Yeah I know joel its about points.

You damn right it's about points.

You want to make a case for Sullivan's other intangibles? Like his defensive game and physical side? How about his faceoffs? Seems to be more important than logical stats in your world.

You actually say that like you think its a plausible option.

Its plausible until I get that sweet, sweet first drink inside me.

Then all bets are off!

High 5. You've called a whole lot of stupidity happening, when there wasn't even to many people who disagreed with the idea it would happen in the first place.

You're a prophet.

Yeah the place was full of Bozak will be re-signed advocates.

This season is going to have a lot of side stories to watch!!!
Bozak vs. Grabs will be leading the way (Gardiner making HH look like a fool a close second).

My money is on Bozak to have a better season the Grabs this coming year...

Will be fun to watch.

- Cooshie

Bozak will be on the top line with Lupul and Kessel, while Grabo will be on someones second line....I would hope Blozak has a more productive season.

You don't have to be an advocate of it to be realistic enough to admit its stupid, and will probably happen anyways.

This is what you're not getting.

Matt Stajan two seasons of 55 and 57 points. Your kind of player.

Three playoff games in 10 years. A real winner that.

69 games.
- honesthockey


Should Gardiner play in three more games this year for the Leafs, he'll have to clear waivers if Toronto wants to send him back to the AHL, in which case the Leafs would risk losing him to a waiver claim.

You're the one comparing him to Sullivan.
- honesthockey


i am saying the last time the leafs let a forward on contract go for nothing it burned them

badly

also.. lets mention the PPG ratio for what amounts to roughly the first 250 games of their careers.

Grabovski: 150P in 250GP: PPG% = 0.613

Sullivan: 179P in 276GP: PPG% = 0.649

they are actually very very very close.

So you're suggesting that Matt stajan is a bum, and he's still better than bozak.

Weird.

That was never the bet, ya cheeky bastard.

You're so lost in delusion you made it a one way street.

Gardiner has to clear waivers to go down, so you may as well do the big favour and pack it in now.

Don't argue with HH. When you use actual logic and reason, he points out pointless things and utilizes the "lol'" smiley.

Then, when you use his own faulty logic and reason to point out that he's wrong, he'll explain that he was being attacked by everyone in the thread and everyone mis-understood what he said.

I know Gm's rarely make offer sheets.
But how awesome would it be if a team put in an offer sheet for Kadri at 4.5 - 5 million?

This place would be hilarious!

ya he's played 93 professional games

making him non waiver exempt



Select a player to calculate his waiver status. If the player you are looking for is not listed, please email [email][email protected][/email] or let us know via Twitter.


Jake Gardiner is not exempt from waivers.

The following chart shows the number of years (not including 2013-14) or games he had to play to lose his exemption and highlights in red the totals that equal or exceed them.

This result is based on the data you entered: Player appeared in one or more professional game after signing his first NHL contract in 2011-12; and player has appeared in 93 career NHL regular season and playoff games games. If this information was entered incorrectly, the calculator will generate an incorrect result.

YEARS GAMES
EXEMPT UNTIL 3 69
TO DATE 2 93

It took all of two more posts to get him to that point.

Guy is the biggest troll on these boards, and he's allegedly a leaf fan. Hilarious.

What faulty logic. If stats were the final indicator then Grabovski would still be here centering Kessel.

Here's what Dave Poulin had to say:

AB: How do you see the season Grabovski had last year, and the circumstances leading up to his buyout? He took on some tough assignments last season.

DP: He did. He did without question. But we felt as a group that he didn’t fit with what we are doing right now. You look down the middle and you had the continued growth of Nazem Kadri in that position, you had the play of Tyler Bozak, then you had the addition of Dave Bolland and the play of Jay McClement. You’ve essentially got four pieces there that we feel fit what we’re doing and the direction we’re going in, and in that circumstance we didn’t feel Grabo fit.
AB: As the team’s highest paid center at the time who had put up good numbers in the second line role the two seasons previous, why do you think Grabovski never got an extended look beside Kessel?

DP: I think they’ve had looks, but I don’t think the two players fit. It’s interesting because you can look on paper and say, why wouldn’t these two players fit? But the styles wouldn’t necessarily fit.
