oh yeah tell me about it, i rememebr that dude saying that he bets his account that NJ will make the playoffs - it was the year they were SO DEEP in the gutter and were making that huge tear and had to win like 8 games straight to get in and have other teams get in...

so i called him out on it and we went at it, good times - esp since hes vanished

To Colorado: Kessel and Bozak

To Leafs: O'Reily and First round pick this year.

- faceto27


Wow so O'Reilly has one half decent year and all of a sudden is a major chip for Kessel?

Plus it's not like COL's gonna be drafting top 5 this year

Kessel + Phaneuf trades being thrown around.


It's a ticking time bomb.

Stajan was never a defensive specialist and 20.
- AdamFrench

Well, he was considered to be good defensively

But that's not the point I'm making. We're looking for a 1st line center(to play with Kessel).

Trading Kessel for a guy who's a defensive specialist, who happened to put up good numbers when being handed big minutes doesn't solve our problems at all.

It just gives us another 2nd/3rd line center, and one fewer top line winger.

so you know.. the last time capless buyouts were allowed not one guy with more than a year remaining got bought out

for nonis to buy out liles he would have to convince MLSE to doll out close to 15million dollars for no return

good luck with that.

- Dozzer


Liles wasn't Nonis' handy-work.

Plus the team makes money even if the two cable giants aren't in charge. They make 15. in the time it takes for me to fart

I would get a round of drinks to everyone on here who's age is legal to drink if the Leafs can pull this off:

Couturier + Simmonds + Grossman + 2013 1st for Kessel + Phaneuf.

I know I won't be buying drinks anyways because even if by a miracle this trade happens, the lot of you are still playing video games and drink pop. JK

moving no pieces from their roster and adding Kessel will make them better, though.

Dozzer thinks perhaps we are going to buy komi out but with 2 big D already out we are waiting for everyone to be healthy first...

which i think he may be onto something..

liles has to pick his game up he was good last game but stunk the one before.

hes got 4 years left at 4.25 if im right...hes a BO candidate if he ends up falling apart. i hope he doesnt, good guy to teach Gardiner/Rielly.

- big_dion


Liles has 3 more years at $3.875M per (after this year)

TBH i dont know, but id imagine that kessel and eberle are close in ranking..

eberle is younger, has 1 30 goal season under his belt.

kessel older, and we know his gig.

i think eberle is a better all round player, but kessel snipes when hes on are insane.

i dunno i just dont know! hug anyone?

Like it made it Toronto avoid finishing near the bottom and letting the Bruins draft Seguin?

It doesnt work that way.

70 11 18 29 12 -12
82 19 18 37 28 -6
70 36 24 60 16 23

81 8 18 26 18 4
74 13 13 26 16 -7
81 18 37 55 12 -1

Who are these two players that started at 18? One is a defensive specialist guy with only one good season, one is a supppppasta.

@GMillerTSN: Chuckled this morning when a fan at the airport in Edm said I jinxed the Oilers by saying that Jagr is the all-time leader in OT goals...
