Nice pick with Sam Morin. That's what I admire about Philly, they always seem to get it right. Well not usually with goaltending choices but with most other things.

Well Gillis might have had a brain fart in trading Schnieder to NJ for what less than what Edmonton offered, however I doubt he'll have back to back brain farts & trade Yandle for Komi.

No doubt he has acromegly and will be 8' 3". It's in his voice. Next Jaws on any Bond remake.

and yet ...you understand him

Clarkson is not coming

Wait until his agent drops some contracts on his desk. He won't be able to hide his excitement!!!

Fixed, but ur still right

He's outlived his usefullness in TO. He needs to go!!

Alot of Grabo hate on here... Sure his contract is big but he still plays hard and was one of our better playoff players imo... I think you bump grabo up to #2 and he can get yeah 50+ points and still be a solid two way player...

Have u seen the video of him playing? Compared to other players, he looks as big as Andre. And the kid is only 18, still growing. The guy is awesome defensivly, awesome on faceoofs, ok his offense is average. Worse case scenario he could be a Rod Brindamour or if his offense improves, mabie better.

Well, the best way to be a 2 way 2nd line center is to spend a season as 3rd line center...put grabbo in 2C next season and see if it worked...

Anyone who actually thinks Grabovski is anywhere near competent defensively is sadly mistaken.

Had me scratching my head on that one as well.

gauthier is going to do very well....I questioned why we didn't pick the next best available player which was arguably Fucale...but Gauhtier is very good as well

The Letterkenny guys still crack me up.

It's just crazy how hard it must be to get a 1c. I mean it's be years since Mats. And when one becomes available he's 33 and his team doesn't wanna pay him anymore.

Ask Philly about how tough it is to get a starting goalie!!

Fixed, but ur still right

Too bad for the Leafs, would love a Yandle for Komi deal.

I am on your side. But I saw who was posting it and realized it would have been a lost cause trying to prove grabo is any good to the BozakFanBoy and GCH who flat out doesn't like him.

That's the worst case too.


Worst case for Nurse is a Pronger/Lidstrom hybrid.

Leafs made the right choice. They have depth in net, they lack depth at center. Besides they took that goalie kid in the 6th, the kid had good numbers with an average team.

Grabovski makes 5.5 dude. And plays all over bc he is a solo artist. I like Grabovski's heart and all but he doesn't help a lineup much.

Centers are prime..both the scorers and the special teams..and we need them

I'm just tired of Grabbo's inconsistent play. Than Burkey stupidly over pays him with too much term.

Never said he wasn't overpaid! But still. And I don't believe that he can't create chemistry. Hes already had chemistry with MacA and Kulie. That line did wonders.
And he can play with JVR.

Id be happy with

Lupul - Kadri - Kessel
JVR - Grabo - Clarkson

As a top 6.

Sorry dude, but the truth is, Kadri can do just as much overall as Bozak and probably a bit more. Faceoffs is the only exception. And its not worth paying a guy who's worth 3 the 5+ he's asking for just to win a few more draws than our 3/4 Line Center can.
