Vegas has good d, did they draft and develop all of them?

Marner will get around what Nylander got, when Tavares is up, they will have a big 3 making $35 mil and Reilly at a good deal considering the cap should be $98 mil in a couple years. Trade or draft, they can develop a good d.

Rasmus and Weegar good for us? Probably our best 2, 1 is a 2nd rounder one was acquired via trade. You don't have to UFA their d to fix it. Hanifin was acquired via trade and Tanev was a UFA.

Tons of top goalies are not 1st round picks too. Best position to draft stars outside the 1st round is goalies then D then forwards. They got the forwards.

Do they have all the answers now, no but their core is in their mid 20s.
If the Leafs don't make a deep run we can easily say who is right or wrong...they aren't just going to find a cup caliber D

they also have hardly any draft picks and will surely have even less after this season

"aquired via trade" Yeah do the Leafs have a spare Tkachuk laying around they have to trade lol

its exactly my point that they need to make a major trade or they aren't winning #### all

My guess is they continue with strong regular seasons and poor playoffs, their priorities are in the wrong places

quote it, call me out if I am wrong
