He thinks it's okay though, because his wife spends all the money.


It's like he doesn't even get paid!
- jbold

the leafs should have nothing to do with any of those guys

they arent what the leafs need.. and it will turn into another connolly fiasco

just resign bozak or, if he costs too much, promote from within. colborne has been basically at a PPG since his injury finally healed 100% back in January and with Kadri and Grabo here.. the C position is easily fillable without having to burden themselves with a big dumb contract
- Dozzer

I think Weiss would be a good fit in Toronto.

Weiss
Kadri
Bozak/Colborne
McClement.

Down the middle.

Not too shabby.

But I think we should look at top 4 defenders over a center, personally.

Carlyle hates him...

yeah thats a pretty accurate sum up.

the accent must of thrown you.. he was making a joke.. and rightfully so.. he was deflecting a stupid question

- Fruitcakenipple

aka he's playing like absolute crap.

yeah thats a pretty accurate sum up.
- big_dion

Yep....

All are upgrades over Bozak. I kind of like the idea of Roy if he'd sign a Connolly type deal.

This makes me cringe.... We tried the "whats left" option and got Connolly.

I would rather Aim for a Young Center who has a lot more left. Duchene or prospect like Strome etc.. keeping in mind neither is available..but why try for older stop gaps again. This team is still a huge WIP..a 33 year old Ribero will just keep the mediocrity going, and cost too much imo

You answered your own question.

I don't say it to bug you. But it looks like it does.

Which is hilarious.
- jbold

you post it every time i post.

its pretty predictable.

but what you didnt mention is how funny my post was above and how hilarious it is you were PM'ing a guy thinking it was a girl and telling them your sad story of life.

NOW THAT is funny.

They've already burdened themselves with a big dumb contract in Grabovski. If all things were equal, i'd take Ribeiro over Grabo in a second, but you are right I don't think we need two 5+mil lazy Centre's.

yes, cause guys have never had off years before

(frank)ing leaf fans.. one bad year and a guy is garbage..

its the dumbest part about this fanbase.

i will say one name:

Larry Murphy
- Dozzer

Okay, okay.

He's a 29 year old 50 point centermen at best, who is on the decline, and is coming out of his prime.

He also makes the most money out of our forward group.

I would trade him in a heartbeat for an actual shutdown center. Like Bolland.

I think Weiss would be a good fit in Toronto.

first of all.. you arent signing both weiss and bozak in the off season

secondly.. grabo will be here next year.. so suck it up and get used to it.

last time buyouts were available not one guy with more than a year remaining was bought out

Please, no Weiss.

you post it every time i post.

its pretty predictable.
- big_dion

Then don't read it? I don't post things on here hoping you agree with them.

but what you didnt mention is how funny my post was above and how hilarious it is you were PM'ing a guy thinking it was a girl and telling them your sad story of life.

NOW THAT is funny.

This never happened, but okay

But if you want to talk about flirting with refs, you're the right person to talk to.

Have a nice day, Big_D.

I completely agree with this. It's not just this year, it's the fact that he got a fat contract from the Leafs that he never deserved. He's never scored more than 29 goals in a season, never had a 60 point season, he's not great defensively, he dissapears for long stretches of time....yet he's worth 5.25 over 5 years? Give me a break. Hated the deal since the beginning.

oh it happend, and its even more funny that you deny it LOLOLOL

Na new GM this summer will trade him....

- blahman20

and who would take on the role of shutdown centre?

ribeiro?

guys think.. please.. there is alot more to the game of hockey that scoring.. grabo is in his first season where he is molding himself into a more complete player.. be patient. it will pay off --- you know.. like it does for every other team in the league.

you guys have a hard time cutting anyone slack.. its either play perfect or you are a bum.

and in two years he will likely be one of the best 2 way forwards in the league.. guys dont just learn that crap overnight you know

New coach next year will play him.

5.25mil for a shut-down Centreman? That's not how you win in the NHL, sorry.

Actually, he has a cap hit of 5.5. Which sucks even more.

And I agree. He never deserved the contract.

But I understand why they gave it to him.

Just wish we could of spent that money on someone better.
