He should be. Glad you guys finally got him over here, and that you guys didn't ship him to boston like you did Soderberg.
- mykokes



Was like a surprise first or second round draft pick in a way. He has looked very good in the two preseason games I have seen, already playing a north American style game unlike say Mueller. Of course, preseason isn't worth anything or all that telling necessarily except for guys like Mueller, lol.

The Leafs would be idiotic to trade Kadri.

He's the key to the Stamkos deal.

I'll take your word for it 'Kokes, but the dude was saying his presence would make acquiring Kadri redundant, as in Lehtera is as good if not better than Kadri. If this is the case, I'm going to need to re-address my fantasy pre-draft rankings.

Adding him AND Stastny makes it unnecessary. Pick 3 centers from Stastny, Lehtera, Steen, Backes, Berglund and even potentially Schwartz. There is no need to pay up to trade to get Kadri. Our need is not at center.

Last year, would have definitely wanted to trade to get him. What a difference an offseason makes.

I don't think any of them are irrelevant. But what I do find ridiculous is the notion that if you cheer for a team that sucks at the moment then you are deemed to know nothing.

that's 'sensnucksnocups' go to.

The trade makes zero sense for either team really. Leafs need to gain a top 6 winger without giving one up. Maybe some combination of prospects or D for Oshie might make sense from a leafs stand point.

I'm pretty sure which 3 I'd pick, and yup - there's no arguing the Blues ain't deep up the middle.

Nope. Only the ones that have proven they don't have a clue

And occasionally some good ones get lumped in.

I think he'll have a season like soderberg's in Boston.
- mykokes


I think he is+10-20% on Sodeberg but most of that is due to Tarasenko. My goal for him is 55 points and is where I would set the preseason over/under (this all changes if the PP and Tarasenko time changes).

He really is further ahead of where I expected him to be in adjusting to the smaller ice surface. I must say that I have been pleasantly surprised and impressed even though it is just preseason. Lindstrom is also a lot better than I expected though I would love 10-15g and 25-30 assists from him.

ok enough half working, half here, not doing it exactly right at either, lol.

FYI, Prosser and Mueller supposedly on waivers. Mueller was barely better than Cheechoo

Prosser gets exposed because Lindbohm's contract sends him overseas instead of the AHL. Bad luck for him as he was doing a good Mike Weaver impersonation.
