Grabo is better than Bozak at every aspect of the game except faceoffs, and the difference isn't enough to make up for the other areas.
- Big_Lightnin

I would say Bozak has 3 things better than Grabovski. Face offs, defensive/pk play, and chemistry with Kessel. Grabo is better, but Bozak makes Kessel better.

Wow. Talk about rambling nonsense. Take a meaningless 2nd round pick
and get. I mean, really, give it a rest.
- daws44

yes, i know, any unbiased commentary regarding the Leafs is nonsense. sorry. trade is slam dunk win for Toronto. second round picks are completely useless and have never contributed anything to any hockey team in the history of the NHL.

is that better kid?

question. there will be be some shifting around but we generally got an idea of what our top 9 looks like. what does our 4th line look like?

McLaren-McClement-Orr?

I miss Komarov was my favorite Leaf this season
- Boosinicka

McClement - Gordon - Hamilton

try to find it.

There aren't any
- Lee Denault

off the top of my head...

Brad Richards.
Marc Savard

Grabo is tradeable I think, and Weiss will come to the Leafs for 4.5 in my opinion. He doesn't exactly have negotiation power given his season last year, and the fact he wants to be signed by the Leafs.
- ThePresident

I think you're on crack in this regard.

If he will, I'm on board. but he has the worst agent in sports if he does

Sundin wasn't a #1C when he was traded
- Big_Lightnin

Nordiques were like 2011 penguins, Sakic, Forsberg, Sundin

Overrating Bozak. Don't know how we forget, he wins a few faceoffs and suddenly he's awesome.
- ThePresident

Get off weiss' lap...


I get it, the ol' grass is greener on the other side... Judingd from past posts of yours, you would be the first to say yo didnt want weiss here, the second he starts to play poorly.

So i will just say good day. weiss isnt good

McClement - Gordon - Hamilton
- AdamFrench

I thought Brad Richards was traded to Dallas. Can't remember.
- Leeman4Gilmour

Also, Mike Richards, Jeff Carter.

sundin was still pretty damn young when he was traded.. and it was a very different era
- Dozzer

Makes me want to try to pry Coutourier from Philly something awful. Kid is going to be good. Really f'n good.

- Feeling Glucky?

a big 2 out of all of them...

ANYONE can be traded. but if thats how we are going to go about this number 1C deal, by trading for him.... were in for the long haul.

question. there will be be some shifting around but we generally got an idea of what our top 9 looks like
- Boosinicka

We do!? Please show me your make-up of the top 9.

(I dont mean that to be an ass, Ive just been struggling to figure out what can be done to fill the 3 holes we currently have there.

- Big_Lightnin

Guys... Gomez was traded to Montreal.

McClement - Gordon - Hamilton
- AdamFrench

who the (frank) is gordon?

I would say Bozak has 3 things better than Grabovski. Face offs, defensive/pk play, and chemistry with Kessel. Grabo is better, but Bozak makes Kessel better.
- Boosinicka

False on the defensive and PK. He's only on the PK cause he can win faceoffs.

And his chemistry with Kessel is BS. He plays with a PPG player and a .75PPG player, and he can't even get .5PPG.

That's not chemistry, that's managing to not get in the way of the other guys.

Grabo is better at hockey than Bozak. Period.

Also, Mike Richards, Jeff Carter.
- Leeman4Gilmour

Except they're not LA's top line centers.

Could be top line center calibre, though.

In that case, Jordan Staal.

Suter is a monster and should have won the Norris easily, Green has evolved actually playing defense for once and Campbell is probably the best puck mover in the game, even if he's overpaid and old.
- AdamFrench

What's everyones thoughts on Ferrence?

- AdamFrench

they resign Orr and you don't think Carlyle's going to play him?

riiiight.

- Boosinicka

That's who LA targeted initially for Bernier


Settled for Leafs deal

who the (frank) is gordon?
- Boosinicka

the only UFA center Leafs should be acquiring this summer, and he'll have more of an impact on the team dynamic than Weiss.

they resign Orr and you don't think Carlyle's going to play him?

riiiight.
- Big_Lightnin

He's on the top line destroying Chara.

McClement - Gordon - Kulemin
- AdamFrench

fixed that 3rd line up ...

What's everyones thoughts on Ferrence?
- mmold

I'd do it, dunno if he signs with Leafs due to rivalry, for whatever that's worth.

Money tends to make those things go away.

they resign Orr and you don't think Carlyle's going to play him?

riiiight.
- Big_Lightnin

Re-signed for less than $1 million.

There will be nights when he gets free popcorn.
