Ryan Rishaug was joined by TSN Director of Scouting Craig Button to get his thoughts on the Maple Leafs trading for defenceman Chris Tanev, the flurry of moves made by the Lightning on Saturday, and the spectacle put on by the NHL having the draft at the Sphere in Las Vegas.

I think this was a good move yes he's 34 but that not old and he's a right hand defence like we need

@guyh.4121 2 күн бұрын

Yes ,Tanev is “Exactly” what the Leafs need. Another oft injured part time player. Tanev’s only had “One” full season played in his career, and that was the 21/22 season.

@wainber1 Күн бұрын

I hope Tanev will turn out to be that quality d-man who Button claimed the Leafs had needed. Time will indeed tell whether Tanev will have the stamina to provide that quality because as a mid-30-something, there's a risk of injury that's often greater than for d-men in their 20s or late-teens.

Good move I just hope it’s only for a few years not 5 or 6 like what I’m hearing

@@scottmcfarlane7524 he was awesome for Dallas . He has a few years left for sure but not 5 or 6. I’d say he’s got a good 3 years of good hockey left and then after that he will be 37 and slowing down lots. He’s a great defensive Defensemen perfect guy you want in playoffs. One of the best at blocking shots , great penalty killer abs a right hand shot leafs need so bad. Hopefully we can get another good D man and a goalie and we should be good . Roy would be a good gritty pickup as well . I’d like montour or pesche but pesche is likely going to jersey and Montour going to want big money likely .

@scottmcfarlane7524 if it's a long contract it's to lower the AAV and he goes on LTIR if he can't play anymore. Why worry about it?

First check out the 13th pick in the draft on KZfaq. Funny ! Having said that Leafs have the Hype machine in full gear and the player isn't even here. Treliving hired him before so they have a history. He will be 35, in a few months and I am hearing a 5 year deal ?

I think the Leafs biggest issue is lack of heart and drive, not talent or big names.

@user-fc2tj8lf2m 2 күн бұрын

Its a bit of both for sure. In terms of their stars yes they are absolutely lacking heart, but that's not a throughout the entire lineup problem. That is a cap space problem due to yet again the core 4.

@MisterMister5893 Күн бұрын

You have players like Robertson and Knies who have heart but they're not going to win you games. There needs to be a balance but we kind of had that last season with ORielly and Ascari but they chose to leave. Let that sink in.

After watching the most recent Stanley cup it should be more obvious than ever that goaltending is extremely important. Joseph woll is an amazing back up because he can string 3/4 good games in a row together but that’s it. He’s not reliable, he’s never played more than 40 games, stop wasting season after season and go get a real goalie.
