Are you saying don't draft Swedes?

I wonder if the Leafs are trying to get McBain.

Can play fairly big minutes, still fairly young, has some offensive upside, shoots right.

Good enough to be on the top pairing? Probably not... but better than Franson.

i'd be game for that, however he has never had a plus season.. but he's also been saddled with some pretty poopty teams

His dream faded when he went to Vancouver.

You're better than Franson.
- Woderwick

Probably a better skater... and I don't even know how to stop

you didnt mean it as such and dont even try to convince me you did.

I wouldn't waste my time.

His advanced stats don't look too bad pre-Buffalo.

True, but he also was the captain of his country's team that won Gold at the Olympics.

Not his fault our management thought that guys like Antropov and Ponikarovsky were first line wingers.

He played with terrible third line players and still finished his career as a PPG player

Nice!

Love it.

1. Promote King and Dineen now to assistants, move in new ones to work with Spott.

2. Fire Randy if he doesn't do what they are telling him to do and change his style, and move Spott to new HC with his old assistants.

3. Move one of the new Marlies assistants to Marlies HC after being shown the ropes by Spott.

4. Win all the trophies.

I used to know how to stop, but then I stopped.

Yup.

Surprised he hasn't found a home anywhere. Big-ish righty with good hockey sense. 26 years old.

Hard to find decent odr's in the GTA.. I probably wouldn't play much there either.. No being able to stop brings up many memories from tyke.

They're all packed, every winter... and a lot of people are worse skaters than me

Sister got KOed last year when some woman fell right in front of her.

Was passed out on the ice for a bit, rink staff didn't notice/care. Had to be hospitalized for a concussion and hypothermia, since nobody bothered to move her off the ice.
