Wanna bet $1 Kessel resigns ?
Wanna bet another $1 that if we kept Grabo , NO WAY IN HELL WE KEEP BALLSACK ?

- .HOHO.


The issue is your claim that without Bozak, Kessel walks - Which is absurd.

Even before we resigned Ballsak, I figured Kessel would resign.
I was hoping to keep Grabo over Ballsak.

Didn't everyone complain about Kessel needing Marc Savard when he left Boston, seems to have done okay without him. Would have been the same without Bozak. Kessel is too talented to not produce , regardless of who is at C

How much do you think Grabo's health issues , or possible future health issues played a role in the decision to buy him out ?

Anyone who watches Trailer Park Boys knows what a malapropism is, its not rocket appliances...

But you didn't misuse a word in the place of a similar sounding word, you just misused a word.

So actually, you are quite far behind.

I think it was all RC...he was simply to incompetent to understand how to use him.

Get Buffalo to sign Grabo for 3 X $3mm , then trade Ballsack to Barfalo and get Grabo back .

Someone tell Big D I solved the problem before he jumps off the ledge !

I have/had no issues with Grabo , frankly he gave us some exciting goals from time to time, his issue was he was softer than frank ocean and hand lotion so Carlyle had no place to use him. He'll go somewhere else and produce accordingly.

Wonder if he will at Dion's wedding. Dion's wife bought him a fully re-built 1967 Camaro for a wedding gift.

didn't have an option though. Kadri and Bozak got the offensive starts. Grabo got the defensive starts. Mainly because he didn't trust either of the other lines to get them.

Had nothing to do with incompetence. Leafs had too many 2nd line C's, and Grabo was the one with the big cap hit coming off a bad year.

They couldn't afford to keep him given what they new it was would take to get Clarkson.
