Exactly. It's why I laugh when people say "WE TRADE GIBBONS FOR TAYLOR BIGGS!!!!.. FIRE BOURKE... FIRE NOUNIS!!!"
Uh. no. We traded a draft pick.

No one is saying that.
Just an interesting fact.

I would laugh at the above as well...as it appears as if a 6 year old wrote it.

Liar.

I was kidding lol

Funny thing, that 7th rounder is outperforming a lot of goalies taken, Sparks is having a great year, goalies are hard to read for the most part, Subban crapped the bed in the WJC.
- LeafMan

Yep Sparks is having a great year hopefully he can keep building on it...See drafting golatenders is a great plan...

Leafs should do that more often..

burke spoke a lot about truculence, but gave up the option of drafting 2 truculent guys over 1

Welcome to Leafs Nation.

Where people get so upset, they don't even know how to spell most of our players names right.

Komisrik
Connally
Colbourne
Bozack


....

Owuya, Rynnas, Scrivens and Sparks.


What are we in need of? A goalie prospect, or size and grit who will most likely make the Leafs?


Like I said, what makes you think Gibbons would be a Leafs prospect right now if we didnt trade up?
- jbold

Like I said, I dont neccessarily.....its just interesting thats all.
No need to start crying and throwing hissy fits.

When is Luongo coming to the Leafs???

never hopefully

When is Luongo coming to the Leafs???

Hopefully not this season. Let Gillis choke on his words and cap for the year.

2004 Pekka Rinne was drafted in the 8th round.



That same draft, Montoya, Dubnyk, Schwarz, were taken in the first round.


Other loser goalies were also drafted before Rinne.


Just because Gibson was drafted in the 2nd round and had a solid WJC, doesn't mean he's going to be some great goalie..

Ah man, you kids still going on about this?
Gawd its so easy to get you people going, it just takes the fun out of it.
Nobody is saying the bolded part....as leaf fans we know WJC tending doesn't always really translate to much in the NHL (see Pogge).

Pigs fly all the time...They actually ship them all over the world on plane...


LOL..I have delivered them to Pearson many times..

Im sorry but which young players do we have that are remotely going to do anything like the Sedins and Kessler. Our farm system is horrendous. I would trade our farm system for the Leafs any day of the year. Gillis hasnt produced a single NHL'r. The one he did produce he has traded (Cody).

If we dont win the cup in a 2 - 3 years we are done for a few years. The only team to have rebuilt on the fly was the wings. They replaced Yzerman shanny with dats and zetterberg. It was a brilliant job by Holland
- Bluechip23

thank you!

Somebody on the Nucks thread said that Gillis has had a strong history in the 1st round... wouldn't listen to logic
