The Leafs biggest need is for people to start spelling players' names properly.

D, D, D and more D. But like D that can play D. Oh, and a stay at home D, that specialises in D.

The virtue of Reimer right now is that he's cheaper than Dubnyk. I'm not sure we'd be terribly more confident in him.

Gardiner is pretty similar in skillset to Schultz, though further along defensively and a little more conservative.

Not sure I get you - which of the two is further along?

Never!!!

I would also add that Bernier is much better at playing the puck behind the net.

Fair enough ,so a young shutdown defender .

Gardiner is probably better positionally than Schultz at this point.

Don't care about his age. Just that he/she/it can play D.

Colin Dambrauskas: Leafs Not Deep Enough For Win Over Avs; Is Reimer Becoming Expendable?
- Colin_Dambrauskas

I sure hope they resolve this goal tending controversy and soon! It's a very distracting issue for the team.

Bernier + Reimer < Luongo

Gardiner + Bozak + pick for a young stud C

Gardiner + Reimer for a physical shutdown Dman who can play the big minutes so Dion doesn't have to.

Either of those moves makes this a much better team.

I sure hope they resolve this goal tending controversy and soon! It's a very distracting issue for the team.

Go back under your bridge and look up the definition of controversy.

You should look up the definition of controversy.

Really? I watched two Oiler games so far and thought Schultz played pretty well - certainly on the offensive side...looks like we maybe looking at the same player, just with different names. Grass is greener scenario.

Yep, probably could have had Hainsey at the same price as Ranger

No expectations here so every win is a bonus... it's nice to have everyone say your team can't and then do...
On the other hand ... apparently Leafs need defencemen ... we seem to have an an abundance of that position... nah... never mind.

Read it out of context, and by read I mean skimmed. Apologies.

Didn't see you're a nucks fan. Makes sense now.

I see what you did there...nice try.

Just what the Leafs need - more top 6 wingers! Way to go Berger.

Yeah cause you wouldn't want a potential 40 goal scorer, that would make no sense. Especially for a goalie and defenseman that could both be expendable.

Reimer could become expendable but not at this point. Unless the Leafs get a great offer, similar to the Gardiner situation there's no point in moving Reimer. Besides the return on goalies never seems to be all that jaw dropping.
