Brandon Sutter might be something to think about...

and before anybody who follows the line goes nuts, I'm not lobbying to trade Kuli at all, but I don't think Leafs will be able to sign him next summer, so they may have no choice.

I'm totally with you. They have to start selling high in a few cases and help the build along. Weren't we offered a 1st for Grabo at 1 point.

Not sure if this is common knowledge or not but the leafs aren't going to win the cup next year. They need to be looking at their team in say 3 years and start adding more pieces. One reason I wouldn't be opposed to trading Phaneuf too. Maximize your return and be patient.

Man remember when Pierre Maguire was poop talking yet again on the Habs for not picking him when they went with McDonaugh? He said something like this is the steal of the draft, the Penguins just got the next French Canadian star and the Habs miss from their own backyard again.


Now one is in the Italian league and can barely score over there, the other is a top-pairing defender.

still don't get what happened with that guy though... puts damn near 100pts as a rookie in Jr then steadily declines to the point of not being good enough for the AHL

He can thank Radulov for holding his hand. Just...I mean, (frank) that guy is a talented bumhole

1. Alexander Radulov (F) 62 61 91 152 23 21 34 55
2. Angelo Esposito (F) 57 39 59 98 23 6 5 11


They took Esposito off his line in the playoffs.

This may sound dumb....Is it possible to sign a player to a one year deal then sign them to a contract extension the next day? In leafs case it would definitely help to keep that cap hit down for next year. Sign kadri and franson to one year 3 mill contracts then give them a long term contract with the money and term they want right after.

Sounds too good to be true, ergo, I doubted.

Smells like circumvention.

Sorry... I shall be speaking on behalf of Stee-Dot for the next 24 hrs due to the fact Howie recently awoke.

I love Ergo. If there's a 50 cent replacement for a word out there... I'll use it!!

I think for me it's that I'm surrounded day in, day out by some of the smartest mofo's in the province, and yet being a scientist so often seems to preclude being able to communicate effectively. As such, everyone reaches for a thesaurus at the drop of a hat, and proceeds to spout the most ill-conceived sentences known to man, where a simple one would suffice.

Put simply, I hear people say "ergo" a lot, and it really pisses me off!!!!

You typed "doubted" when grammatically you should have used "Doubt it," ergo, you made yourself look silly.

You should have really used a semi-colon rather than a comma after "Hockeybuzz"

Why is that dumb? I think it's a great idea especially for Franson. Doesn't have to be the next day though. Sign him to a 1 year 3.4 m deal. Then first few months of the season. Lock him up for 4 or 5 at 4+.

Risk for him though. Can't see why Franson would do it.

What if he gets a concussion opening night? still gonna give him that 5 yr deal?
