I'm not in love with Franson, but I see no reason to deal him for a 3rd round pick.

That's just giving him away.
- Atomic Wedgie

Ya thats not happening...

franson for a mid round pick is not a good deal for the leafs.

he can be had for more.
- Dozzer

It's pretty weird that everyone here is in agreement.

So.....

Franson is a Red Wing?

Gardiner to IR, Reilly gets his 5 games, Gardiner gets activated afterwards. Fraser will get cut before Kostka, Holzer and Frattin back to the Marlies for now.

That's 4 cuts.

and Orr has?

sorry.. keep Frattin.. he's of way more use than Orr
- Dozzer

Between the two, yes I agree....I'd rather have Frattin....but not on the 4th line.
Our bottom lines are clogged right now.

Unless you are showcasing Frattin to be traded than of course keep him on the team.

did the leafs not sign steve mcintyre?

why have him and Orr? or is Macintyre AHL bound

- poohcrumbs

They didn't sign Mac, I have no idea where that came from

That is BS, there were many regulars that had a worse camp, Frattin is a crash and bang player, can't play that way in scrimmages. I don't buy that BS for a minute.
- LeafMan

Ya the ones that had worse camps have been traded or waived.
We have a bunch of 3rd liners right now...dont need another one I guess.
Send him back to the Marlies until someone plays themselves off the leafs.
Dont worry it wont take long.

No, they thankfully did not

No, they thankfully did not

i was confused as to why they would

If they put Gardiner on IR is gonna be sometime before he's back..

- Fakepartofme

so who would you keep over him? steckel?

Watching tsn Ferraro is basically saying our D is horrible. I wouldn't consider to be that bad. Thoughts?
- Yeti1181

I honestly think its a pretty good D.

The problem I found was the it was Wilsons style and game plan that was run and gun, which the Dmen paid the price for. I could be wrong, but I find it almost pathetic how that D can be called horrible by supposedly knowledgeable hockey media.

Thats just my two cents though.

- Fruitcakenipple

1 week.

so who would you keep over him? steckel?
- Dozzer

no need for Stekel with McClement

so who would you keep over him? steckel?
- Dozzer

Why do we need Steckel?

We have McClemment.

so who would you keep over him? steckel?
- Dozzer

If steckel has earned it sure.
If Frattin hasn't earned the spot, than down he goes.
Its the leafs....it wont take long before someone plays themselves off the team....Frattin will be back up.
I just hope he wont be playing on the 4th line.

no need for Stekel with McClement
- poohcrumbs

McClement is staying. The coach loves him.

If steckel has earned it sure.

Injuries will sort all this out...

Drop Orr giving you 13 forwards, 2 goalies and carry 8 d.

Send Reilley back, unless Gardiner can't play tomorrow.

Make a decision on Kostka, Holzer and Fraser. There is absolutely zero point in keeping all 3 on the leafs. Ignore the waiver issue. If you lose one, then so be it. None of these gusy are allstars. I wish this was a bigger issue than is being made out, in terms of talent.

Gardiner to IR, Reilly gets his 5 games, Gardiner gets activated afterwards. Fraser will get cut before Kostka, Holzer and Frattin back to the Marlies for now.

- Leafland

Not convinced that RC gives Reilly five games

I honestly think its a pretty good D.

The problem I found was the it was Wilsons style and game plan that was run and gun, which the Dmen paid the price for. I could be wrong, but I find it almost pathetic how that D can be called horrible by supposedly knowledgeable hockey media.Thats just my two cents though.
- Gunslinger

They weren't.....it was Ferraro that said it.

James Mirtle ‏@mirtle
Hearing Rielly and Frattin will be the Leafs cuts today to get to 23-man roster. Practice starts at 11:30 so we'll know for sure then.

rielly makes sense.. send him back to junior to dominate.

frattin upsets me a bit.. then again.. he'll get more ice time with the marlies.. and if he's slumping.. ice time is what he needs.. not 4th line duties.

Gardiner to IR, Reilly gets his 5 games, Gardiner gets activated afterwards. Fraser will get cut before Kostka, Holzer and Frattin back to the Marlies for now.

That's 4 cuts.
- Leafland

Skip the 5 games....send Rielly back now.

Anyone here think Benn is worth risking a 1st round pick for...as in offer sheet?
