The only other team that would prob take on an uninsured contract is the team owned by the NHL....best of luck Lombo!

Uninsured contract isn't a problem.

until he gets injured?

Bad trade.

Lombardi was still usefull and was a good player.

If he was on the first line, he'd be sick.

















Just kidding. So (frank)ing long you soft useless pile of crap

Lombo move was a good first step, but we need to move more bodies still.

- JIMI-JAMES

And?? The team is paying him anyways. It's not that big of an issue.

People made a lot more of it than it was..... IMO they don't understand it.

Tons of people were saying he's untradeable due to it, but has since been traded twice. Seems not to be an issue.

Sun poll on the trade, 21% say they could have gotten more!!

There was that one game against Montreal where he played on Kessel's line for a full shift, and he scored a goal... Oh what could have been....

Really? 21% of people think that the Leafs could have got more than a potential 3rd round pick for Lombardi?

That was early in the season; I remember that. He was actually pretty hot for the first few games. Then Wilson probably destroyed him. Or he got checked once. Probably both.

Wilson: "Crap, dude.. Your fast and Kessel's fast too, that could work well together...Hmmm. I know, Lombo you are now going to play on a line with Steckel and Brown maybe you can make him faster."

Lombardi: "Well, gee coach I can't make anyone skate faster. Plus Stecks is more a faceoff guy too."

Wilson: "What do you mean you can't...That's it, you're benched"

"I would like to see Lombardi on the top line with Kessel. He's the only one who can keep up with him and he would bring some defensive responsibility to the top line. He might be the #1 center we've been looking for!" -Leaf fans last pre-season...

So true.

Going to a cottage this weekend, have Internet, bringing laptop. How reliable are CBC's game streams?

it isn't a problem if the team has deep pockets like the leafs and the nhl owned coyotes.... otherwise an insurance company that pays the injured player's wages becomes very important

I've never had a problem with them. Of course alot has to do with your internet provider. And location where you are.

True dat. This is a pretty solid connection, they regularly watch Netflix on it without issue.

Early??? Like first period of first game early?

They aren't. Can be choppy and slow. And I have pretty good internet, so it's not on my end.

not really..... people said he couldn't be traded. Has since been twice.

How does NHL owned Phoenix have deep pockets?? The 29 other teams are footing the bill.

yeah ok burn

methinks it was an "incase Gillis comes back to earth" move...but also realizing how many players the Leafs have in their bottom six right now, too. Connolly is next...hes not a Carlyle kinda guy.
- Colin Dambrauskas

They would trade him in a heartbeat if they could, which they can't.

Unless they have a pressing need for capspace, they might just kepe him around for depth. He'll see a lot of time in the pressbox.

Lombardi clears cap room and yeah, the Leafs may be going after Luongo, but I really don't think the two are related. The Leafs have about 7893424 minor-league-calibre guys fighting for 6 positions on the 3rd and 4th lines.

yeah ok burn
- JIMI-JAMES

What?? Traded twice an untradedable contract...... but yeah ok.

I really hope things go absolutely awful the first game and the "Lets go Jays chants" start again.
- DTF69

Prediction for Saturday.

Reimer starts, the score is 2 or 3 - 0 for the Habs after 1 period.

Scrivens replaces Reimer after the 1st.

The Habs win 6-2.

The Leafs trade for Luongo.
