I have seen quite a few here that want to sign him, no one should bash you for the opinion.

I was "not against it" for several pages in this very blog

HA HA one eats a bucket of gravy and the other takes sloppy seconds, lol

Mrs.Phaneuf and a Pail of Gravy sounds like a good night to me!

ya Bozak at 3-3.5M INSTEAD of Grabo at 5.5M is good.

I just don't see the point of the 2 small C's again.

sign a Big 34C (Gordon), McClement or Colborne play other C.

I'm a Grabo fan, and I don't see them buying him out. Not after a bad half year where he had role change and serious medical issues

No he stays. Bozaks gone, i liked him though. Grabs and Kadri should spend all summer working on draws.

No team or avatar until Orr is off the Leafs.

oh FFS.

what are you going to do when they resign McLaren?

they should hire Bozak to give them lessons till he gets a contract

Yeah I saw the Ashton and D'Amigo push to, my dark horse this year besides those two is Leivo.

Yes! That reminds me of watching Belfour train at double rink with Trretiak way back when he was with Dallas. Tretiaks hands are frickin bear claws.

Just a long shot guess, I did the same with Frattin a couple years ago.

full year Marlies I would expect.

especially since Orr and McLaren (probably) are back

was just thinking he's the guy who will replace Frattin, but I just assume he needs a bit more time.

I know you'd rather him than Orr and McLaren on the 4th

i agree. ryan hamilton has earned some consideration imo for a bottom 6 checking role

@DarrenDreger: Ray Emery will have options. Among them, the Philadelphia Flyers. Nabokov will likely be of some interest to the Flyers as well.

Oh yeah, McLaren will be back, I think I know a good C for that line


McLaren Konoptka Orr

Beauty 4th line

I guess... I just see him as being what he is, the guy you call up from Marlies when 2 guys are injured

I know how you feel with Grabo. I really want to like the guy, but I just can't see a place for him.

He's got hustle, but his type of game relies on him always performing at peak level. If he's off his game, the whole line suffers. He really can't modify his game to allow his line to succeed when he is struggling.

Yeah, I know he was asked to play more defensively under Carlyle, but he didn't exactly do a great job of that, either.

He's probably got a higher upside than Bozak, but Bozak doesn't need to be filling the net to be effective. If Grabo isn't giving you 25 goals, he doesn't have a place.

Knopfler is a vey good guitarist, also unique picking and plucking style.

- Big_Lightnin

I rather more speed, bump and grind with some offence on the fourth but it's just my preference.

Nabokov has been my first choice since 2007...
