Anything involving Tyler Myers would not count as a blockbuster. Guy has turned out to be a bust either because of the way he's been coached or how he's progressed. He doesn't lay huge hits like his size would lead you to believe, doesn't play well in his own zone like his size would lead you to believe, and he shoots right into the shins of defenders on the PP he's supposed to be quarterbacking.

No thanks to Myers. Guy's turned out horrible for what he was "supposed" to be.

Ahhhhh geez the guy is only 23. Don't d-men mature later than forwards?

The Leafs are dominating at every level of hockey.
- Leafland

It is worrisome how long it's been since he played strong hockey though. A sophomore slump isn't a big surprise, but 3 years now after his strong rookie campaign?

He just looks so awkward out there.

So does anyone else here get the impression that RC may be bad news with regards to developing Dmen?

I don't mind him working on Gardiner, as he needs to be better, but if he can't show patience then it may become trouble with Reilly too.

Gardiner doesn't need to go. He needs more time. It's not like much of the rest of the blueline has been spectacular.

I owe u the big one...

I think Phaneuf has more reason to worry than Gardiner. Have Gardiner & Rielly in the 1st & 2nd pairings with Franson & Gardiner on extensions using the cash saved when Dion goes UFA. I like Dion but he's not worth 6.5+. Go with the kids imo

Phaneuf has looked great. If the Leafs dump him, goodbye to playoff chances.

So @darrendreger just told us on TSN Radio that a Philly source openly wondered whether Luke Schenn can even play anymore.

Steal of the century. I think JVR cracks 30 this year, maybe even 35

Cant believe im saying this but i agree Dion to valuable to this team at this point..

I think what Leafs are lacking is a behemoth d man. What about a blockbuster trade like Buffalo's Tyler Myers to TO for Gardner plus something else? Sabres offense desperatley needs a spark. Leafs have Reilly so they would be alright.
- GCHonda

Myers isn't a behemoth. he's massively overpaid and wouldn't fit into the cap.

- RogerRoeper

Well he won the Calder as a rookie. Had the sophmore slump the following season which happens. In his 3rd season, it was a shortened season. So he's still young & he's gots lots of time to improve.

How bad do we regress with Gardiner and Rielly? Dion is really being underrated.

- RogerRoeper

The only prob is the cap space going forward, cause 15+ million on Phileuf won't bode well if they wanna keep Bolland, Raymond, and at least a couple d men next year. You look at all the young guys headed to restricted and it doesn't look good after this year and especially after next.

If the Leafs can't re-sign Dion by next summer, than Tyler's cap hit can fit.

Ahhhhh geez the guy is only 23. Don't d-men mature later than forwards?

myers was never considered to be able to grow into a behemoth. He's a skater, a puck mover.


He's soft as butter in August.

- AngryWhiteMale

Still think Schenn on the Leafs now would be a solid player in our system but love that trade as it has worked out very well for the leafs..JVR has been great for the leafs..

The cap is going way up. I'd rather ditch Bolland to be honest. He's looked good but given injury concerns, we can't expect this every season.

Phaneuf wants to stay..He will be re-signed before new summer...
