From the blog:
An update for my readers:
Eklund and the admin staff have provided me with the opportunity to take on more blogs here at HockeyBuzz which I am greatful for. I will be continuing to write on a full time basis for the Flames, but will also write a few pieces on the Leafs as well.
There will be no interruptions in my Flames content, as we discussed that it remains my number one priority here, and I hope you have all noticed my commitment to the site since starting over a year ago. Since my first few guestblogs which I wrote for the Flames, the interest in the blog has risen quite a bit and is now one of the more popular reads on the site!
I'd like to thank all my readers so far and welcome any new ones as I start assisting Mike with some Leafs articles. Mike has been doing a solid job in his coverage and I will not be competing with him, it will be nothing more than to provide more content for the site.
Thanks again, and happy reading!

where the leafs are now is where the flames will be in 3-4 years, thats my guess.
burke is going to make a splash, there will be some question marks but it will all work out in the end.

I think we need to see the leafs make the playoffs in a full season before we can say they are 4 years ahead of the flames .... I do like their acquisitions in the off season ... Might be enough to get them in |

So random question - what are you guys hoping for production out of Baertschi this year? Keeping realistic expectations given the team...
Ill say 20 goals, 24 assists. |

Worst avatar ever.... 
Only thing that could make it worse is if it was a nucks/leafs combo... |

Lame attempt.
But in seriousness, you do a good job at blogging for a bad team... |

Man you guys have been awefully chatty in the past week! I think Baertschi will be VERY slow out of the gates this year, but as the team develops chemistry together and figures out Hartleys plans, I could see him starting to light it up. I prediect that he goes on a 5-6 game scoring streak |

I think it all depends who he's going to be playing with... I could see him developing some real chemistry with Galliardi and Hudler. I don't expect 60 points out of him, but 45 could be doable. |

I agree, Id like to see him keep playing with Hudler, they compliment each other well. Still waiting to get a full assessement on Galiardi at center though, as I havnt seen enough of him yet to really put in my two cents. |

Do we need to see this in every thread? It's not clever and it's not funny.
This is the only warning I'll give you, comments meant purely to incite will result in a ban.

Can you come over to the Florida thread bud? |

I think Baertschi is going to be more of an assist guy, at least to start his career. More Tanguay, less Iggy. 25-30 assists, 15-20 goals.

I like his speed and work ethic. He's the guy that will go in and dig the puck out so Baertschi and Hudler can make their magic happen. |

Make this your avatar, please. i can't stand seeing that half blue turd next to the half flame.

I hate Lanny for almost a year now, but given that Ek's asked me to write for both teams it seems fitting ...itll grow on you. Just be comforted knowing I would never write for the Canucks or Oilers |

I think he flourishes with Hudler who sees the ice very well and can dish him the puck. I think he'll come out with a respectable number of goals this year but like I said, likely a slow start. |

NOW the Calgary Flames are obvious contenders!
