lol i've never been there. maybe that is a good thing.

Best thing about Ohio is the highway going out.

Yet Kadri laid out bigger hits than Johanson. It is not always the size.

Some players step up when needed…



Some players fold like a cheap lawn furniture.

next years top 6 : guess:

jvr-bozak-kessel
lupul-nylander-kadri


- Lucas Neilson

Im hoping Lupul gets traded.

Also, think Nylander said he prefers winger. And kadri prefers center so theyd obviously be switched.


Gotta admit, that 2nd line would be solid offensively, but who backchecks

so do i. interested?
- Lee Denault

We already have him

Canuck players

Oh theyre different players, im not arguing that. I'd take Johansen over him any day.

But throwing in a first and Franson for him? That first rounder is a deal breaker for me.
- jbold

nonono,

you said: page 22 last post



I probably wouldnt even trade Kadri for Johansen straight up..

backpeddling.ca

bold, you mess with the big dog, you get bit

I'd rather offersheet Johanssen.

$5,046,586 to $6,728,781 First-, second-, and third-round pick


That way, you have 2 very good young centers.

You could flip Bozak, and Franson in separate deals to compensate the draft picks
- jbold

Done! Now where's the cap space coming from? You'd have to make the Bozak and Franson trades first, and then hope CBJ doesn't match.

johanson will be..

big strong.. good skater

kadri isnt physically big enough to ever mature into that

franson (frank)ing sucks and i'd like to give him concrete boots and toss him in the lake
- Dozzer

im fairly certain his feet are made out of concrete already

to play against top defense at C you have to be able to muscle your way to the net

the best Cs in the league are big and strong (barring crosby whose fitness levels are insane and is by far the best player in the league right now)

getzlaf, richards, carter, thornton, krejci, toews etc etc etc

its not about the hits.. its the strength

Oh boy, I can't wait for the Canucks and Habs and Oilers fans to get a hold of this one.

You need to rewrite this to assure everyone you aren't actually suggesting that Bozak and/or Franson would fetch a 1st round pick.

We already have him

'play bigger than he is'

so do i.......interestedddddd???

"I probably wouldnt". I was debating it at the time, thats why I said "Probably wouldnt'..

Posters on here made some good points so I change my mind.

Can we just trade for Thornton already

Crosby's built like a minotaur. He's plenty strong.

and not being a diving little female dog. Kadri's got good skill, and is probably our best C right now, but my goodness I get tired of seeing him flop like a fish

I was reading an article by James Tanner on another site who suggested:

Kessel Kadri Clarkson (not sure who he wanted LW, prolly DC)
JVR Bozak Lupul

Interesting.
- walshyleafsfan

Clarkson on the 1st line?

No.

im fairly certain his feet are made out of concrete already

Noooooooo.

Thinking more of the 2nd and 3rd.

Id be able to live giving up a first by offersheeting RJ, rather than including both Kadri AND a first.

It's moot as I don't believe the Leafs own their own 2nd rounder right now

krejci is 170lbs

Can we just trade for Thornton already
- Yeti1181

I love Joe Thornton.

But trading for him would be a very bad idea.

- 1979AD

You can do the trade now and try to get under the cap by season start, cant you?


Do the deal first, then trade bozak and Franson
