Rielly...... it's the right move.

(frank) you spelling police! Also yes agree that is a good move now sense in rushing him in a short season.

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

Yes. But only if we were a better team. Our pick will be low anyways. So we shouldn't offer sheet him. So no.

I'm obviously not happy, but if I'm looking for a silver lining here, it's that Orr will sit in the pressbox 44 times this season, instead of a young kid who needs the playing time.

You might get to see a Leaf win a fight as well?

agreed. Frattin for 4min/game or a healthy scratch is pointless.

if frattin was only getting 4th line duties, its best hes 1st line on the marlies.

he will be a call up im sure, but frattin is a 3rd liner IMO.

need Orr, with the "within" conference games on the schedule...be some bad blood

#leafs lines, Lupul-Bozak-Kessel, MacArthur-Grabovski-Kulemin, JVR-Kadri-Komarov, Orr-McClement-Brown, extra Steckel.

I thought it would be different, so disappointed. (frank) it.

Guy claimed the 1050 said Connolly was listed on NYI roster. I do not buy it.

I'm telling you they said that. And if true it's good for the leafs.

Love lines except the Orr part of it.

For the first time in years I get to watch three lines I like.

@ the patience with Rielly.

Lou, you cant be that dissapointed really...

the only difference in my eyes is that orr made the team and frattin didnt.

injuries will happen, i guarentee you this...and it wont take long, dont get too pissed, frattin will be up, and he will be hungry to prove they were wrong in the first place.

if line 1 repeats last year, and line 2 repeats from 2 years ago who knows we may be in good shape, and i do think our 3rd line looks exciting.

Practicing with the team or skating by himself?

agreed.


Frattin first 6 games 7g 7pts
last 14 games 2g 9pts.

And, once again: it can't be official until noon.

They may have put in a claim for him, but if Montreal, Edmonton or Columbus also puts in a claim, they get dibs.

Luuuuuuuuuuuuuuu....

chill out man, Orr is going to get 4th line mins. McClement and Brown play alongside. When you factor in that they are both going to be on the PK. The 4th line sin't going to get maybe 5 mins max a game.

I dont think hes going to get the valid and logical point you're trying to make.

Can anyone tell me are Holzer & Fraser any good. Im going to plead ignorance on this..
- IrishRage

I think they they would do a better job than Komi. Big bodies, very physical, nothing fancy and do a good job (at least in the AHL) of shutting down the oppositions main players
