Other than the last game i would take back Dion over Bouw anyday. At least we know he will give it his all coming down the stretch.
Has anybody actually seen Toronto this year? They are horrible. They are basically a younger version of the last 2 flames roster. The only difference is that they don't have a goaltender that will win them games and make them 9th-10th place team.
If i was Toronto i would not trade for Loungo. Tank the season and get a good draft pick.

He COULD be a good 2nd pairing guy. But right now he's playing like a sub 2nd pairing. The Leafs always were doing well with offense, in particular this year. Much like the Oilers, their own zone is the problem. When your captain is the essence of a pylon defensively and a black hole offensively, yes it's pretty bad.
As for him giving his all down the stretch, I have to really disagree with that. Part if it might be that he's actually engaged, but with half assed readings on the play, he's not that effective whenever he "brings his all". I've watched a fair number of of Leafs games and the thing that stuck out for me aside from his weird skating is he looks like gliding with wet noodles for arms.
