I...can't tell if you're serious or not. He's not a very efficient scorer, and for a guy who was drafted to be a three-point sniper he really hasn't been. He might still be a three-point sniper in time, he might still end up being a very useful role player for a good team at some point but I haven't seen anything yet that says he should be untouchable. Kind of seems like just a guy to me so far. Scored a lot early because the team had so many injuries, but struggles to get his offense off when he's playing alongside some decent talent. Great name though. Endless fun.
-
There's nobody on this Raptors team I would consider untouchable. They are a ways away from real championship talent. The only guys I think can be championship level starters are Barnes (as a glue guy, Jack of all trades, NOT as a first or second scoring option) and Poeltl can find a place on any well built championship team. Quickley I think is better suited in the role he had in New York but is way too overpaid for that now. RJ is too inefficient and too expensive and not nearly good enough defensively. The other guys are just other guys.
-
It might be the most shocking trade I've ever seen. Superstar for superstar and it came out of absolutely nowhere.
-
Well yeah if it had come to that, I don't know where he is in terms of his desperation to have one more go at it versus retirement but clearly there was still a major league offer in a starting rotation available. I would think there were still a few clubs that would be willing to offer him a starting job, maybe not necessarily contenders but clubs hoping to flip him at the deadline at the very least.
-
Why would he retire when there are teams that are still willing to employ him? At the end of the day I'm sure he knows that there are question marks about him and for good reason, but all he's got to do is prove himself until the trade deadline.
-
Well he has his limitations in terms of what he can pick and choose at least to start the season. It has to be a team that's ready to guarantee him a rotation spot, and is willing to spend at least 15 million dollars on him clearly. Other more preferred destinations may not have been able to make those guarantees or just didn't have faith in his health or ability at this point to be an impact arm. He's not in the position to choose like he was before but I doubt he's nearly as concerned about where he starts the season, he just needs a chance to get in with a contender by the end.
-
It would be no different if the Blue Jays were a terrible team or a contending team, it's a one year contract with low money so if the year is going terribly he gets traded to a contender. He ends up on a contender either way as long as he's healthy and doesn't completely suck.
-
While I think we should be rebuilding, this contract works either way. It's a one-year contract with no downside. If he sucks it doesn't matter, if he's good it either helps the front offices' playoff ambitions or he's tradable at the deadline. I don't approve of the direction but I approve of this deal.
-
Well this will not go down as my favourite Monday in history.
-
Defense continues to be a concern for this team. Offensively in particular but even defensively I'm not sure they're much better. If not for their goaltending they would be a less entertaining version of the team they've been before. If only this team had a true number one defenseman, it would really make them a top tier contender. As it stands now they're in the second tier with a lot of teams, they need everything to fall their way and some brilliant goaltending.
-
Have I been fooled into joining some sort of Red Sox cult? If you're going to brainwash me at least make me into a Dodgers fan please. -
**** **** Bitch Cock Dick Pussy Retard ******* Slut Whore ********** Mother****er Tits POS ****** Many still made it through. The longer version of the gay f slang didn't make it but the three letter f-word did ( I self edited that, I'm not trying to start a war LOL)

I think most people at this point expect to be disappointed, the surprise would be if we weren't. Maybe casuals will flip out, I don't know, but people here understand the reality is likely to be disappointing. But I think the time to decide on a concrete path is before the season.
-
I'm fine with most of what you've said, except Bregman, I don't want him. Sign Burnes or forget the whole thing in my mind. We need a front line arm at the front of the rotation. All these things are very unlikely to happen together, but at least there would be hope for next year if we really must.
-
I'm more confident about the goaltending than I've ever been with the current core. Lack of offence from the defence, particularly a RH shooting offensive defencemen has been an ongoing deficiency for them. Especially in the postseason, shots from the point that get through are vital. They still need to address that.

Merry Christmas, you filthy animals!

Have a good whatever you celebrate. May all your nuts roast on an open fire...or however that goes. -
I'd bet Jets over everybody except Edmonton right now. Even betting Edmonton over them is irrational but I just have that much faith in McDavid. I might put Vegas ahead of them also, they play a proven playoff style.
-
Oh come on now, I'm actually an optimist with the Maple Leafs. I wouldn't have them in my top four or five favorites to win the cup, but they're in that second tier. If the goaltending stays healthy, they have a shot.

He will find what we all find: They're overrated.

Trade him and Bo YESTERDAY

99% of this thread is you talking to yourself. I'll help out and start contributing here since the Leafs actually have a chance to accomplish something. As far as Matthews and his glass body, they should take no chances with him. Don't rush the franchise player.
-
I don't care about anything else today. Baseball lost a legend, and another piece of my childhood dies. Rest easy Ricky and thank you.

We already have back of the rotation guys. If we are capitulation to having a mid team I'd rather just blow it completely up. The middle of the pack is the absolute worst place to be and this team with additions like that given the needs we have would basically be the definition of mid. I guess if it's like a 1-year deal you can always flip him at the deadline if things go well, you could make that argument. But generally I think we need to pick a more concrete path.
