I'm drunk now...

Wingers are the most solid part of our team?
Kessel
Lupul
JVR
Kulemin
C-Mac
Frattin


Some of those names haven't even come close to their potential yet. Why add more when we have so many other holes elsewhere first?

Why look for a 600 hp motor to replace your 400 hp motor on your boat when your boat is sinking cause of holes in other areas.....

Out of that group you'll win with Maybe Lupul, Kulemin and Frattin. And only Lupul is any kind of a leader.

He's old so likely got tired and gave up...

Nope I read it. He aint Pronger lite. Period. Count Pronger playoff games and then count Jbo's. You don't win with this guy.

Get me one #1 centerman and than we can talk about tweaking our wingers.

Well I guess we agree on jbo....... so that's a start

Agreed....

Ok a big scoring, tough, leading centermen. I don't care just someone with an ability to play and win any style of game.

our defense needs another shutdown defensemen. The good news is they are cheaper to acquire.

Jbo in my opinion is not a shut down d man and is not a fan of the corners and clearing the front of the net. Honestly he's a bit better version of Carl Gunnerson and for 6 million dollars, why?

Get a cheaper bit better version of mark fraser

douglas murray would have been nice

Yeah cause kessel is a slouch

No I like one dimensional players. You win cups with those.

You win cups as a team where everybody fills a need

I agree, he's not a franchise player but a complimentary player.

I do however feel Lupul is looking a franchise player lately. Just see how long the mojo lasts for though.

Kessel is like a Patrick Kane. Damn nice to have him but nobody would ever build a team around either of them.

Gretzky never played that style and I believe he won a few

I'm liking what I see from Lupul. Take a look him in his own end . Pretty funny at times. You look and think what in the (frank) is he doing there.

Seriously you didn't just compare Kessel to Gretzky.

- honesthockey

speaking of players in their own end......

I think I may have to admit I was wrong about someone on the leafs

I am starting to really like Kulemin and maybe the reason I gave him such a hard time was cause he played with Grabo for so long. Grabo isn't exactly the easiest guy to play with....

Kule has looked amazing the last 5-6 games with Kadri

source?

Does nobody think ladislav smid is a guy who could play with dion? Shut down. Big body. Former ducks draft pick. So you know leafs brass would love him

- honesthockey

kessel has clearly shown this season he has more then one dimension. hes back checking a lot more. his play making abilities are great, only one better on this team is kadri. last year and year before kessel you can say is one dimensional, but not this year.
