You didn't like what he brought?

Energetic player who checked hard every game, name one Leaf this season that is comparable.

I agree, and it would be nice to have 2 players of similar skills in the 3rd and 4th lines over the likes of Orr or McLearen.

Well see thats the problem..Some seem to think him not being here is a fault of the Leafs..I'm sure Nonis/Leafs offered him a contract @ league minimum if not a little more and realistically thats all he's worth for what he brings....

Three dudes to watch

Nikolai Prokhorkin 20 year old Kings prospect, finally hitting his stride beside Radulov...probably hitting the coke with old Rads too

Jan Kovar undrafted (24 years old soon) on the top KHL line and producing like a madman, might be worth a signing to see how he could do in NA.

Artemi Panarin been talking about him a lot, 22 years old, pure sniper, not sure he'd ever make the NHL but (frank) has a beautiful shot and speed. Undrafted as well.

I'm hearing Orr will be sent down, FML will only be used when needed and Nonis will get an upgrade over Ranger at the Deadline for the 6-7 Dman.

Paul will be devastated and go back to the Meth!

At first, I thought he was joking, and Peter C Newman was the guy from Mad Magazine.
- prock


Actually, Peter C. Newman was the editor of MacLean's magazine for about 11 years. Before that, he was the Editor of the Toronto Star. He wrote the best seller, "The Secret Mulroney Tapes", among about 34 other books, mostly about Politics and Canadian History. Currently, I've been helping to research his present book, "Hostages To Fortune", that should be out sometime this summer. Google away!

The guy from Mad Magazine was Alfred E. Newman, I believe.

Komarov is missed, nobody denies that. I'd like to see him and Clarkson in the roster.
