Jeff Ware is depressing.

#5 is exciting...

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

It'll be fun to see how this all works out.

I'm not quite as sold on Monahan... personally I prefer Lindholm.

- Flyfreaky

Yup... my desk is developing a slight lean...

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.

Take him off the team, and this team is in trouble.




I'll say it loud and clear.

We would have missed the playoff if he wasnt on the team last season.

Anyone with a brain can see that.

Nonis will not part with Gardiner, Reilly. It would have to be Phaneuf, their pick (21) + a young Marlie.

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
- BorjeFan4Ever

Maybe, but it could be worthwhile.

McBain and Gardiner are similar players, so I think that keeps Liles on the Bottom pairing, and 2nd Specialties tandems. Which is fine with me, He'll improve as the year goes on with a full season and training camp.

Girlfriend: Do you want to go up to the lake for the day?

Me: Uhhhhh, today?

Girlfriend: Ugh, I'll just go with the dog.

Me: Darn.. ..

If there are five or six teams after that pick, will that do it?

It's all good until she gets home and you get (frank)all until November.

This guys was awesome...

Let's not forget

Nonis is looking for a top 4 d.




Trading their number 1 D while looking for a top 4D doesn't make sense.


So you can stop throwing Dion is every trade rumor, because it's likely he's a Leaf next season.

The only way Dion is moved, is if we get a top 2 D back to fill that hole..

And how likely is it that we get a top 2 D? Unlikely..

I'm not quite as sold on Monahan... personally I prefer Lindholm.

Lindholm is the step down from Barkov. Not as physical, looks like Zetterberg when he plays. Likely NHL ready, could use some AHL play.

I'm sure I'll get the "hey, do you wanna take the dog to the park" question at about 1250 here...

Yup... I'm assuming that Barkov will not be available at 5. If he is, I feel easier making any deal for the fifth though...

Dion is the worst value #1 D in the league and not a particularly good captain. Move him on.

Say it as many times as you want...but Dion is a top 10 d-man in the league. The day we trade him we're further away from the Cup.

lol, speak of the devils.

prefer Rychel.. and he is also the son of a former Leaf.
