We had a few questions come in about Travis Dermott’s injury, but it looks like that’s since been cleared up.

However, we did have a suggestion for, well, this.

It goes without saying that just because you have the opportunity to do something, doesn’t mean you have to do something. As happy as most people have been with Dermott’s game of late, he’s still not quite the offensive talent that we’ve seen from Gardiner this season. While many people are looking ahead for Jake Gardiner’s next contract and wondering if he’ll be a cap casualty, he’s still currently at 49 points and showing no signs of slowing down. Dermott, on the other hand, would be on pace for 29 on the course of a full season. Of course, points aren’t the only way to evaluate a defenceman, but unless you’re getting an upgrade on Gardiner via trade, there isn’t any immediate urgency to move him or reason to believe that Dermott would immediately be able to fill his role.

The 2015-16 Marlies, as you might recall, finished first in the AHL with 114 points. Unfortunately, the Leafs finished last in the NHL with just 69 points, so that season’s out like a poor showing on Family Feud.

In 2007-08, the Marlies finished with 109 points, while the Leafs managed… 83. Yeah, the Leafs were bad for a while.

Last year, the Leafs put up 95 points for the first time in forever, but the Marlies posted an output of 89.

By process of elimination, it looks like… yep, this current total of 203 combined points makes the highest the two Toronto teams have ever collectively managed in a year together, so that’s a little something worth celebrating. Opa!

The Baha Men. Also the artists of this great, forgotten track.

It would be great if this were true.

But unfortunately for Toronto, both teams have good goalies who definitely could be better as of late. Won’t say it’s an advantage either way right now, really. Floating with numbers in the high .920s earlier in the season, Frederik Andersen’s save percentage has dipped all the way down to .917. Meanwhile, Vasilevskiy’s slide still sees him out in front at an overall save percentage of .919. While Vas has put up seven .900 or worse save percentage performances in the past ten games, Andersen himself has done that six times.

Neither goalie appears at their best right now, so we’ll call it a wash until we see what kind of form they’ll be pulling out in the playoffs.

They uh, don’t have one, Cindy.

If you haven’t figured out by now, this post was an April Fools’ joke:
