Act like an expansion team, admit the team is garbage and is not "that 1 extra piece away from reliving 2004"

I've never seen a team so stubborn to admit they're garbage...and I'm a frigging Leafs fan!!

Kipper told everyone he was retiring months ago.

Why the hell would he wanna play on a last place team for a mill?

thats why it wasnt 9 months
- Dozzer

* wonders why he isnt the GM of the Leafs*

They have 3 first rounders this draft, they probably could acquire even more
- Mapleleafs_91

They have someone on their roster worth a 1st?

maybe he'll dip into beer leagues?

.. guess i'll start practicing interviews..

I'm imaging a Danny McBride character going up onto the stage, messing up Gary's hair, etc

But you are the special kind of Leaf fan
- IrishRage

I'm special for a lot of reasons...you'll have to be more specific.

imagine he does that, i will laugh so hard, man calgary is delusional they need help
- Mapleleafs_91

they need to go back 4 years, not have a meathead for a GM, and rebuild then.

they're the pre '04 leafs, and they're doing it a lot worse. at least those leaf versions were playoff teams...

Nah that one is gonna suck.
Its the 41st one ....that will be great!
- Fakepartofme

The 41st one will be written just hours after Ek writes a blog about his sources saying that Philly bought out Bryzgalov and are acquiring Stastny. At that point, the Leafs will actually acquire Stastny for a lot less then we all expected and Leaf fans will complain about giving up Jesse Blacker because we wont have anyone who can replace him as a 5-6 dman. Sound about right?

giordano, cam, tanguay, wideman? I know they have big cap hits but if they added something to deal they could easily get some late firsts rolling in

We're (frank)ed witout Komorov

Arguing with you is worse than arguing with a child. You just hear what you want and rely on strawman arguments to bolster what are very dumb points. I think you are quite possibly the best. But, as I am almost always proven right by what happens in reality I will say good day to you and accept my ban happily.
- Jimmy_Tea

That possibly wasn't the best thing you've done.

Edit: Just saw the outcome.

And how will we ever replace Frattin and Scrivens. Moving Reimer or Bernier when the time is right will never bag us that kinda return.

I thought i read his somewhere or his tweet that yes hes gone but he will probably return? not this year but eventually?

That's what I'd like to ask Feaster.

Feaster: "Hey Kipper...wanna help us finish last?"

Kipper: "No thanks, i've got a kid now and I'm ready to retire...I've actually already told the finnish media I'm done"

Feaster: "I don't understand...we're one piece away from repeating 2004"

Kipper: "You morons have been saying that for almost 10 years...we've never been 1 piece away from repeating"

Feaster: "Awesome, I'll tell Holditch to get the paperwork going on the new contract"

Kipper: "But, I sai..."

Feaster: "Too late, already sent a text, I'll see you in training camp...2004 BABY!!! Here we come!!"

tough to match 2.5 mill a year tax free for a grinder

I actually had him down as an "other than" but decided I didn't care.

Only one that would fetch a 1st.

well thats 1 more first added to the pot, plus if the flames added some 2nd rounders or other roster players in with those other guys, they could get some firsts for sure, they just got to stock up on first rounders

The best part is...we're actually trying to help conjure up a way for the Flames to obtain every 1st round pick?

We could have hired him as a language instructor and paid him outside the cap to teach Dion english
