He made some good moves, and also one of the dumbest trades of all time that has left a catastrophically gaping hole down the middle. The team has been unwatchable for his first two years. He also has been in salary cap hell...so this year we need to see improvement.

that is a lot of money

Darcy Reiger looks like a genius compared to these guys in hindsight

I would like to see what Krueger can do with Risto before we ship him off.

Kessel went full survival mode. ?

Build an elite defense, get better goaltending, and improve 5 on 5 scoring and you can get back in the thick of it.

He’s a real NHL player... we haven’t had those in abundance in a decade.... I’ll take it

That, I believe has always been a possibility to consider

This is where Kruger comes in.... he has a knack for seeing out of the box

Ehlers...

He had 58 points with the Caps 3 years back until the injury bug hit.

Yeah that was never going to work. He’s not a 2 C... Yeah I know... my question was rhetorical in nature. That was as bad of move as I’ve ever seen.

How in the heck is it possible we are 5 years into the “rebuild” and we don’t have a #2C on this roster???? Wow has this team been grossly mismanaged.

No way it will be us.

I would love love love for someone to stick it to the Leafs

The ROR trade set us back 2-3 years as did GMTM horrible cap management. This year will be another wash unless Kruger makes some magic happen. Since no one is going to sign here, we have to draft our way out of this. What’s sad is Nylander and Mitts are big questions yet. If Cozens is who we think that is one. We might have to endure several years yet and more lotto picks. If we go into the season like this, 80-85 points would be my projection.

Maybe Kruger can coach us to 85 points and we can win the lotto. Maybe then by 2025 we can eclipse 96 points and win 1 playoff game. ?

Jbot did inherit a disaster. The ROR trade was a one step back for the one foot forward with Skinner. It's still going to take a few more years more than likely.

Leafs got a stud on the backend now?

Barrie is a stud. This is huge for the Leafs.

I couldn’t be mad at that.

Toronto May have took a small step back in order to sign Marner. NJ, NYR significantly better. The Preds get a much needed stud. Colorado better. Columbus is a dumpster fire. Buffalos’ defense sure looks better on paper while Winnipeg has big holes on defense.

Would love Ferlund at the right price

The Panthers FO is on drugs. Lol

Well I do know Columbus fans are feeling like we did in 07
