I dunno Jared, I think I have to disagree, Last year I was ok when we lost. Now I wasn’t hoping to lose ala the Tanking crowd, but rather happy if we won and ok with it if we lost.

This year just hurts. Every damn day. I love having Kessel, I’ve liked the kid every since I saw him play in the world jrs for the USA. And I understand this is like basically saying that we got our player early out of the draft but knowing that our losing is directly benefiting the bruins… well that just hurts.

ok, so say the leafs didnt have kessel and infact were currently dead last in the NHL, they draft taylor hall.
and hall turns out to be Daigle, or Stephan

what then? what do we have?

No I get that. And I don’t want to have that argument, because Im on your side about it. I like Kessel.

But you were around last year. The feeling after each loss around here wasn’t near as bad as it has been this year.

so if the leafs get Marleau (very big if) he wont make a big impact?
Or bourque if he has a season like the one he is having?
maybe a goalie like Ellis instead of toskala?

I’m more and more getting turned off on the idea of Marleau, and I’m probably more convinced then ever even if he gets to UFA he won’t sign with the Leafs.

In general, post lockout, it seems to take at least 3-4 years for franchises to build competitive teams. We’re in the gutter; adding Marleau, if he has any interest in signing to a bottom feeder at the peak of his career. I can’t see him making a huge impact, just like 3 years of post lockout Sundin didn’t get us into the playoffs.
