RFA, and they are close to the cap...small market minny is #5 on the payroll list wtf?

Toronto should offer to take Heatley off thier hands and buy him out..of course taking one of thier nice prospect with him
- senstroll

Heatley is i eligible to be bought out. Had surgery.

Gagner, but these rumours are idiotic. The Leafs are ok at centre with Grabbo Bozak and Kadri (and Mcclement) but they have one of, if not the absolute worst defense groups in hockey.


So, why would anyone want to trade our best defenseman for a centre we only kind of need?

Heres the thing, I know that Nonis isnt an idiot, so Phanuef isnt going anywhere./

Oilers have a multi year deal on the table for Gagner.

Ek disagrees.

Who should we trust?

so i need to post the pic of the weird looking dude with the crystal ball?

no offense.. not one person here has even the faintest clue what nonis' opinion is.

also, stats gets 50 points playing 3rd line minutes and secondary PP

his linemates were jamie mginn and chuck kobasew and he was just as productive as bozak

give him top line minutes again with linemates with some real talent this guy is a perennial 65 point plus player

how you guys dont see that is flabergasting honestly
- Dozzer

But what is the big deal about 65 points? Bozak can get you 50 and no one can really make Kessel and Lupul score more points then they already are. Offense is not an issue here, and the Leafs are not intersted in a Player Colorado is dying to give away. Can I read Nonis mind? Of course not, but its pretty obvious once you really think about it beause his salary is dumb, his play is declining, we don't need what he brings because all the best facets of his game are duplicated by Bozak, except the extra 15 points, which is not worth screwing your salary structure, chemistry or building plan over. Take this to the bank: Stastny will never be a Leaf. I'll bet you anything/

we don't have bozak cuz he is goin to fa. nonis would be improving our d by bringing in two top four dependable defensive defensemen. we already have enough offense on the back end

Joke all you want, still better than the Leafs...

so you Dave Poulin?

No, Im Dustin Byfuglien, and I want to get traded to the Leafs.... Do you know there are only two Buffet Restaraunts here in WPG! I need more food!! And Claude Noel is a Doucbag! I can play at 370lbs Easy.

How many 65 point centers are there in the league?

Heatley is i eligible to be bought out. Had surgery.
- burn

Add Havlat to the list too, he had surgery (or having soon) so he cannot be bought out.

true... I also heard dion for gagner.... who's better. gagner or stastny
- Sheppy99

Dion for gagner.

1 - Phaneuf is the captain because Burke is a twit, he made many mistakes on top of some good moves. Lupul is captain

2.I agree stastny is not the PAG play he was, hes a 55 point player..not a lot I want from him.

3.the fraction Bozak would be is 5/6.6 ..thats not much better, Stast. has much more upside if it worked out

4. I agree stastny is not the player for the leafs
- senstroll

Then who is? All you guys female dog about every player and turn down every center when you fail to realize there are like no centers available

Heatley is i eligible to be bought out. Had surgery.
- burn

he has to be cleared to play which will not happen in the next 48 hrs.
let the buyouts begin ...

Oilers have a multi year deal on the table for Gagner.

good. we dont want him

- Sheppy99

I can't really argue with you beause you have no idea how good Dion actually is. The Leafs finally have a number one goalie, why the hell would they trade their top ten D man? Its crazy talk. People really need to get a grip.

Yup

i wouldn't mind johnson coming here, a nice right handed defender
- Mapleleafs_91

I think he still has potential.

How many 65 point centers are there in the league?
- robin_steele264

This year? None.

Last year? 13.

Yup, my post should have said ineligble.... Hit spacebar instead of n.

Just use your critical thinking skills bud. 65 points is not that good compared to Bozaks 50 points when you consider that we already have Bozak and it doesnt cost us assets to get him. Big deal on the 15 points, which Bozak could very well get, his trajectory is going the opposite way as Stastnys/

Guarenteed you did not watch him on the team USA recently... playing with high caliber guys, what do you think he will do with kessel and jvr? decline? you must be on drugs, only up from playing with those two

Then who is? All you guys female dog about every player and turn down every center when you fail to realize there are like no centers available

Why is Leafs Nation continuing to ignore the Ribeiro option?

Yeah, I know, he dove 10 years ago in a playoff game.

UFA. Puts up points.

Are we really not even willing to discuss it?

No, Im Dustin Byfuglien, and I want to get traded to the Leafs.... Do you know there are only two Buffet Restaraunts here in WPG! I need more food!! And Claude Noel is a Doucbag! I can play at 370lbs Easy.

good. we dont want him
