It depends on whether Nashville go all in and decide to go for Nichushkin...

I think Radulov would have kiboshed that.

Trading Gardiner would be about the dumbest thing we could do. If we're gunna ever trade him wait a year. He will fetch more later.

Most likely... but you never know.

Poile seems like a pretty smart guy however...

I'm getting that deja feeling ... you know "Freakerenko type feeling"... can't miss, ready to dominate (going straight past ready for the NHL)... ready to dominate"...

with all these guys.

I'm really curious to see if any of the top 3, nevermind the top 10 in this draft are significant contributors to their clubs in their first year.... outside of perhaps Florida and Calgary who really wouldn't have any choice to play their draftee, whether d-man or forward....

I just don't see it.

Not Morgan Rielly. Burke said, " if we had first choice, in last years draft, we would have taken, Morgan Rielly. Bye, bye, Dion!

If we did pick at 5. Pick a center.


Trade Grabo, let Crapzack walk.


Slot Kadri in at the number 2 slot, and our new prospects in at 3.


Get a number one center

You'll never admit you're wrong on Gardiner anyway. It's pointless.

His value will never be higher. The value is in our favour.

Turris was Ottawa's best player in the playoffs. They took Montreal apart in the first round and advanced to the second round. Better result than any other Canadian team in the playoffs. Scoreboard and results matter.
- spatso

any team facing Montreal had a buy to the second round.

Turris being your best player makes it a bit surprising that you got even one win vs Pitts.

I don't quite agree with Burke there, but I think he'd have been number 1 Dman if not for the injury....

Hello lottery team next season!



The only reason why you think Dion is going the other way in every single trade, is because apparently his name has popped up a few times in rumors.


Dreger even said he most likely wont be moved.

Once he proves me wrong I'll admit it. How about when I'm right?

He's in love with Bozak and think's he's the greatest player ever.


That's all you need to know.

The guy who complains the d-corps sucks wants to trade away the most promising piece.

I'd be hesitant, I think I'd rather trade a few players and try and take a guy like McBain in the process. They're not high on him and he needs a change of scenery

Gardiner, Ashton, 21st for 5th McBain.

- Viktory



now this seems like a much more sensible idea... however, it would mean one of two things

1) more JM Liles (no thank you)
2) promoting Reilly - and it might be too early for that

I'll say this again loud and clear. If it's Dion Phaneuf alone who makes this a respectable hockey team, we are way farther away than you think.

I do? It's just that you still don't have an answer to why he plays the most minutes of any Leaf forward and why that's a bad thing for him.
