    If there was one statement that showed the difference between us and the leafs as a franchise, this is it. The culture is simply just different here.

    Which is what a bunch of us were saying about Kadri.

    I fully trust Kent. He’s been fantastic since he got here.

    We’re lucky to have such a smart GM. Too bad a small but highly vocal glue sniffing part of our fanbase can’t understand that transacting for the sake of transacting is NOT how you get closer to championships.

    The man has a plan. Good mindset.

    Let me rub that beautiful bald head for my gratitudes

    @MapleLeafs and their Laughton trade lmao. Even valid for the Islanders ngl

  10. InitialSerious9988

    I like Kadri a lot… but he isn’t the right fit for this team right now.

  12. jonezsodaz

    Smart also we are in a good position now to attract players a lot of guys probably look at this young team and would want to sign here no need to make bad trades.

  13. Oracle-of-Guelph

    Given how much success we’ve had drafting why wouldn’t we keep doing it?

    Thank god Kent Hughes is our GM and not mr.iwontwatchanothergamethisseasonbecausewedidnttradeourpicksforschenn (i saw one of those on twitter lmao)

    I agree, but I do wish we got Whitecloud

    This has to be one of the most refreshing things to see during this rebuild, is having a competent GM who doesn’t allow the noise from the outside distract his decision making. I’ve never experienced this level of competency in our front office before. I’ve been watching this team since the late 90’s.

    This is the right mentality for where the team is. Teams like Colorado, Minnesota, Dallas, etc. have a more complete ready to win roster, and are going to be more aggressive, so it’s not wise to get into bidding wars when patience is still a good strategy considering where the strength of this team exists.

    The core of this team is improving every year and is locked up long term, there are years to be more aggressive at the deadline, I don’t think this was the one. While there are things I wouldn’t have minded seeing, overall I can’t be too upset and doing nothing.

    Some people may be upset by the lack of moves, but Hughes has shown a willingness to take calculated big swings. He’s had 4 offseasons as GM, and has acquired Dach, Newhook, Laine and Dobson each off season, so if there’s one thing I’m not worried about, it’s Hughes sitting around doing nothing .

    I was for getting somebody to help now but not a rental that costs a shit ton.

    Good for them for not straying from the plan.

  22. Unhappy_Umpire6679

    10 years ago there’s management would have gone balls deep and given away every single elite prospect and/or high draft picks PLUS a few NHLers for Thomas/Kadri/PICK YOUR POISON. Hughes/Gorton are ELITE

  23. snark_enterprises

    Good, still one of the biggest brain GMs in the game

  24. TheCatelier

    That makes me trust him so much. He’s really showing he can remain rational no matter how intense and emotional a trade deadline can be. He’s laser focused no matter what.
