You are speaking to the wrong person, I have no respect for tanking, you play to win and purposely gutting your lineup for the sole intent to tank is disgraceful in my view.

Thank you! Now, if we can find a way to get this through to Uggie, then the board will be a more peaceful and harmonious place...

After last night, I think I hate Steve Simmons as much as any Leafs fan. Wow is he ever a smug and annoying piece of sh!t.

Everyone says he is interested, dumbass mckowan is the only one saying otherwise. He's useless.
- burn

McKowan is a loud mouth. He makes Don Cherry sound soft. I can not stand McKowan. Would love to take a round out of him

In Strome we would be getting our #1 center and nino looks close to making the jump to the NHL. We've seen that we cant build around Kessel and we may have to trade him if he doesnt want to sign an extension. Also, with drafting Finn, Percy is expendable and NYI needs D.

We arent making the playoffs this year, we may as well get 2 elite prospects, tank for a high draft pick and continue the rebuild.
- Holy_Makinaw99

that deal is terrible , we could very much get a way better return for what kessel is worth now

do the honorable thing and never make the playoffs

The folks on sportsnet are all clowns. The only one I listen to is May; he may not be the most connected but at least he's well spoken (Read: Not Kipper, Shannon, MacLean or McGown)

Kipper is out to lunch but at least he's not anti Leafs like the other boneheads

Yeah he looks like a weiner steve simmons, but hey i dont hate oiler fans

say goodbye to holzer if he has to clear waivers.... too many teams looking for depth on the blue line for him not to be picked up. Would rather see Komiserek sent down. Nobody would pick him up......
- Sheppy99

Holzer has a two way contract.

I may be wrong but I don't think that he does...

I always preface it with "in my view" since many here disagree with this, to me as a team you have to have integrity and pride for the jersey, league, the city and it's fans.

He's just loud and dumb, both from eating fist too many times. I have no respect for guys like that who think that their opinion is most valid because it's the loudest.

Now you know what we deal with. Yet the fans get told their just speaking the truth and blah blah blah.

one of the many things i love about big daddy Lou right here.

tanking is out of the question, play to win or dont play at all.

Exactly... always play to win. If you don't then at least you come out with pride if not the 2 points...

Thats why it was Funny Burke taking a shot at him on the way out

Mike Augello: Gretzky “Not Interested” In Leafs Job; Line Changes In Pittsburgh

Rumors over recent days regarding the possibility of MLSE having interest in hiring Hall Of Famer Wayne Gretzky as Leafs team president were squelched by Sportsnet FAN 590 host Bob McCown, who reported via Twitter this morning that a member of the MLSE board had talked to the former superstar about the position vacated by the dismissal of Brian Burke two weeks ago and that “the Great One” was not interested.

According to McCown, the long time host of FAN 590’s Prime Time Sports, “Chance Gretzky lands with Leafs....... 0.1%”
- mikeinbuffalo

See, this is what I hate about the Toronto sports media: they basically just make poop up.

If the odds of Gretzky landing in Toronto are, in fact, 1 in 1000, then the media responsible for following this story (and churning out all the rumors) have failed miserably.

Everybody gets on Ek's lousy prediction record (and rightly so), but what about these hacks in the mainstream media who get paid salaries to sit around and pretend to be the authorities on the game of hockey. I look at a story like this and can't help but think that either they're terrible at their jobs, or McGown is terrible at his job, or some combination or the two.

Honestly us being tied with the luongo rumours is a waste. We dont have the team in front of Luu to actually go all the way. Its a big gamble for him and its a big gamble for the two big fishes in the summer who might just resign with Anahiem. Our best bet is if our goalies fall apart or one of them does, is to trade for Jonathen Bernier from LA. Try to get a low price on him and bring him in as a gamble but for the right price. Then we draft a good pick this year who is a center and continue the build

Now you know what we deal with. Yet the fans get told their just speaking the truth and blah blah blah.

He talked poop about Edmonton and hashtagged about Schultz #shouldhavepickeddetroit.

Lowetide retweeted it and he got buttraped but wow. I just hate him now.

This.

After calling out Burke for marching in the pride parade for his son rather than being at his desk on July 1st I lost all remining time I had for his opinion.

Apparently he doesn't know what a cell phone is either...

can he be sent down but sat down .....

Holzer is not waiver eligible, so now it is a question of who they want to keep, Frasor (waivers) or Holzer.
