Peter Holland fans take note, The #leafs are 5-0 since he was recalled on Jan 13, and 15-9-3 with him in the #leafs lineup

Correlation does not imply causation
Phil Kessel being white hot seems more of a reason.

Leafs were 10-9-3 with Holland in the line up before kessel went on a streak

Oh and I like Holland and want him playing

you see what MDZ just got the rags?

looks like the market just isnt there for d-men this year.

cause sather is usually the guy owning the trade market.

Gio >>> MDZ.

Seems like as Kessel goes, so go the Leafs.

So you are thinking Gardiner for Klein would be OK?

Works both ways!!!

He didn't play in the Finals. Might have played against the Wild.
- Elbows15

my guess is he was only inserted when another team was taking a few too many liberties

Gio >>> MDZ.
- sanfordnson

GIO>>>MDZ

MDZ=GARDINER=KLEIN

Gardiner has 1 skill...skating...zero hockey sense...ZERO

Franson makes great hard passes..actually harder passes then Gardiners shot.



I give up...Gards ice went up...Leafs points didn't...move him back to 3rd pairing where he should be and bingo!!!! ( Gleason hasn't hurt either )
- Garnie

Orrrrrrrrrrrrrrr maybe cause Holland has been inserted back in the lineup?

Orrrrrrrrrrrrrrr maybe cause Gleason is now there to bail out Franson??

So you are thinking Gardiner for Klein would be OK?

Works both ways!!!

no i dont.. and i'm not even a huge gards fan

i dont know how the (frank) the preds pulled that off. which tells me there is a weak market this year for d-men.

its the only explanation i can think of.. sather is no fool on the trade market.

Gio >>> MDZ.

RFA and UFA status and age balance that out a bit

ashton has been no favourite of mine, but damn clarkson has been a disappointment of epic proportions.
ashton plugs a hole on the cheap, I can respect that......clarkson at 5 milly, not so much.

its gonna be a long long long 7 years i think

- Dozzer

Not really. Q was trying to light a fire. He was not happy with their intensity level in the 1st round.

Also, as strange as this reads, the guy who set the physical tone in the playoffs last season, was Sharp.

Sather was not going to trade him in the east

Now it down to 6.4 years left

the islanders are the team that could of been

imagine if they held onto luongo and chara?
- Dozzer

Imagine if we drafted Luongo instead of trading for Wendel?.....imagine if we drafted Neidemyer instead of trading for Kurvers?

Good point

Take away teams the sucky teams and the pool gets smaller

No they don't. MDZ is the same one dimensional player he's always been.

Imagine if we drafted Luongo instead of trading for Wendel?.....imagine if we drafted Neidemyer instead of trading for Kurvers?

Imagine if Eklund was a successful muscian.......... then we wouldn't be here on this board.

colin has his blog up folks

I go far enough back to imagine if the Hawks didn't trade Esposito, Hodge, and Stanfield.

- MTL1

another good point......... also take away the teams that already have solid D's.

The pool becomes very very small.

Are you trying get rid of us?

- faceto27

Depends which country/state you're in.

More like teams in the west that are in spot 5 to 10 in the playoff pic
Only ones in the picture
