Poor mans Hodor.


At least Hodor can say his name.
- robin_steele264

Shaddup. The guy was accepted to Harvard. So he struggles with English - big deal. Do you know French, smart guy?

Well then what do you give up for Yandle?
- ThePresident

The Yotes will want tooooooo much. Don't think we have anything to entice the Yotes anyways.

Are the Canuckle fans saying that trading Schneider is what they wanted all this time?
- TML4Life85

It's what Gillis is saying.

Would make one hell of a top 6/top 4.

JVR/Lecavalier/Kessel
Lupul/Kadri/Iginla

Phaneuf/Yandle
Franson/Gardiner

Just have to come up with what we'd give up for Yandle. Perhaps a prospect or 2 along with some picks.
- ThePresident

And get the salary cap doubled

I just watched Gauthier's interview, Hodor is right.
- BetterCallSaul

was it you or gchonda who was calling for us to draft gauthier?

kind of disappointed that we left shinkaruk, erne, zykov and compher, hell even fucale

Good for you. You should know what it's like to learn a 2nd language, then. Cut the guy some slack.

Hello fellow Leafs Fans, just wanted to drop by here and say that I hate you guys for snagging Gauthier earlier today. He was the guy I wanted for the Habs.

I actually had y'all picking him in my mock draft, I knew you guys couldn't let him slip through, the leafs actually have good scouts.

He's a very smart player,probably the best defensive forward in the draft, and he has lots of room to grow offensively. He started the year on a tear and could very-well have ended with more points than Zykov as the best rookie if he didn't get injured by receiving a slapper on the jaw by trying to block a shot. He had to eat through a straw for a week after that, and had trouble coming back in the same form as before the injury.

He had average playoffs, but was awesome at the U-18 in sotchi, especially in the final where he was the best canadian forward.

Its doable without Bozak, Grabo, Mac, and maybe even Kulemin.

Awww muffin

As per Rimer & Seigel. Nonis likely finished for the day (obviously) but made it clear that he IS NOT finished, expects Tuesday to be busy again!

Hopefully sign Gordon, Clarkson and Ference

JVR - Kadri - Kessel
Lupul - Grabovski - Clarkson
Kulemin - Boland - McClement
Mclaren - Gordon - Orr/Hamilton

Phaneuf - Ference
Franson - Gardiner
Gunnarsson - Fraser/Liles

Reimer/Bernier

Have u seen the video of Gauthier? The guy is fukken huge!!! He's only 18 & still growing. He's already very responsible defensively, great at faceoffs. He's a good scorer & he's improving in that area. In the video, he towers over the other players.

Thanks bud! Appreciate the feedback!

Frattin and Scrivens suck, Bernier has the potential to be an allstar goaltender.
- ThePresident

Of course they suck. They aren't Leafs anymore.

I'd be thrilled with that lineup come next fall

This

Very happy with the pick...
- Fruitcakenipple

i'm not. i think there are guys who have higher potential who were left on the board. i guess gauthier was the "safe" pick cause he will be more likely to be a 3rd line center, in comparison to shinkaruk/erne/zykov who all have top 6 potential but could be less likely to make it to the NHL

Thanks bud! Appreciate the feedback!
- steve362

He's a good guy. I give him a hard time..ALL THE TIME, but he really does get balls deep into the draft. Don't let him know I said that though.

Yeah, he dwarfed all the scouts and Nonis and Carlyle on the stage when he got drafted (not to mention Bettman )

I'd be thrilled with that lineup come next fall

We saw what working out with Roberts did with Kadri last summer, He is apparently back with him this offseason... Another summer at the weights and he is going to be a force to be reckon with

Agreed. I'm pleased with the Leafs pick.

I wonder if Crackstarter will have the first recorded video of Gauthier and Kessel talking together up for bids?
