i just know everything i heard about him reminds me of gardiner.. good offensive vision, strong skating, not great in his own zone.

the leafs need another gleason type guy
- Dozzer

They're developing a few of them. Granberg and Percy

i hear ya. Hes good defensively. Great on the forecheck. He not a liability. He knows his role. And just cuz hes not putting 30 pucks into the net each year anymore you dont want him on the leafs? i think we have 6-7 other forwards that can score goals for us. Hes a great piece to a puzzle. Idiotic to trade him. Let him walk after the year if you can SUBSTANTIALLY make the lineup better

Agree with you but that is exactly why he is worth something right now before the deadline. Something that could make the team better long term. You have to at least listen if someone calls.

Not trying to start a war, but our guys (USA and Canada) have more heart and desire to win, and most of all respect the TEAM Concept.

100% right

There is no need to move Kulemin. If he walks during the summer because another team is foolish enough to pay him like a goal scorer, then so be it.

But he plays a lot more minutes and doesn't exclusively start in the offensive zone. Nor is he an offensive defenseman like Gardiner or Franson.

Just looked below 50% ozone starts.

Sorry dozier.-

I have a feeling that just like last year, the best trade will be the one that we DONT make

Cause Burkie is gone

DAMN YOU EGO! DAMN YOU!

Dan Boyle would be a sexy pickup, and Id be comfortable giving him a 2 year deal at the right price too.

An actual mentor and leader for our young D to learn from too. Its really what we need, Im sold.

Sharks want Kulemin?

Keep Kulemin

He's got a no trade and if memory serves he barely lifted it to go to SJ from Tbay.

yeah i know.. if i were in charge i'd ship franson out and promote one of them to play sheltered minutes with gardiner.

That's where giving him the extra year comes in handy.

Addition by subtraction. Raptors style. Rudy Gay Style. I like it!

who stays? all 3?


out of gardiner reilly and franson i would have to think that going into next season one would have to be moved?(not reilly) or can they keep all 3? when if so?

Keep Kulemin

thank you

I'm all for signing Boyle in the off season... he'd be a fantastic addition. Can't see the Sharks moving him.

thank you
- jimi james

I agree, don't screw with the current team chemistry. If it ain't broke.

Keep Kulemin
- senstroll

get a contract done then.

A friendly habs fan PM'ed this too

Boyles NTC is limited, and his control over it ended in 2012. His current NTC only holds enough value that he can pick 8 teams he can refuse a trade to, but the Sharks can trade him to any of the other 21 teams in the league without his approval.

So hes doable.

Not a bad Idea. We can't keep Rielly,Gardiner and Franson. Too much of the same.

Make a choice and replace with a stay at home guy . Need more of that.

Rielly goes nowhere so a choice between the 2 left and I can't stop looking at Franson's -14.

thank you
- jimi james

buy a time Machine and go back and not sign Clarkson so we can keep Kuli (cheaper) who is a better 3rd liner/2nd fill in

Say a heart and soul guy, not a North American guy.

I'd take a Danny Markov or Volchenkov in the d-core any day

get a contract done then.

moving franson likely would get you a nice prospect and pick too
