Matthews34 1,161 Posted October 11 Share Posted October 11 We have the assets to aquire Weegar, whether that's making a package around Dermott, Engvall and a pick or Liljegren and a higher pick hopefully Dubas can pull that off. We'd finally be able to say we have a legitimate blueline. Link to post Share on other sites

Bogosian (in Buffalo) and Brodie have massive brain fart moments so I don't really like it like it. But I'll be fine giving this d core a chance. One thing you cant say is Dubas doesnt make changes and try to adapt. We're injecting some grit into our lineup. If we get Weeger somehow we have a legitimately solid d core. Bogo in Buffalo was a toxic situation. They didn't want him, he didn't want to be there. His time in Tampa is more along the lines of what he's capable of Link to post Share on other sites
Dog Taker 5,213 Posted October 11 Share Posted October 11 i really think moving dermott will end up being a mistake tbh. he's also gonna come in under 1.5.... he has no arb rights. Link to post Share on other sites

I too think Dermott has a higher ceiling than Holl, but if we have to lose him to get Weegar, i'm okay with it. But again, why would Florida want Dermott or Holl, when they signed Gudas....

Then again, we’re talking about a team with a 70M mistake in net so who knows. Link to post Share on other sites

Players actually want to play here again. 1 hour ago, 1_new_name said: GREAT Signing. Dubas is fucking killing it right now. I can say, unequivocally that THIS is a signing I'm happy about. Literally a no-risk move to have a guy like this on a 1-year deal for peanuts. I've now gone from cynical to excited about this free agency season. Dubas has done well.

Not sure how he'll do in Edmonton with their garbage defense/goalies... Last thing they need is an offensive defender, but.. oh well.. Yes, I don’t think Tyson Barrie is a good fit in Edmonton but as long as he isn’t coming back to the Leafs, I’m okay with it. Link to post Share on other sites
PIPERSMAN63 9,104 Posted October 11 Share Posted October 11 Edmonton is in a pretty good proximity to Colorado. Pretty sure Barrie still has a place there. Link to post Share on other sites

Beodie is a legit #2 and Bogosian possibly a top 4. What the fuck isn't there to like, like? Lol. Jesus christ. The defense appears to be improved significantly and for a total of 6M dollars and you're all wwll I don't like, like it but if we could a #5 defenseman then I'd love it👍 Link to post Share on other sites

I still think/hope there's another trade coming to bring in Weegar. Rielly - Brodie Muzzin - Weegar Lethonen - Bogosian I'd be real happy with that blueline...

Does Dubas have a great track record in bringing in players? We have to rely on your opinion, which might, or might not be correct? We'll wait and see, is the right answer. BTW, I was wrong. Dubas doesn't and hasn't sat on his hands, but now we have to wait and see if all these moves make a significant difference. Edited October 11 by JockDent Link to post Share on other sites
Morrison7 12,202 Posted October 11 Share Posted October 11 "Dubas needs to address the right side of the defence, make the team tougher, and needs to add a veteran to the room." *Dubas adds Brodie, Simmonds, and Bogosian* “Why wouldn’t we be cautious? Now we have to wait and see if all these moves make a significant difference.” For sure JD, the Leafs should have just ran back the same roster so you could complain about them doing nothing instead.

I apologized for saying Dubas sat on his hands. Apologies are completely foreign to you, so STFU, Morrie. Edited October 11 by JockDent StepOnYou 1 Link to post Share on other sites
StepOnYou 162 Posted October 11 Share Posted October 11 (edited) I like some of these moves. I don't think Kyle is done. I do think that there might be one more top 4 D RHD to get. He can possibly do that towards the trade deadline or if the opportunity is there he'll pull the trigger. I still think the LHD log jam is a bit of an issue. He either will move on from Dermott or he'll use Sandin in a trade. I get the feeling that Liljegrin may never get an opportunity with TOR. Rielly Brodie Muzzin ______ Lehtonen Holl Sandin Bogosian I think that Bogosian will be used like Tampa used him: number 6/7. I really like Holl, but he's just a 5/6.

JockDent 1,009 Posted October 11 Share Posted October 11 I, too, would like to see one more rugged, defensive RHD added, but perhaps it's too much to ask at this time. Link to post Share on other sites
