Jan Levine suggests Rangers finish 30th.
- Woderwick

Is McDavid next up ?

missing two pieces for opening night...winger on 3rd line (colbourne/ashton) and winger on 4th, assuming that maclaren won't be ready...

Not a chance in hell.

holzer
colborne
liles

If and only if Franson and Gardiner continue to improve this season....perhaps one of them.
If they resign Phaneuf next year....they simply will have to let go of some of their forwards (Bolland, Kulemin).
Wont be enough cash or space.
They need to clear some room for the some kids to play

Not to sound like HH but he's not going to be a #1 pairing in the NHL

Thier d and goaltending is too good for that.

- allaboutsportz

ashton will make the team i feel.

devane may play til mclaren is ready?

We should bring Biggs back up, I'd say he's the closest player we have in the system to Clarkson.

- Garnie

so easy to tell with all those NHL games hes played...

I hope so

If not Kartman from Colorado will be all over us
- Garnie

Nah, I like Franson. And hope he does well. For multiple reasons. I want the Leafs to succeed, and I want him to have a higher value when we flip him at the deadline. Hes a swell 3rd pairing D with second pairing potential, but he isnt needed long term. That's all.

Could see that, they're extremely overrated.
- ThePresident

So stay away from Lundqvist in a hockey pool?

I hope so

If not Kartman from Colorado will be all over us
- Garnie

I'll just ignore him!

We should bring Biggs back up, I'd say he's the closest player we have in the system to Clarkson.
- ThePresident

I don't think they are close at all.

Is McDavid next up ?

Dirty Bastards!

Trade for Hank.. Please.

well i think raymond fills his void til 11th game.

thats my opening line up with clarkson suspended.

Now only if i could build a time machine and tell Clarkson not to jump
- mykokes

i think your time machine would be more useful to go back and not sign clarkson to that horrible deal. having kadri and franson locked up in the summer and go through a full camp would have helped more than a 3rd liner will. his stupidy may have cost the leafs critical points from those first 10 games plus the extra time it will take him to get into game shape once he's back. selfish play. dumb play. what kind of leader is that?

seeing that our top 6 is pretty much locked up for a while, maybe packaging Colbourne with Liles ain't a bad idea, he ain't cut up for a Carlyle type 3rd/4th line role

Biggs....meh.

Easily 2nd pair, Phaneuf is overrated 10 fold.

Not only I think that, most NHLers do too

Jan Levine suggests Rangers finish 30th.
- Woderwick

Sounds about right....

Dirty Bastards!
- Woderwick

It would be a move, I can't see them getting away with it. Imagine, top of the payrole, and 30th..

So stay away from Lundqvist in a hockey pool?
- Woderwick

Lundqvist is a great goalie, if they do well this season it will be solely because of him, as that usually is the case. The Rangers are not even close to being a playoff team if they don't have Lundqvist bailing them out every night over the last few seasons.

Way too early to confirm that.
So much time.

- therealagent

So we don't sign him and that hurts us for 82 games?

How does that help?

Ever make a mistake before?
