Komorov is going on the third at 3 million.

Frattin I can see on 4th. With ashton.

Leivo is my first option for top 9 call up.

- CanadianBodmon


So:

JVR-Bozak-Kessel
Lupul-Kadri-Clarkson
Komarov-Holland-???
Frattin-Kontiola-Ashton

?

If someone like Malone or Setoguchi came for the right price I don't think that would be a bad option for a 3W.

Oh good the Nylander with the Leaf suggestions have already started. Im sure it won't hurt his development at all.
- ejeezy

Some people want to see him make it, doesn't mean he will, some people get completely bent out of shape when some suggest they would like to see him succeed. Strange fan base.

step 1 buyout the hardest competing player
step 2 demand more compete

- senstroll

step 3 let go of a competing player with some skill
step 4 bring in compete with no skill

Wont happen. The League loves this illusion of parity they have right now. If they went to a system like that there would be a massive difference the top of the league and the bottom feeders.

Buffalo was 27 points behind Calgary last year.

You're right though. Shouldnt be but is.

I don't think Holland gets a gig. RC doesn't like him me thinks. I think we need Ott or Legwand.

JVR-Bozak-Kessel
Lupul-Kadri-Leivo
Komarov-Ott/Legwand-Clarkson
Kontiola-Carrick-Frattin

- iTOLDu

Carrick won't make the team and Kontiola is strongest at C.

I picked up Legwand in fantasy last year when he got picked up by Detroit. I started watching him closely and I hope the Leafs don't go anywhere near him.

stays pretty nice until right after Bernier gets injured.

WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED TO CAUSE A STAT THAT TAKES SV% INTO CONSIDERATION TO DROP?

Which was a complete fail, didn't we have a young natural centre that we traded for pretty much nothing because of Orr/FML? Hmmmm. Oh yea, Colbourne.

Leafs projected 2014-15 lineup
(Estimated $6.5-million remaining in cap space after RFAs signed)

Van Riemsdyk – Bozak – Kessel
Lupul – Kadri – Frattin
Komarov – Kontiola – Clarkson
Abbott – Holland – Ashton

Phaneuf – Robidas
Gardiner – Franson
Rielly – Polak

Bernier
Reimer

those 2 are a duo, played together with success

No kidding. I clearly specified that it was a bizarre, random prediction, yet somehow I'm assuming, hell, even WANTING him to make it.

Because I make personnel decisions and I personally am going to screw up his development, if its the last thing I do.

I didn't watch too much of him tbh. I thought I saw someone on here say he put up 50+?

my point is.. if price didnt get hurt.. the habs go to the final

i believe that 100%

- Dozzer


tokarski played as well as anyone could have. I do agree that you play different when you have confidence in a top goalie (price) but they couldn't score for the life of them.

Not knocking the habs but they were a cinderella. It's more the Rags don't get respect - they've won 6 playoff series in the last 3 years. And Hank is just as good if not better than Price.

So, are you trying to confirm what I said then?
- prock


82 games divided by 6. monts = 12.6 games per month.

So yeah, it's pretty close to 3 months... isn't it?

JVR-Bozak-Kessel
Lupul-Kadri-Setoguchi
Komarov-Ott-Clarkson
Ashton -Kontiola-Frattin

I think this is closer.


As for offense lost up front. I think giving Dion a stable partner will help it totals. Gards having his leash taken off = more points.

And of course, our beloved Rielly. I hope Shanny turns off the Kaberle videos he watches. And takes a slap shot.

because it failed. But that's how desperate the Leafs were, missing their centers to injury/suspension.


Funny how the Leafs' 2 slumps happened to coincide precisely with key injuries.

uhh, because of Orr/FML? I don't get it. What do they have to do with it? He was traded for a fourth. Because he never panned out. He showed promise, got hurt, never showed promise again. He's just not very good.

Gold Medal says otherwise

GO CANADA

I think stats theyre pretty close, slight edge to Price.
The calmness Price brings is unmatchable.

People in his face and it never bothers him.
