You forgot:

Yannick Perreault, the third time.

So jokes.

Winnik gets signed, the board gives the guy who broke it his props. Hell, anyone who breaks real news deserves our respect!

First thing he does after the signing is made official is come in here acting like a smug, cocky douche.



I love Hockeybuzz

Most people here have their egos overshadowed by the bigger players.

"king" got his chance and it got the best of him. Now he's a bust.

Oh, what a surprise - another Habs fan who is jealous that Stamkos and Subban are coming to Toronto.

Loser.

It was all fun and games until someone mentioned Tavares as well.

Whats the consensous of amongst Leaf fans on how lines will look now?

The one with Lupul will look gorgeous.

Hey! Yannick Perreault was decent... A decent 3rd liner

Crooked and not very uniform, height or weight wise.

Pffft. Watch the games...
- lumlums

so far it feels like we will be able to without cringing

Go Nonis Dubas!

Kent Manderville.

Terry Yake.

Chad Kilger

Mark Bell

Darby Hendrickson

Gawd, I could go on forever. The Leafs collect bad centres like I collect restraining orders.

Why is it that in the past 30 years, the Leafs have only had two good 3rd line centres?

Muller
Zezel

That is all.
- Atomic Wedgie

they have one now but he's playing on the 1st line.

Is it just me, or do we have 27 3rd/4th line centres now?

And still no #1...

Sigh.
- Atomic Wedgie

we're gonna unload them all in 1 big package for an elite


Sant-frat-winnik-booth- kont + holland + carter = elite centre trade.

He had 45-55 points seasons... not bad at all.

Was also VERY good at faceoffs.... even better than Bozak!

Go Nonis Dubas!

You know how sometimes you really worry that your 3rd line centre might get an injury?

Not a problem for the Leafs this year.

Hockey people need to do both these days, or fall behind.

The problem is the so called hockey fans, and some members of the media, who skip watching the games, then quote advanced stats as the only way to evaluate players.

We'll let you know when we are finished

Looking at the bright side of not having Bolland anymore?

Ah yes - the EA Sports NHL 2003 trade scenario.

I'll bet Dubas crunched the numbers.

That's a lot of centers on the leafs, is it?

Go Nonis Dubas!

I hit LAST on my remote an awful lot last year.

Not until you learn how to spell "site".
- TommyDeVito

Good point. Ek has set the bar on copy editing very high.

Toronto is the centre of hockey centers

not if you're a shrewd GM in a warm-weather non-traditional environment where hockey is massively unpopular!
- DoubleDown

Bam!

That's a lot of centers on the leafs, is it?

Like for High Management, quantity over quality

I'm getting tired of having to explain things to Habs fans.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornering_the_market

In finance, to corner the market is to get sufficient control of a particular stock, commodity, or other asset to allow the price to be manipulated. Another definition: "To have the greatest market share in a particular industry without having a monopoly. Companies that have cornered their markets usually have greater leeway in their decisions; for example, they may charge higher prices for their products without fear of losing too much business. Large companies, such as Wal-Mart or Microsoft, are considered to have cornered their markets."[1] In either case, the cornerer hopes to gain control of enough of the supply of the commodity to be able to set the price for it.

Yes Uncle Larry it is
