Johnsson traded to the Devils

So you think we paid Marner or Matthews fair value? I sure the hell don't think so and I said it then we were going to be fun'd because of it and now you're seeing that.

Matthews, yes. Marner, no. I think 9 would have been a good contract for him but it is what it is and he's still a 94 point guy. And we're not fun'd. There are lots of teams up against the cap. Dubas has done a nice little dance here and improved the team and future while disposing of the underachieving while keeping the big 4, aka the core, together.

No we aren't.

Every team in the league who paid their players fair value got screwed. Every team who didn't trade players who ended up having not great seasons got screwed. The Leafs don't operate in a vacuum. Most cap teams are dealing with some level of fallout for things that couldn't have been predicted when those deals were signed.

Also, I'm fairly certain Azzurri would be bitching about trading JVR/Bozak as they were making the playoffs if they missed or got bounced. "Missed opportunity, could've given playoff experience to the kids, wasted a year for no reason when they were on the cusp etc." Doesn't matter when everything is viewed when looking back at it rather than in the moment, the person in charge can only do wrong. Anyone who thinks they're right 100% of the time or act like they have all the answers vs. someone else without any justification is basically full of you know what.

I'm saying your schtick of doing literally nothing but saying how right you are all the time either by actually being right or, more usually, using revisionist history, continues to be nothing short of grating.
