maple leafs pull off master stroke or is this just another trade of mediocrity?

tbh i was thinking the same thing, cant believe they actually made a move like this ngl it's gotta be a step in the right direction or else they're just getting desperate again

@MapleLeafs71 I'm with you on being skeptical but let's see how this Nick Blankenburg kid pans out - he was flying in camp last year before getting hurt. Maybe the Leafs finally address their D woes.

yeah proven guys at this price is a fantasy, and we got enough of that with simmonds imo

yeah ikr @danM88 brings up a good point about blankenburg, maybe he can be that spark on d ngl its something at least

yeh @danM88 brings up a good point about blankenburg, maybe he can be that spark on d, but at the end of the day we still need someone who can stay healthy man

tbh health has been our biggest problem for years @luke_mapleleafs, so getting guys who can stay on the ice is a major upgrade man
