Depends if Reilly shows he can move up in the line up.
Phaneuf Reilly
Gards Robidas
Percy Polak

This assuming franson gets moved.

I'm not sure I want to move Frans just yet, 27 years old, 6 5 righty that uses the body and puts up points - not a lot of these around...

I hear you, but one thing that over the last bit of last year and this year that is really bad, is Gards is too big of a poon, he rarely hits a soul out there, I'm not sure a non-physical d man is what this club needs...
- aminnes


Didn't they just sign him to a 5 year deal?

I think if they waited until the deadline and get a team that is desperate for a PP right handed shot like Franson. They could get a hefty return for him.

Ya they did... He does do certain things well, but we have seen many d amen who don't hit, and not hitting especially for a d man is not good, hopefully they light a fire under him... I have no doubt he sat out in part because of this in both the first 2 games...

Brock Nelson has 6 points - John Tavares has 5 points.

So Burn says he is the better player..stats=facts?



The fact is Kessel scored 82 points..the stats don't mean he's better than somebody who scored 81.

THICK

Yeah that's what I said.

How do you get off calling someone thick while acting like this.

So here's a question, Robidas or Franny, cause thats the trade off... In other words, Robidas took the money that might have gone to frans...

Tell me, beyond a 90 year old Robidas, who in your D corps can actually play defense?

We could but someone would need to go eventually. Especially with the D prospects we have waiting.

robidas was brought into help with leadership and veteran presence, something Franson does not appear to have.

Let the team have a year to gel, not long ago you guys almost bounced the Bruins from the playoffs.

None of the Leafs d have done anything to warrant a whole lot of leadership, but I mean just a dollars and cents issue, will they have to move Franny because they decided to spend on Robidas. I like Robidas, but I mean the guy never won anything, not sure he's leading too many guys either...

I would rather have Willie Mitchell instead of Robiadas for that reason.
