“@mirtle: Oh boy, more awards voting. NHL names the end of year all-star teams and Ovechkin makes the first AND second team as both a RW and LW. Oy.”


Exhibit A that just because you are a sports writer, doesn't mean you know what the (frank) you are talking about.


What an embarrassment.

The player left off the all-star teams due to Ovechkin being named twice (once at wrong position) was Taylor Hall.

He fell short of their expectations?

Living up the the buffalo hype is a tall order.

More to you're liking Burn?

I'd rather have syphillis for 8 years than Bozak.

Yeah Lindros is an option?

How bout Gordon or give big joe a shot. Gerbe would be majorly scraping the bottom of the barrel. Could get any marlie to do better.

I really do hope some team gives Clarkson 6M and Bozak 5M.....and I hope its not us.

Due to the amount of defencemen on the roster for the 2008–09 season for the Maple Leafs, Ian White was sat out for the first 11 games of the season before playing his first game in which he spent some time playing as a 3rd line forward. In spite of a lack of experience in the position, in eight games there he managed three goals, seven points, and a +5 plus/minus rating before returning to defence.

Thinking outside the box...sign Ian White for cheap to play forward.

wonder if the leafs have reach out any ufas yet?

Haven't seen him play much in the past 3 years but I always liked his effort and hockey sense. Wouldnt be a bad option for defensive depth depending on $$$

I'm sure they have and I hope it is Clarkson, exactly the type of player the Leafs need, battles in the corners and along the boards to keep the puck in or get it out, goes to the net and won't back down.

Every team needs to use free agency as a means to improve at some point in time.... most free agents are over paid...

Neither of those guys are getting that kind of coin.. But Bozak at 4 and Clarkson at 5 is fine.

I'd do Bozak at 3.5 and Clarkson at 4.5.

I tried to say move Gardiner up, and people didn't think to highly of it.

Quebec in the QMJHL drafted TOR prospect Fabrice Herzog.
