Your nuts their no body cuming.

sounds wonderful and yeah.. lately its been insane.. if you include the highway travel, the gigs, work, and work site visits i havent had a day off in 5 weeks

tomorrow all i have to do is wake up at 6am and help dani load in the market, come home, and do a full blown cleaning at our place.

its my day off, this is how i am spending it, and i am actually looking forward to it

Great job by the management, they should get extensions.
- LeafMan

not sure if this is serious or not lou

a few of the moves im happy about, they wont gut us in the future.

but i still see reimer, franson kickin around and we never really gave dion a true partner.

sure he can play with robidas, but...he still isnt a legit #2 d man.

i knwo you dont like dion, thats fine, but im sure you can agree he would play a better all round game if he had a partner better than kostka, gunnerson or holzer.

seems to me we NEVER get the big piece we need, #1C, top d man to help dion.

it's all gouda buddy

uh oh the cheese buns puns have begun

JVR - Bozak - Kessel
Frattin - Kadri - Clarkson
Santorelli - Kontiola - Komarov
Leivo - Carrick - Bodie

Phaneuf - Polak
Rielly - Robidas
Gardiner - ?

Bernier

This is what Nonis' view on 'culture change' might look like.

Lupul, Franson, Reimer, Holland traded away.
Prospects and 2015 1st round picks, + good D and backup goalie coming other way.

Ashton, I don't like.
Orr and MacLaren have no place on this team.

I would not mind going with this team, at this point of time makes sense to keep options open for 2015.

my personal preference would be to add Phaneuf and Kadri to the group of Lupul, Franson, Reimer, Holland, Ashton.

In this way, focus on a real culture change which enables you to have some faith in the future (2-3yrs from now) and would give the following lineup for start of this season:

JVR - Bozak - Kessel
x - x - Clarkson
Leivo - Kontiola - Komarov
Frattin - Santorelli - Bodie

Rielly - Robidas
Gardiner - Polak
x - x

Bernier

In bold, the players you want to build your team around.

trade ideas:

Phaneuf to PHI, Couturier coming back
Phaneuf to FLA, Barkov coming back
Reimer to SJ, Stalock coming back
Lupul to Arizona, 1st rounder 2015 coming back
Franson to NYI, Cizikas coming back
Ashton to TB, 2nd rounder coming back
Holland to PIT, 2nd rounder coming back

Hard to replace when the candidate pool is empty. #1 centres and #1 D are the hardest to acquire.

one upside of this FA period in this respect is not having to read anymore of those 'KulImEn' mentions

I'm at the office...waiting for a client to show up... let's re-hash some discussions about hockey...

Are Grabo and Kulimen over paid on the Island?

Oh gawd.
Lupul is our secondary scoring with kadri...we still need offence.
Please enough with Frattin on the second line.

Jesus...

If we can't trade Franson and Reimer for anything worthy, we should keep them now that we've revamped the bottom 9 and added Robidas.......if we can afford them after Gards and Holland are signed and if we still have a little cap space left for the trade deadline..

Who is out there though that can handle the job? I see no one who is available.
- LeafMan

ah yes.. the "Whos better?"

leafs average about 22nd place with these guys in charge. the richest organization in the league cant put all its money and resources together to find the best replacements.

thats maybe the problem..the people above them cant see the issues either.

No Idea what Shanahan is up to yet... so far he is just letting Nonis hang himself

Hard to replace when the candidate pool is empty. #1 centres and #1 D are the hardest to acquire.

especially when you already feel you possess both

I absolutely love what Nonis has done so far. I am so giddy to finally have a bottom 6 that can play hockey. It's like Christmas. Happy happy days.

Morning fellas, Did a tornado touch down in Ontario yesterday ?? There were warnings..
- bixll

Yea, heard something about it on the radio. 7th of the year already.

Almost got caught in one on monday- was going to algonquin, but turned back in huntsville when I saw a tornado warning on my phone.

Just heard today that one did touch down just north east of huntsville.

So pissed that my girlfriend made us turn back. Woulda loved to snap some pics.
