Trading Hronek was always kinda a head scratcher last year, cause he still had term, was affordable, and pretty good. But I guess the 1st was too alluring to pass up. Imagine we don't: We no longer have the money to spend on Holl and Fischer. With Fischer gone, Berggren probably actually joins the roster at some point. We don't get ASP, Cleveland, and Bicker, but regain our 4th rounder. Having a 3rd puck mover at D probably really helps our offense (all 3 D pairings can score). But boy ASP looks good. If ASP isn't good this trade will look pretty regarded in hindsight. though I like Cleveland and Bicker too, they're just long shots. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't get me wrong, I completely understand why they traded him and I'm not upset that they did. I'm just watching Vancouver and Boston and he's on another level this season .

Barrie 900 Report post Posted February 9 I guess the latest from Maple Leafs fans is Connor McDavid is going to sign in Toronto when he becomes a UFA. I was called tool, when I said that won't happen. I guess it'll work because Tavares and Marner off the books soon. McDavid will want $15 Million a year. I guess Leafs fans learned nothing the past 7 years paying 4 forwards $40 Million? They think paying 3 forwards $40 Million will win them a Cup? It's very difficult to have a reasonable hockey conversation in the Toronto market, Leafs fans are just plain stupid 1 1 Dabura and Motor City Mullets reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A tougher schedule the rest of the month? What does that even mean? Tougher than last month? When we went 3-0 on a Western Conference road swing?
