We're done. There isn't much left to trade (to others).

Well, I wouldn't be so sure... Just because a player is popular doesn't mean they won't be traded. If the right deal comes along anything's possible. Plus there are always draft picks and prospects.

IMO, TO got screwed over in the trade for leech... what did u get?? a washed up D-man and a unconditional pick for what? 2 good prospects and a 1st rounder next year and a 2nd rounder the year after??

way too much to give up for leech...

The prospects were nothing special. They were never going to be elite. The draft this year is very weak and there won't be much left by the time its our pick. Finally, the pick next year may be nothing as we may not have a season.

Btw, Leetch has made our power play 2-2 so far with 2 points. Sounds worth it to me. :p

This isn't the time of year that you can swap an extra defenceman for a winger or do any other retooling. It's too late for that.

The sellers (who are out of the playoff hunt) want to move their high priced talent and get youth and/or picks.

The buyers want to exchange some of their youth to get players who can help now without losing anybody off their roster.

Toronto has some young guys that should be untouchable. I wouldn't trade Stajan for anything. He's a young kid, who's polite, respectful and defensively responsible. You don't see that very often until they're much older.

Toronto doesn't have a lot of picks left. Last years Nolan trade sent away our some of our 2004 picks and Leetch sent away our 1st rounder for 2004 (although probably no higher than the 22nd overall pick) and a 2nd rounder for 2005.

I wouldn't want to move Coliacavo or Hedin. Young defencemen are always valued. They were higher up on the depth chart than Kondratiev. I really don't know where Immonen fit in but it couldn't have been that high up at all.

"This isn't the time of year that you can swap an extra defenceman for a winger or do any other retooling. It's too late for that."

Is that why all the blockbuster trades happen at the deadline? I mean, even big-name players can be traded for other big-name players. No one's untouchable (well, unless they have a no-trade clause... and even then they can waive it). Don't automatically assume that Toronto is done just because you like all their players.

Take you time and go through this list:

Then tell me which were exceptions to my trade deadline deal rules.

1. The sellers (who are out of the playoff hunt) want to move their high priced talent and get youth and/or picks.

2. The buyers want to exchange some of their youth to get players who can help now without losing anybody off their roster.

LMFAO! Those are from this year! Not last year! Look at the wire deals. You're talking about the future deals, correct, not the present deals? You say there's not a snowflake's chance in hell that Toronto is going to trade anymore, correct? Just go through and look at the wire trades from previous years. It'd be naive to assume that Toronto is done for sure. They may be done, but how you can say they're done for sure is beyond me.

LOL 5-1 Buffalo over TO...

Leaf fans should have their blood pressure checked on the way into the arena. When they win, they win but when they lose.. ah, man, do they lose.

I suppose the most determined optimist would post the Leetch did get another point. God, I make myself sick... :x

We seem to play up for the tough ones but when it should be an easy 2 we always find a way to blow it. :(

    • AI is indeed eliminating jobs, and Oracle just proved it

      By +DDG3595 · Posted

      AI is the justification that company administrators use to lay people off; it is not the end all, be all touted in the media (many of whom can't tell a microchip from a potato chip). Greed is main driving factor behind its adoption; the other is remaining relevant in the face of competition from other entities.

    • Firefox 152.0.2 is out with fixes for performance, translation, and cloud storage services

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Firefox 152.0.2 is out with fixes for performance, translation, and cloud storage services by Taras Buria A new bug-fixing update is now rolling out to Firefox users in the Release Channel. Less than a week ago, Mozilla fixed crashes on Intel Raptor Lake processors with version 152.0.1. Now, Mozilla has prepared yet another set of fixes that address problems with localization, playback issues of certain MP4 files, and performance issues on website that perform various encryption operations at once. Here is the full changelog: Firefox 152.0.2 is now available for download from Mozilla's FTP. Existing installations will get the update over the next several hours. The latest version will also be available soon on the official website, the Microsoft Store, and Neowin's Software page. You can find Firefox 152.0.2 release notes in the official documentation. In case you missed it, Mozilla released Firefox 152 earlier this month. The latest feature update brought reworked settings with a more streamlined user interface, JPEG XL support, new features for Private mode, a new way to mute a tab (just type "mute" in the address bar), and many more. You can find the complete changelog here. In other Firefox news, Mozilla recently published its roadmap, where the company detailed the upcoming Nova redesign and other features it plans to implement. Mozilla wants to make the new user interface easier to navigate and more modern, with a heavy focus on its privacy tools, such as its built-in VPN. If you are curious, you can already enable the new UI as described here.
