That money is much better spent up front.............Phaneuf just doesn't bring that much to the team on D. Don't like this deal.

Dion is going to die within the next 8 years?
- Bigzby

We have you on record.

i dont understand what the contradiction is

his first olympics he was too green .. shouldnt of been there.. by the next olympics he had 4 world cups under his belt..and a few spenglers as well i belive. he wasnt green anymore when it came to pro international tourneys.

there is no contradiction

Man you guys are getting butt hurt about this. Whether Nash or Hall or neither are on the team, Canada will have the best team on paper in the tourney. Done

Good chance he get shot by a potato farmer.

What tells you that?

skipped words that werent typed maybe
- Dozzer

It was convo with me and robin after the " if hall was a leaf bit"

He said Kessel gets lots of love. I said ya now that he's a ppG player, before not so much. He said halls a ppG player too...

Then you guys argued for 3 pages

Do you understand now ?
- robin_steele264

even if i give you the fact you were talking about the last two years you said kessel wasnt a PPG player and Hall was.

that's where you contradicted yourself

neither are PPG players over their career.. if you cut it down to the last couple.. both are over.

please explain to me why you were arguing that Hall was and Kessel wasnt

dion at 7

or 2 D men at 4.5 who combine being better than 1 D man at 7

that is the question!
- big_dion

That all depends on who's available.

best defenseman on the team by a wide margin, better than anyone hitting UFA this year.

Likely better than anyone hitting UFA for the term of his contract.

So it's sign him, or let him go and get a helluva lot worse.

sometimes you gotta take a step back to take 2 steps fwd. cliche but it's true.

dion paid more than Chara

Page 7: I asked what was incorrect.. Robin responded with Kessel is a PPG player

not sure how I am misinterpreting this

I might be reading this wrong but that math doesn't add up.

I disagree

I would rather have 2 of the below than one Phaneuf

Giradi
Orpik
Boyle
Robidas
Greene
Niskanen

Bit harsh no?

Can't send him down to the Marlies to get his legs back, one of the bottom feeders will snatch him up.....
- Byfuglien Ate Me

I see what you're saying... we should ask for something of value from them, in return for helping them secure a lottery pick.


Very crafty.

Leafs take any more steps back and they are in the AHL.

I might be reading this wrong but that math doesn't add up.
- Bigzby

obviously, but for 1 million to have a D corps that is better than dion himself at 7...

Those 2 guys aren't available though

Niskanen and Greene.

both around 4ish id guess.

Yea, but the Leafs aren't in a position to do that. They're not a rebuilding team anymore. If they start shedding their best players, they may as well dump everyone over 25 and try again.

I disagree

Giradi
Orpik
Boyle
Robidas
Greene
Niskanen
- LeafMan

That's the problem it takes two of them to replace one of them.

I long for the good ol days when we were getting out shot 37-14 by Minnesota and winning

Ya I almost jumped in when he said that... That's as kinda sphere it went off the rails
