The Leafs didn't try to rush Kadri....Played full Junior term and than worked on his game in the AHL...They developed him the right way..
- Fruitcakenipple

I remember y'all were all hollaring for him to come up. THis is his second stint right? DIdnt he get called up and didnt produce last year?

i couldn't insert a picture but i dont' want to right before lunch

Im all for trading anybody on this team.. but i would like to keep Hodge, Ennis, Foligno, Ott, Flynn, Ehrhoff and Sekera.
- BuffaloKyle

Hodge needs to be re-signed at a reasonable rate.
Ennis i am on the fence on, he is good but we need more defensively strong players and between him and hodge i think we are hurting in the top 6
Foligno i would like to keep him but i dont think it is a deal breaker
Ott i think we need to keep him
Flynn he is a 3rd liner with 2nd line potential, i wouldnt lose sleep over him
Ehrhoff and Sekera don't care either way, but we need to improve on hte back end

Sad....clear shot to Hedman's head and at the halfway point of the video it sure sounds like Leaf fans trying to start a "flopper" chant. A la....bruins fans in the poke the bear video.

the only "enforcer" in nhl history to fight a goalie and not win

Ray Emery - the only goalie enforcer in NHL history

Kaleta is a clean player though.

and who exactly would kaleta chuck the knuckles with?
- derm10

Miller??

Is it time to.trade miller? I believe so

You shut your mouth with that.

Suck for the number 1 pick!!!!
- ImThatGuy

No I couldn't handle it seeing more garth love for another top 5 pick.

Kaleta is a clean player though.
- Fatty-Patty

So...what I said had anything to do with Kaleta....I did not speak of him or defend his actions. Simply calling out classless fans my friend whether it be leafs fans or any other. You either agree or not

Y'all?
Really?
Jesus.

No he wasn't used properly during the Wilson era.

Agreed.....getting the #1 pick would make his hard on for Grigorenko look like a chub.

He also had issues with his game..Spending last season on the Marlies with Eakins working on the issues properly developed a young player..

i think his salary will give people pause, especially with the cap going down.

you'll definitely get a return for him, but it won't be very much. AT MOST, i could see you getting like a 2nd rd pick from a contender.
- sensarmy_11

Third liner grinder Gaustad got us a first. If the market is right, a late first can be had.

I agree though, a second rounder should start the conversation with many contenders looking to bolster there 2nd/3rd line depth

He can't help you

(frank) me

Ahhh I hope Lupul doesn't get suspended, I don't think he really deserves it, but it looks like he will get at least a game since he has a phone hearing. Not sure if i'd rather him play against Buffalo or Boston, probably Buffalo since they have a much more legit shot against Buffalo to get those two points.

Bingo! Agreed but i'd like to add weber to that. cheap and good 6/7th man
- badgirrl

I agree. Unfortunately he's just a step above Rory Fitzpatrick..

Didn't even realize this was a Sabres thread, sorry guys

Losing 5 of your last 6. I would take any points you can get and not take any team for granted. Especially a division opponent.

Also a 5 game suspension??


Kaleta is a repeat offender and his hit was way worse.

- hubie

That was under Ron Wilson, Different Coach and system and Wilson was against him. So i wouldn't exactly call that a chance. But when he played under Wilson he showed the same things hes showing now.

Only difference is Wilson sent him back down after 10 games. Carlysle has kept him up and played him as the 3rd line center for half the season and now hes moved up to the 2nd line.

Toronto should beat Buffalo, but yes it won't be an easy game, never is.

This is good common sense for any Leaf fan for tonights game, Especially since its Buffalo.

Honestly can say this league's disciplinary system is a joke. Watch the video. He looks directly at his head, squares it up, and jumps into it. Hedman is a big boy, so for Lupul to connect shows that there was some effort there. Granted I thought both Kaleta and Perry should've gotten more than received as well, but just because there is no history or long lasting injury shouldn't discern the punishment being handed out.
