I think Brett Connolly would be my target still has star potential

I believe it worked the year prior 'cause the big boys went out the first few shifts and hit everything that moved... or tried to. That lead to fights in the second have of the first period and early second... set the tone for the game.... cleared the ice for the Kessel's and Kadri's to work.

Teams caught on and decided not to engage and play that game..nullifying it and making it useless, basically taking the 4th line away from us

I had high hopes for him.. But anyone named Connolly worries me.

this is exactly the kind of player that the Red Wings pick off for a late round pick... put in the minors for one year... get them in their system and turn into a really useful player for years.

clearly Glennie ain't getting a top 6 spot with the Stars any time soon...

wings get too much credit and their luck is running out. No more late round superstars in the system. Their early round pick have been pretty bad for the last decade.
In closing
fuk them

Fair enough

[quote=Feeling Glucky?]Shoulda just let him walk,


Fixed that for you..

Isn't the whole reason Reimer is going to arb is to force the Leafs to trade him?
- Arctic_AARDVARK

It's strange that the media are making a big deal out of this at all - did they expect him just to accept his random qualifier? If he thinks he's worth more than 2.5 then they probably go to arb if not then they probably work something out.

no disagreement... but you look at a guy like Dan Cleary... they picked him off the heap... and turned him into a really useful contributor for years.

Komarov will bait them. I love watching players chase after him for no apparent reason.

A simple defence against those goons.
Get a 4th line that is tough on the puck and can actually play a bit. Build a 4th line with the PK in mind in order to get them more ice time and help conserve the top 6 over a very long season.

once bitten ... twice shy?

drop the full blown negativity or i am getting rid of you

i am not nearly as nice as Leafman is.

this is trolling.. all you are doing is spewing negativity about the team.. fan or not.. its not acceptable.

That is not what we are getting at, read my earlier post.

I have sneaking suspicion Reimer will end up in Dallas... but for what return I don't know... perhaps a D-prospect from their AHL squad or Glennie.

I was disappointed for MacIntyre that the Leafs didn't give him a $1M contract and assume he would be the back-up... I think he deserved that vote of confidence.

I'm surprise ottawa did not get him in the Spezza trade.

female doging and female doging without providing any insight as to why or a solution is prolly what he means.

So true. People like to post about how the Leafs still were one of the top fighting teams last year but the difference was it wasn't the heavyweights figthting it was the Lupul's and Clarkson's. The goons are done. I'd maybe keep one of Orr/McLaren as the 14th forward and dress them only for games that might get stupid.

I'm not sure what this lineup's gonna look like next year. Lots of guys that could potentially play in that 2nd line winger spot... Frattin and Komarov both had chemistry with Kadri(Komarov and Kadri was/would be hilarious to watch), Clarkson may get there by default, or may actually earn it(that'd be sweet), and Santorelli, Holland, and maybe that new KHLer have the skill to play in that role.

Leo Clarkov just immediately stops as soon as he hears the whistle. Drives them even more cray cray.

That's not what he said at all. But constant we suck, this sucks Everything is garbage gets annoying to other posters and we are not dealing with it anymore.

I don't think these guys are living pay cheque to pay cheque..
