of rope.

SterioDesign Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Do you guys realize how the Leafs got so good? They drafted Schenn 5th overall (which they traded for 2nd overall van riemsdyk), Rielly 5th overall, Marner 4th overall, Kadri 7th overall, Nylander 8th overall, Matthews 1st overall. Since 2006, they missed the playoffs 10 times and NEVER won a playoffs series. It took 9 years to draft their core. With that core, they were able to attract a coach like Babcock and players like Tavares (1st overall) and Marleau. We started from almost NOTHING 3-4 years ago and only had someone who knew something about drafting for 2 years. It's. going. to. take. time. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJDevils1214 Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Lol Hynes doesn't even look mad. He doesn't look like he cares. I can imagine him going into the LR and going "okay boys, I told them what they wanted to hear. See you guys on the plane.". Honestly if we are really 7 years out from a successful team then Shero should have traded Hall and Schneider while they had value. This is just absolute dog sh!t.

That's a man whose pride is suffering massively. He's a good guy, there's no doubt about it and he definitely cares. I wish that's all it took to be a good coach but it's not.

Please tell me systematically how you expect to take the 2015 team... with no prospects or anything... and make it a contender faster than we are now? The only way is to magically sign every single top free agents over a few years at a bargain deal. Is that what you expect? Cammalleri - Henrique - Jagr Elias - Zajac - Ruutu Ryder - Gomez - Zubrus Havlat - Josefson - Gionta Next in line: Tootoo - Bernier (top prospect = Reid Boucher) Greene - Salvador Larsson - Gelinas Severson - Zidlicky Next in line: Harrold - Merril Schneider / Kinkaid 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're my making a different argument from what i responded to. You were implying a rebuild should take up to to 9 years, to which I disagreed.

I am not necessarily advocating for an overhaul, but I could be convinced either way. You forgot Coleman if you’re talking keepers. I’m COMPLETELY against trading Hall unless Ray knows for sure he can’t re-sign him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hit the post Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 If your Hall would you want to stay ? I think this rebuild is going to take longer then he's willing to wait. I think he gets traded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never said our rebuild shouldve been completed by now i didnt say that it should take 9 years, there's no exact number, depends on soooo many factors. I said that theirs took 9 years of drafting. And we were in worst shape than they were before those 9 years. So how would you make it faster?

He’s just being asked to do too much. They mentioned some stat showing he's given up four or more in a whole lot of games recently. That spurred my comment. I didn't realize it was that bad.

But he still gives you occasional games like against Nashville, or the 3 shutouts he’s had this season. I think he’d be fine if there was someone who could split starts with him. He just shouldn’t be counted on to be a #1 starter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If getting good takes a pathetic Toronto Maple Leaf-NINE years, then you’re doing it wrong. Well, towards the end of the Lou/Conte era, we were, which really has us behind the 8 ball now. 2012 - Lou insisted on keeping our first despite it being 29th overall and picks a grinder in Matteau. Current team getting no benefit from this pick. 2013 - traded the 9th overall pick for Schneider. It was a nice trade at the time but it’s safe to say the 2018 team is not benefitting from it. It’s actually a detriment 2014 - instead of getting the 13th overall pick, we select 30th due to Lou not giving up 29 in ‘12. We take Quenneville who may become a middle 6 player but not doing much for the current roster. 2015 - I remember Zacha, Barzal and Rantanen being the three names thrown around for our pick mainly because it was thought we were set on D with Larsson, Severson, Merrill and Gelinas. If they literally take either of the two other forwards or one of the D taken with the following two picks, things certainly look a lot brighter. We also got a little unlucky in 2016 that Chychrun fell so badly and there was a run on forwards before our pick.
