grimsbylander Posted December 9, 2016 Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 Glad you mentioned that Rick...I agree. The Leafs are playing some great hockey at times which we never saw before...ever. When they go out and swamp a team and lose to a good goalie, I love it! No points and some great play! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillM Posted December 9, 2016 Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 Yup, even with a loss there's always a positive. I just like the fact that the boys are way more consistent. It's going to be a great couple of years! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKRISONER Posted December 9, 2016 Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 (edited) i literally had forgotten how much I enjoyed watching hockey...and now for the first time in probably 5 years i am enjoying watching again.

manitoubass2 Posted December 9, 2016 Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 (edited) 8 games played, 0 goals and 1 assist, -2 Hes a talented player but lately he cant crack the roster. Smart move??? Im not sure yet He WAS a player that should be putting up 30-40 pts Maybe he doesnt fit the current system?

grimsbylander Posted December 9, 2016 Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 One of those deals you can't criticize until you see what you get back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRIFTER_016 Posted December 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 One of those deals you can't criticize until you see what you get back. We did give up a pretty high draft pick to get him not that long ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tb4me Posted December 11, 2016 Report Share Posted December 11, 2016 One of those deals you can't criticize until you see what you get back. I read that he has to sign a contract extension or be traded in order for the leafs to get a 6th round pick in return.. So basically if he does what he did in Toronto we get nothing in return..

jimmer Posted December 12, 2016 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 It's the best for Holland. I don't like when a team buries a player. He has shown some flashes in the past and deserves a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmer Posted December 13, 2016 Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 The Leafs would have to go on quite the roll over the next month if they are thinking about making the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acountdeleted Posted December 13, 2016 Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 They should just keep doing what they are doing. If nothing changed they would pick 5th now? Apparently the top D man could be had in the top 9. Sounds like everyone is going for a Forward this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leaf4 Posted December 13, 2016 Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 Yes we could definitely use a top 5-10 d man... Another guy who pans out like Reilly and we have a pairing that's potentially similar to doughty/muzzin arguably the best D pairing in the league, in my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acountdeleted Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 Keep an eye on Hauge and Foote. Looks like one of these two will be who the leafs are gunning for. There is a stud from the Swedish elite league. But he is projected to go 2nd overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
