Brophy was / is a local of sorts. One crazy family.. They would rather fight, than play hockey. And they were pretty good players.

From a source..." the Edmonton Oilers are putting together a major package for a big time top two defenseman on a team that is still playing in the NHL playoffs... This trade would include their first round selection, plus a major player and would return the defender and a first and second round pick."

Man oh man, you're real dense.
- ThePresident



Obviously because you're right.

Gunner score more, but Morris is better. Gunner is a plus and morris is a minus, but morris is better. Gunner hits and blocks more, but Morris is better. Yeah, I'm dense.

I am not sure what you are trying to say

all I am saying is I want to see how this team can play with a different coach before tearing it down totally

- senstroll


Gunnarson is dog poop, you don't need a different coach to figure that out.

And I was saying Kadri had a good season, IMO anyway...

Gunnarson is fine as a 3/4/5 you are not going to find much of an improvment for 3 mil or less

anyways not really my point.. I dont care who is good and crap .. there are lots of crappy players playing in the playoffs

Cat poop then? Or some other form of poop, but he's not the stud you're making him out to be. He's a 3rd pairing D... whoopdefukndo, lets build around him

This debate over Gunnarson vs. Morris is lunacy.

Not only is Morris 8 years older, but the salary/cap hit will be pretty much even after Morris' next deal. Any upgrade or difference in terms of skill between this two players is so small that it's practically irrelevant and is basically a lateral more. That said, given the difference in age and the fact that Gunnar is already under contract, the advantage goes to him.

Aim higher, lads!

They're not building around him I was being sarcastic.

He's horrible dude, does nothing particularly well and gets maybe 10 minutes of ice on a good team.

If the Leafs want to make progress they need to divest themselves of poopbags like Gunnarson.

Gunnarsson really doesn't suck as much as you're making it sound like he does. He's just miscast as a top pairing defenseman.

you are under selling them... this past season is just an abomination.. the whole team was a disaster in possession and shot differentials. Not a few individual players.. the whole team..

I agree. He's fair value for now. As time goes on 4 - 6th dman are going to be making 3 mil unless on ELC and until we bring some guys up he's what we've got.

and the rumours of him playing through an injury have been going strong for like 3 years now.

He's a solid 2nd pairing guy, I think.
