I think he didn't make the point clear, he is talking about either Komisarek or Liles, maybe both.
- LeafMan

Liles could be traded though. Im sure a team like Detroit would offer up something for him.

Yeah, if the Edmonton scouts were truly at the Leafs game, they're probably looking at Fraser or Kostka. Maybe Franson because there's been some interest there for a while (they probably missed the boat on that one, though).

Frattin is an Edmonton boy, but I don't see what need he fills and they'd be buying high on him.

The reality is that with all their number 1 picks, they've been very good at getting skilled forwards, but now they're way too undersized and have one of the ugliest defenses in the league.

It's starting to look like drafting Yakupov was a mistake. They should have traded down and grabbed a defenseman or Galchenyuk.

Really??

Wow...Leaf fans....

It is clear to see that good coaching makes a giant differnece..

One need only look at Hitchrichard. He wins wherever he goes, for a few year anyway...until the players get sick of him.

He got Columbus into the playoffs.

I think I might be the only one who would trade Gunnarsson.
- jbold

Depends on the return...Certainly wouldn't give him away but if the return is a need than sure...

I would trade 80% of this roster if we could improve.

Gunnarsson, MacArthur and Colborne for O'Rielly

I want him on the PP more. He doesn't try to murder the puck (and everyone in front of the puck) - he plays it smart.
- BlowMonkey

I agree. And I think Carlyle is finally getting it.

I like that Phaneuf has found his shot again.

I think I might be the only one who would trade Gunnarsson.
- jbold

If Holzer and Fraser can continue their play, they're already replacing what Gunnarsson offers...plus they're way more physical.

I think I might be the only one who would trade Gunnarsson.
- jbold

Gunnarson is competent, but nothing special.

If he was traded, I wouldn't shed a tear.

Would love that. Not sure Colorado might.

Buyout Gardiner?

Are you (frank)ing high?

This.

Liles could be traded though. Im sure a team like Detroit would offer up something for him.
- jbold

I'll take a second rounder...what we gave up for him.

Really??

Wow...Leaf fans....
- Iggysbff

He only got 8 points in 12 games playing 15 minutes per game in his first NHL season.

BUST!

Wow, buy out Gardiner?? are you dumb?
- the_ghost_8

Didn't realize that I didn't bring up Komisarek's name.


But yeah, c'mon mannnn

Gunnarson is competent, but nothing special.

You know you will, you will sit with a draft beer in a frosty Leafs mug on your easy lounger and ponder what could have been.

Yakupov can suck a scrot.

kids got D bag written all over him.

oh carl, how i miss thee!

Really??

Dude, c'mon. Guy's a bust. I don't need to wait until the 15 or 20 game mark to figure out the guy won't have a good career.

He's played 12 games - what are you waiting for?

Declare him a bust and move on.

Bust.

Yes, really. Yakupov was the last thing the Oilers needed.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not suggesting he isn't a good player. But another small, skilled winger? Really? I think your organization has that covered.

Galchenyuk fills a need. Any of the top d-men fill a need. You could have traded down and picked up an asset while getting a better fit.

There's no way that every young forward on that team is going to be happy in 2-3 years.

You know you will, you will sit with a draft beer in a frosty mug on your easy lounger and ponder what could have been.
