Anyone else think Gardiner is about to be traded because (frank) I sure do..... After his call up he averaged like 22 minutes a night and than all of a sudden hes a healthy the last two games... Looks to me like they were show casing him with the call up.. show he hasn't lost anything and now are protecting the asset from injury and diminishing his value... If you ask me Gardiner will be gone in the next 24-48 hours.. YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST

FFS, he's only played something like 70 NHL games.

We've seen how good he can be. Sure he hasn't started off the season well but the guy's 22 years old.

And can anyone here seriously say a guy like Kostka on the PP is a better option than Jake?

Don't waste your time with this guy... he has the MONSTAR for his avatar for (frank)sakes.

Bozak, Gunnarsson, Scrivens for Luongo

Grabovski Holzer for Stastny

MacArthur Kostka for Smid

JVR/Stastny/Kessel
Lupul/Kadri/Kulemin
Komarov/McClement/Frattin
Fraser/Colborne/Orr

Phaneuf/Gardiner
Liles/Smid
Franson/Fraser

Luongo
Reimer

Our fourth line is borderline playoff useless.... you need someone defensively responsible to help out Mclaren and Orr

With Mac and Komarov due back eventually I think that sorts out who plays that role.

It'll depend on the team we're against, and their physiciality along with speed

Agreed was talking about the lineup after all the crazy trades for stasny and luongo

BASEBALL STARTS TONIGHT...NIKKAS.

Blackhawks are poopting cocks on the Wings this afternoon. 5-0.

I think Gardiner's gone, too, if not at the deadline, this summer. Main reason? Morgan Reilly.

- fifty__missions

And the fact that Morgan won't be ready for at least another 2 years doesn't factor into anyone's assessment?

He'll get one more season in the CHL, and then maybe, maybe he gets a pass on the AHL if he really blows the coaches away.

If they weren't in a rush to bring Kadri up, and if Jake was kept in the A to work on becoming a more complete defender, then there's no reason to believe Morgan won't go down that same road

Cherry was pumping his tires as far back as a couple years ago, insisting he'd be a helluva hockey player.

This isn't news

I have no patience for wienerheads like him with no patience. We had some with Kadri and now look.

Oh great.

Another Leafs fan who wants to develop a player properly. Boring.

If Rielly isn't on the Leafs' roster next year, the kid is a bust.

Trade him, or just cut him.

Careful son, that's the kinda outlook that could land you a front office job

The great thing about having all of Reilly, Finn & Percy drafted at the same time is that they'll all develop together in the AHL at the same time.

There won't be any chemistry issues as they'll be quite familiar with eachother once they make the big club.

And yes I am faily confident that all three will be full-time NHLers at some point. They weren't 'high-risk, high-reward' picks

Wedge has aspired to be a piece of MLSE's brain trust for quite some time now.

Make me President, and my first move will be to hire Uggie as GM

And then I will raise beer prices.

i think he's actually making fun of you guys
- DoubleDown

claims hes making fun of us, you guys would lose the first round of playoffs if you faced us

Wonder where this team will end up when all is said and done.

At this pace, who knows? We could possibly catch MTL(we have two games left against them)

If we keep a decent pace, then we could, nay, should fall into the 4-5 spot.

I don't think Ottawa will keep this pace up as they're on the road for the next 7, and their road record isn't flattering.

So it all boils down to Habs or Bruins. I'm not as scared of BOS as I used to be, but it would still be better to avoid them. MTL would be an epic series, but I think we'd stomp them in 6
