Kulemin has like 6 more points and Booth.

They are both bad players, i thinks that's the point Lefty is trying to make.
- Whiskey-Tango

Kulemin is going to get over $4 million a year in his next contract.

And I pray to God it isn't with the Leafs.

Except kulemin is a top notch defensive player, strong as an ox, and doesn't spend half the year on the IR.

He's a good player, declining. He isn't a bad player, but isn't the dominant player he used to be and no longer one of the elite players in the game. He is one of the better centers in the league, more on reputation this year than on production.

I think we should just let them believe that their players will buck the trend and get better at 35, and their prospects like yann sauve and Frankie corrado will be elite NHLers despite them being total junk in the AHL.

Meh whatever. You're right. The standings never lie.

Great game last night, and a solid way to go into the Olympic freeze. I couldn't imagine having to stew over a stinker. Imagine the Florida game was our last game into the break?

The movie "Owning Mahoney" is pretty darn good film.

The best part is, they're in nearly exactly same situation as the post lockout leafs, and actually seem pretty determined that they don't need to rebuild, effectively following the same path!!! It can only work out disastrous, so don't bother, just sit back and laugh.

Was Corrado the one who Esplen said was going to be on the 2014 Olympic team?

Man, that guy sure knew how to generate the hits.

Good times.

But he's got more than 0 goals, doesn't pull hair, and sticks up for water bottles.

Clarkson has more goals this week than burrows has all year!

Burrows is such an embarrassment. Completely useless too. Perfect douchebag player for a fan base full of them.

Let me help you out here:

What we are saying is the Canucks are now declining.

They may make the playoffs this year.

But every year, they are going to get a little worse.

Not poop the bed.

Just get a little worse.

Every year.
- Atomic Wedgie

Actually - in an incredibly humorous way the Canucks of 2014 are just like the vintage 07/08.

management overvalued the players>

McCabe Kaberle Tucker Domi all signed to very friendly contracts despite the spectre of age

Bieksa Garrison Hammouse Burrows

stars slowing
Sundin could muster up carrying the team like he did previously... but simply less often
Sedins are clearly slowing, the advent of injuries is just one sign. They have looked slow since their hearts were broken when the lost the to Bruins. Don't know about you ... but currently 33 years old and signed at 7M for another four seasons... maybe that was a bit of hefty reward....

and everyone knows - since Gillis told us - that Luongo has a good contract so I won't bother on that one.



Contracts
lots of mid-to-high end longer term contracts for players who best days are behind them

Overvalued youth

Leafs had virtually nothing at that time that was either top 6 forward or top 2 d-man material.

Canucks?
well... I'll let the Canucklefans fill that one in themselves.... except of course for Corrado - whom everyone acknowledges should be at the Olympics right now.


and before one of the Canucklevisitors in this thread comments about how we're going on and on about the Canucks...

1) perhaps we are... but its only because they are so interesting (control's laughter)
2) perhaps we are because we have finally realized that Hughson is correct about everything he says
3) perhaps we are because we're really all closet Canuck fans (vomit's in mouth)
4) perhaps we are because its just hilarious to listen to the rainy nation wax poetic over their declining hockey club.. and we just can't get enough.
5) perhaps we are because its simply better than listening or reading trade offers for Luongo.

'nuff said.

Agreed.

so - what you're saying is Clarkson has SOME value at $5.25M per year... whereas Burrows has less than "zero value"?

seems about right to me.

Montreal and Vancouver swap these players. Just like Lapierre. I wouldn't be surprised if Burrows makes a stop in Montreal before he's done.

Clarkson can play in this league, burrows is an embarrassment to this league. 750K difference.

As bad as burrows is playing this year, he's still a better option moving forward than Clarkson.

Clarkson was such a bad signing, don't even bother trying to defend it.

Like hell he is. Burrows is completely useless. Totally. On top of that he's an embarrassing douchebag. I wouldn't want him on the leafs for min salary. He's a detriment.
