another fin. Wonder if Komarov had something good to say about him.

Doesn't seem like an especially high scorer, though they don't count 2nd assists in the KHL, do they?...

new 4th line center?

I have no idea about him.

I very much agree, It's time for the Leafs to have some balls and trust a young player that did look good last year. Forget Legwand or Ott.

Talked to several people about Kontiola in past few days. Not a checker, he's better suited to running a power play etc.


3rd line center??

Look out Bozak! Competition for the top line!

Ro bidas leg worse than gunnars hip. Id rather go holland than legwand (terrible).

Again I think theyre much worse and you think theyre better. Im not whining or lowering my expectations hoping ill be pleasantly surprised. Ive seen this patch work many times through the late 90s and from 2005 - last year. It will be ugly but thats not a bad thing.

- clark_griswold


yeah and in the passed we would trade picks and prospects to get these older players.

we give up nothing for someone and it doesnt work, not end of the world.

Stick Clarkson and Komorov with him, maybe their attitude can rub off.. Frattin had chemistry with Kadri the season before he was traded so try him on line 2. Again some of this is contingent on who looks good at camp.

Right on...

I know people are saying we have changed a lot of the guys, but the key is that our core is exactly the same. The reason we suck is our core, not our 4th line or 3rd line center... we need to fix the core guys first...

Reports out of Finland have the Leafs signing veteran Euro free agent Petri Kontiola. Could be interesting.

Partly but the third and fourth line offered no help whatsoever, you need those lines to contribute or you are going nowhere.

I don't think this team is vastly improved or "much worse." Probably about the same as last season but a little better defensively.

We are actually in need of someone to show us where to fish! Father in law and I would like to fish, but it's proving to be difficult to obtain licenses and understanding what you can keep etc...seems rather strict up there.

What this says to me - Legwand is going in another direction.
