ok, i will play

Nylund: played over 600 games with 171 points and over 1200 PIM

Richardson: really? well ok.i guess over 1200GP isnt impressive enough for ya, another tough gritty d-man

Thornton: nearly 1000GP, the guy carved a role as a bottom 6 checking forward. not sure how thats a bad thing

Pearson? which one? lol doesnt matter.. i'll give you this one

Berehowsky: was not drafted in the 80s

now lets bring up the a couple other names you didnt mention:

Iafrate
Damphousse
- Dozzer

Was thinking the same

Kipper left the game in the middle of the 1st.... Traded?

- AngryWhiteMale

Don't worry... The 3 goals on 6 shots dropped his value

Kipper sucks. Stick with Reimer.

Right now, nobody is.


Kipper is out of the game in Calgary. Trade?

Nope, just poopting the bed. 3GA on 5 shots...

So once again I must ask...

And all were played at 18 and traded by the age of 25. Problem was never the actual draft picks, it was how they were rushed, or moved. Steve Thomas and Rick Vaive for Eddie O still pisses me off to this day. Nylund blew out his knee. Oh and then there was the great Ken Wregget trade that went to waste, for 2 Belleville Bulls.......

So once again I must ask...
- Atomic Wedgie

Right now I'd say Reimer/Scriv > Reimer/Kipper >> Reimer/Lu's contract.

To be fair Kipper was completely hung out by the defense tonight, he could do bugger all about the first two goals

What was the leafs record during the 1980's
- jribout

Everytime they were just getting good, the rug would get pulled out from under them. The 1986/87 team was on its way......and Doug Carpenter (frank)ed up the 89/90 team.....spends half a season letting them play shotgun hockey, then all of a sudden says after the all star break, we're going to play defense first.

Daniel Marois and Al Iafrate were great players. Injuries hurt them too.

If Nonis trades for Kipper will you get off your hands?

Leeman screwing Iafrate's wife didn't help his head either

What an insightful, comprehensive analysis.
Although I partially agree with you, you're gonna have to be a bit more specific to make a credible argument.

If Nonis acquires Kiprusoff, it's not to instantly replace Reimer because Kiprusoff hasn't had his best year this year. It's to be a back-up with experience. You can see the logic in what he's doing. If he's hell bent on getting a veteran back-up, better it to be a cheap Kiprusoff than an expensive Luongo who is signed until doomsday.

Nope, nothing speacial here. Just a bona fide noobie who loves the leafs.
I've been reading these blogs for months now, and I finally decided it was time to start exercising my sarcasm muscles.

for Kipper?

Maybe a 1st... maybe.

nothing else.

2nd and a B prospect reasonable right now.

No was talking about getting Louie and robdais from stars

Right now, nobody is.

Usually when we make a trade I'm excited to see them in a game, but this is one time that I'm not excited to get him into a game if he becomes a leaf.

Simmons & Button like bringing in Kipper? Further proof it's a bad move.
- deerow84

Hey Nonis -- reality on line one. Please (frank)ing take the call
- Canada Cup

UPDATE: After last night, Kipper's S% is .868

his defence is atrocious....Giordano looks like Todd GIll out there

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.
- jribout

huh? They drafted Vince Damphousse, Al Iafrate, Wendel Clark, and Russ Courtnall in the 80s in the high first round. Some pretty great players.
