Nah, like many have said, this likely wasn't the year to go all in. Leafs can still do some damage, get experience, build character and chemistry, and try again in two years. Next year might be a rough one.

Yeah I don't know why so many seem surprised by the lack of moves from Tree today. They have too many holes to patch up at the deadline. Of course anything can happen in the playoffs but they aren't likely to go deep this year. Keeping his bullets for the off-season.

ya but 2.7M for a 6/7 guy is going to jam up their cap space.

I'm not complaining.

Exactly
Hope it fails. But it could work

Edmundson > Dumba and more of what the Leafs needed.

I’m ok with Tre’s deal and am glad he didn’t get Dumba.

Yeah, man. It's good stuff.

Pretty sure there's a game tonight at 7pm, if anyone wants to give it a look-see. Vs Montreal.

They provide different things, munster is a bigger net presence, just not gonna move the puck well.

Galactic saying there may be a 7th as well.

I just don't seem Dumba making a big difference. What they really need is a time machine to replace current subpar Vasi with Conn Smythe Vasi.

And Edmundson is actually a $3.5 mill d man. Montreal signed him, retained half his salary when moving him to Washington, who held another 50% moving him to Toronto.

Toronto is literally paying $875K for a $3.5 mill d man and people are whining about the trade… I mean…. wow.

Like, summer 2024, or 2025? I think he'll be fairly handcuffed this summer with Nylander's new contract kicking in and Tavares still on the books. We're basically squad wiping our tendies, and, yes, Brodie comes off the books, but you have to replace him, too. I haven't given up on Brad, but it'll take him a bit to salvage what Dubas left him.

Treliving needs to trade our bad players for good players and have other teams retain salary so that our new good players make less than our old bad players.

Roslovic to Rangers, eh?

I thought he was pretty bad in Columbus. Maybe he gets a boost changing teams again.

5th rounder for Dumba and a 7th.

Not terrible, but still not a fan.

- GalacticStone

diff between a 5th and 7th is tiny.

Yup hence the 5th the leafs paid.
Cheap big D with net pressence, its what the leafs needed.

I hate Edmundson as much as the next guy, but even I agree with that.

Yup! He’s precisely what they needed.

Nothing fancy but a good addition to their defensive game at a super cheap cost
