Point 1 for SemenMan.

The bolded completely disagrees with the rest of your statement, unless you believe you were the only one that noticed the rest...

I'm just pointing out his weaknesses, doesn't mean he doesn't have value.

no...
- AdamFrench

You sure shut him up

Point 1 for SemenMan.

And without him there would have been no playoffs. You are insane if you think this lineup sans Dion would be worth a piece of poop.
- honesthockey

We are better with Phaneuf, should he be making 6.5? Be our captain? play over 25 mins a game? No.

We can find someone who does a better job of what Dion is supposed to be doing.

You sure shut him up

I can shut up. I dont like direct conflict.

That was the truth.

I really hope we draft rychel.

Why not 6'7 behemoth good all around d man in Sam Morin? Leafs don't have a behemoth on the blueline since Aulie was stupidly traded away.

Of course he does, i was just curious why you would say on one hand he has move value, and then counter with all of his weaknesses, seemed very odd is all....

Correct. But until we do, we need him.

Same skill set? (frank) if Gardiner played with 1/4 the toughness I'd be happy. Letang is 100 times better then Gardiner.
- honesthockey

Gardiner will grow a pair watch and see.
Oh wait he just got trade to the Pens..

they are both offensive d-men

I can shut up. I dont like direct conflict.

Did you ever show up to the wrong place...

I still say Letang doesn't make a lot of sense, esp. if it involves Gards.

Look, if a guy who can complement Dion is what we're looking for, then why are we going after an offensive Dman??

We already have enough punch from the back end in Gards and Franson.

If what we want is even more punch, then let's get Dion to start putting more pucks in the net.
- AngryWhiteMale

Gardiner is punch from the back end? How many goals did he score this year?

Agreeing with Mykokes then honesthockey in two days...holy (frank), did I die and go to Elysium?

Of course he does, i was just curious why you would say on one hand he has move value, and then counter with all of his weaknesses, seemed very odd is all....

I'm just sick of him is all, he's not fast enough to be a OFD and he's not defensive enough to be a DFD. I guess he's technically a TWD but it's not because he is great at both ends of the ice.
I used to give Dion all the slack in the world, said things like he's playing against the best, he's playing too much. No more excuses for him, he isn't good enough and shouldn't be our captain if we want to win a cup.

Usually if it gets too intense, I just watch. Or pick the side with the most people so I can feel back-up--I'm sure there's a joke in there somewhere-- and protected. I really do need friends.

Excellent observation, Watson

From what I recall, not that many, on account of his lack of playing time during the season.

Along with that fact, it's clear that at 22-23, he clearly will never fulfill his destiny.

Can I also assume that Reilly's lack of performance for the Marlies in the playoffs mean that he too is movable?

- GCHonda

Noticed that too

Big lad

Wouldn't it be easier to simply trade for Myers?

I like Morin too I would be happy with either but Rychel is our guy as far as I'm concerned.

Billy Jean is not my lover, he's just a Newf who says that, I am the one...but the Steve is not my brah.

Without even looking at the previous post you quoted I sang along...but only up until the final Say as that's the only part I knew.

Leafs sign Vinny. Trade him to lightning next off season for 1st round pick.
