“Fraser Minten could be anything, he could even be a Scott Laughton!” Was the prevailing thought around trading what was perceived as a prospect with 3C potential as his absolute ceiling.
He has 14 goals, 29 points in 55 games as a 21 year old C. I think he’s far and away raised his ceiling, unfortunately for Toronto.

this kid made the team out of camp his rookie year and treliving tossed him out like one of his boston pizza deliveries

What a baller. I love Minten.
But we all know that he wouldn’t be this type of impactful with Toronto.
And don’t forget…. All the bruins fans wanted Sweeny fired last year at this exact same time.
Nobody guessed Florida would be where they are this year. Vancouver was a dream two years ago and so were the rangers.
Everyone just breathe and stop looking into our sports science director

if their first round pick ends up being good as well, this is easily worst trade in leafs history. this trade warrants an investigation of the GM lolol

Wow. Treliving asset management disaster class.

I’m still so angry about this trade

Minten is a beauty, but he’s way too good for Toronto at this moment in franchise history.

New Maple Leafs policy, don’t ever trade with Boston.

Ah he wouldn’t have been this good on the Leafs, they would have fucked up his development in some way.

Carlo is Norris cailbre defenseman so no biggie Chuck Norris that is. You want to punch him with an extra hand from your chin Family Guy style every time he plays the puck or breathes. FML hits differently for Leaf fans. .

MLSE corporate policy should be that their GM is not allowed to speak with the Bruins. They are way too smart and tough for the Leafs to deal with on or off the ice.

Dubas wasn’t perfect, but…..he wasn’t this bad lol

Brad just had to do it so he could go down with the others.

How is our pro scouting so bad, constantly not properly evaluating what we have in the minors as well as overvaluing the other NHLers that we end up acquiring. This isn’t just under Trieliving, it happened prior to him as well.
Few months ago idiots on here were saying this trade wasn’t that bad because Minten only had 8 goals or something. He would be the Leafs’ 2C in like 2-3 years

Have the Leafs won single trade with Boston?
Im not sure they’ve even come out equal
PostMatureBaby
On the Leafs he’d be under more of a microscope. Many flourish away from lame Toronto sports media

Best Deal was not making a deal with Boston.

Well, fuck.

Can people please stop stabbing me in the heart with these Minten posts?
It hurts too much and I’m already depressed by the state of the world. 🥲

I called it last year. Said we let a good one go and someone who could be a significant power forward up front for next 10-15 years. Carlo was worth a 2nd or 3rd and considerations
Watching him on the Blades WHL team as much as I have living here I was absolutely PISSED OFF AS FUCK Tre moved him seeing what he can do. He would’ve solved several issues we’re facing in years going forward but nah the Leafs gonna be Leafy. Fuckin love this team thanks to Cujo and Belfour sending Bowen & Ralph’s excitement through the roof but ARGH.
Question for anyone more knowledgeable than I. While trying to remove bias, with all stats available are we generally last/lose in trades we make league wide?
Obviously some trades we win, some we lose but we seem to make the wrong decisions non-stop. If Shanahan let Dubas have full control of our team, I’d like to think our line-up would be better off but we’ll never know because Shanny didn’t let Dubas do what he would like. The way we hemorrhaged picks for rental’s was 100% a Shanny idea. We’ll be absolutely toast yet again.

Berube would have played Minten 4th line at 8 minutes a night with frequent scratches. This is hard to watch, but our dumb fuck coach would have never gotten this type of play out of him
LivingLifeSomewhere
Its ok, we have Brandon Carlo!

I hated this trade when it happened but I could see the logic at the time. Obviously it hasn’t worked out but people pining for Dubas – the guy who let Hyman walk for nothing and traded Kadri for nothing – is kind of funny.

I pray we never make another trade with Boston.
