Why would Carolina trade him they have no D....

I have no idea, but I'd be willing to capitalise on it for our gain

1st and 2nd round exit banners are better.

if the Leafs win the cup please never post again

J Schultz burns Kipper, 1-0 oil

Kipper still got the start tonite. I'm taking that as a good sign.

Agreed. Who would you sacrifice?

i suggested blacker earlier (along with the second)

but he is signed for next season at a cap hit of 3.3mill while only actually earning 2.85mill.

that contract isnt unreasonable by any stretch, might actually bump up the price

Hear hear!

Why do you have an old man as your avatar?

Its Ballard... was making fun of UG's rebuild strategy... sell the farm and draft top 5.... Ballard tried it early 80's cost us a lot of years.

"Shirts off for Kiprusoff" is totally worth it...trust me

Might? For the prospect of "feast"ing on hotdogs on demand Feaster would grab(o) a bite of that

I'd like to keep Blacker, but I have a better feeling about Percy, Finn etc. Maybve someone like D'amigo?

why?

I DO WHAT I WANT!!!!

Does he ever get anything... I did have his quote on their forever.... I have been meaning to change it but can't think of anything original, and am too lazy to change the size of the pic to fit the avatar

He's kinda like what we hoped Franson would be when we got him. 6'2, mobile, shoots right, good for 30ish points per year

helps when you dont trade those picks away after you draft them

the whole "keeping the player" is kinda crucial for the whole "drafting well" concept to work.

"Hey Dave, Gillis is on the phone again... should I tell him that you're busy???"

you are dallas.. what do you want back to potentially replace robidas?

its gonna take a good prospect.. not a guy who will spend most of his career in the AHL

Wendel Clark came in handy didn't he?

so would i, but look at it from dallas' perspective... would you give up robidas for two second rounders?

i wouldnt.

Definitely.

The one thing I will say that Cherry missed on the whole Kadri situation is that Naz of two years ago wouldn't have helped the team, and there was no point dropping him into a situation where he was set up for failure. Kid clearly has mad skills, but needed some time to learn how to be a pro. Very much like Bobby Ryan

hell even scott thornton had a long career

Given that they have lost Ribeiro and potentially are losing Roy, I'd almost be tempted to pitch them a Grabo for Robidas + deal.
