Reports of Bolland being on market, Olesz, Montador buy outs, tells me #Blackhawks clearing space to sign Bryan Bickell

Better fit for 3rd line Center then that Vinny guy, leave him to sign a reasonable $6 million dollar deal in Toronto

Wow, you make it sound like 1994 was just yesterday AND NOT TWO (frank)IN' DECADES AGO!!!

If you want to bring up and relive the past then I guess it's 13 cups to 4

Gotta trade for him. Still have 1 year left on his deal.

Wow. This post is the definition of a braindead, clueless hockey "fan"

As opposed to almost 5 decades ago.

the Leafs haven't made it to one Stanley cup final since the league expanded to 12 teams.

not even a final.

So, I'll actually take actually seeing a Stanley Cup victory anytime over looking at black and white photos of pre-1968 NHL, which, lets be honest, it's a different sport now

i thought you guys had 14?

Player A last 5 years, 272pts/327GP (.83ppg)/-37/~19m TOI/33yrs old

Player B last 5 years, 316pts/336GP (.94ppg)/-8/~20m TOI/33yrs old

Argument is that Player B will screw us with cap recapture if he's hurt next offseason and we don't buy him out now.

Jeff Finger, Mike Komisarek, Tim connolly, Colby Amstrong's Buyout, Darcy Tucker's Buyout.

(See: Gomez , Redden, Gaborik, soon to be Richards)
- As_I_See_It

See Finger, Komiserak, Connelly and soon to be Grabovski, hey after next season you're off the hook for Tucker, wasn't he eligible for the Hall this year?

(See: Gomez , Redden, Gaborik, soon to be Richards)
- As_I_See_It

Gomez: Two years averaged around 60 points. Also allowed us to get McDonaugh and to a lesser extent Prust and Gabby
Redden: See Jeff Finger
Gaborik: Two seasons with 40+ goals and one season finished 3rd in scoring. Hurt the other season and allowed us to get Brassard Dorsett and Moore. All quality depth and a possible top 4 dman


Youre a (frank)in idiot

Mike Matteau was banished to the Marlies as well.

Sooner than the Rags' 5th!

Brassard can move to the wing as stepan can too, its worth offering him a modest contract at 3-4 mil per and go with depth like you wouldn't believe

NONE of those contracts EVEN COMES CLOSE to the Rangers contracts I listed!

leaf fans

shoo.. go on shoo.... back to augello's thread

keep trolling in here you will be banned

- As_I_See_It

All of them ended up in the minors or were bought out. They are exactly the same.

- As_I_See_It

Thats because none of those contracts got you any valuable players in return

Sure they are

i think Vinny slots into the third line centre position. you can't expect the guy to give you elite minutes. your top 6 have to be solid. Vinnie just doesn't bring it anymore. not sure what happened to the guy. but he still has the physical tools, maybe not the drive.

Not at all, Brassard would move to 3rd line center.

I hear this is where the trolls are hanging out today?

Id probably have Vinny at 2C... although Im sure line combos would be made to fit the players theyre gonna skate with and chemistry.
