leafs team vs blue jackets comparison

[ultimatematt82]

After today's trade I honestly think Columbus has a better team than the leafs as they have some good 2 way players, solid and very deep Dman and equal goaltending

Dubinsky, arismov, foligno, brassard, umberger, prospol, johanason, Atkinson I kinda like there top 6 2 way wise than the leafs
And Dman wise jack Johnson, erixton, Murray, tyitin, aucion, wizneiski, and few others is very comparable if not better than leafs

These guys have lots to look forward to. And 3 first round draft picks next year

Goaltending mason is a toss up like Reimer but leafs probably have some edge

Leafs have a better offense but 2way wise need to get better and we have less to look forward to other than Gardiner and I guess jvr

Love the leafs but it's little sad to look at Columbus an see more potential on their NHL roster than us

I m hoping Kadri, frattin, colborne come around but I don't think they will be given proper chance unless we prepared to go last place.
Our centres are packed up. Leafs will need to get rid of Connelly at any cost, Lombardi, bozak probably too. And give these guys a good shot. Otherwise in my eyes I don't see the potential the same way as I do with Columbus.

What u think?

[ultimatematt82]

Maybe we should see what we can get with kessel and phaneuf and things could get better

Detroit looking for top winger and a Dman
What u think
Kessel and phaneuf to Detroit for
Franzen (top 2 center) and filipula or something

This is an extremely poor trade for the leafs.

[ultimatematt82]

Well actually probably get best value getting multiple players/prospects in 2 seperate deals ...

no to trading kessel or Phanuef.

Johansen is a legit #1C, Brassard will be a good #2 centre and Dubi will be a great winger on the second line. I like their team after this trade but they still need 1 or 2 more good drafts to make up for the last few years.

If they can land a Bouwmeester and their goaltending improves then i think they are a quality team. If i were them i would take a flyer on Semin and let him play with Johansen. If the Jackets are a lottery team then they will be in a very good spot.

They have a good team but not better then the leafs, although that all depends on how they goaltending does.

... Columbus better than the Leafs.
No.

[ultimatematt82]

I hope so....think I'm just down that we are a patch work team with not much hope for our farm. No one legit top forwards

[ultimatematt82]

Maybe burkes job will be Columbus ... His type of team and small market lol

[ultimatematt82]

And that Detroit proposal...well franzen and filipula is starting point plus young talent maybe Howard too lol

[OptiMized]

I don't like Franzens contract and i don't know much about Filipula.

I wouldn't even trade Phanuef for them TBH. I am very content building with Phanuef and Kessel.

Franzen is hurt all the time .....so no thank you

[ultimatematt82]

Fair enough

[ktownguy31]

Kessel has value and detroit doesnt have that value to trade us..hes still a kid i dont get the under valueing..reguardless of what certain posters say on here he has more value then nash because of age ...ii say kessel hits 40 this yr 90 pts..it may be laughable to some to me its just a prediction

[ultimatematt82]

Ur right
