And domi isn't?
- Trevrrrgavo

I think he meant "Also" as in... Domi is a son of a former Leaf, but Rychel is also the son of a former Leaf.

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

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.

- Viktory


I'm absolutely not adverse to acquiring McBain... but I don't think the Leafs need to sacrafice much to do it.

personally, i'd rather stay at #21, keep Phaneuf and Gardiner and get rid of Liles. He is (in my opinion) the second coming of Kaberle after the hit by Janssens.

if the Leafs are going to gamble and go after a high pick, shoot for the moon and pursue the McDavid pick... target Calgary, Florida, Nashville.. teams that would seem to be heading nowhere quickly.

Nonis will part with Reilly or Gardiner. He feels one he is able to sacrifice.

There's no playoffs with no Dion Phaneuf next season.

Well (frank), Craig Button has just said that Barkov could be the steal of the draft.


Way to crush the poor bastard before he even plays an NHL game, Craig!!!

Not sold on Kerby Rychel





His first name is Kerby.... Can't draft a guy like that.

Like I said, anyone with a brain.

Congrats.

Maybe you could at the very least have the class to disagree without making personal insults. Dion is a controversial player to say the least, and not everyone who disagrees with you is wrong, or brainless.

The last name brings back terrible memories. Any news on if this guy takes a slap shot from 30 feet out on a penalty shot?

This is where you're wrong. I learned my lesson to never talk bad about #3. I got beat down.

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


I'm sure that there a good number of Bruins fans saying the same thing about Chara right now.

That doesn't mean it makes any sense.

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..

- jbold


I like Dion more than most. He gets a bad rap because of his contract.
If Rutherford covets Phaneuf, it can happen.
As far a Toronto replacing him, I don't think it's as urgent as you obviously think.
Leafs are still developing, get a great young player and keep moving.
They get goaltending and they will make the playoffs again next year.
