I think he can be good, he just needs time and strength.

But are we going to pay him $20m to watch him become what we are already paying for?

We female dog about Franson wanting more money and then pay Gards #2 money and he's more like #4,5 and even 6 most nights.

leafs play hardball with franson every summer then throw gards a salary he hasn't earned, I don't get that either. Leafs better trade Franson this year, because if they don't, he's walking July 1 and who can blame him

leafs playing a real team for the first time in a week. srry but they played two AHL like teams in Buffalo and Coumbus

is this news? An insult? Or just trolling?

I agree, not the biggest Lupul fan either. I find him more of a me first type player.
- Garnie

If this team starts to play better without him, they should entertain the thought of dealing him, once he gets back. The Sens seem to do al-right without Spezza in their lineup, going with a more of a lunchbucket approach. Why can't we?

Ohhhh a stupid comment from a wanna be troll. Who's fav team on his account doesn't even exist anymore

It's hard not to be pessimistic about tonights game. Leafs rarely show up on a back to back and tonight they have to do it against the Hawks! So a usually stale ACC, a tired Leafs team against a rested hawks team makes for the ingredients for another Saturday night Stinker!

Hey Guys

I am looking to buy some tickets in Buffalo. Is anyone familiar with their rink. Would there be any seats that are either bigger or have more leg room than others.

Thanks

Those are the games that they surprise us sometimes. People think, oh, .500 for the weekend. We've got our 2 points.....so we'll probably lose.......then bang, a couple of lucky goals, a firedrill in the third and a point or two salvaged. I will not bet on this team, either way!

Big test, would be nice to put out a big effort regardless of the outcome.

5-4 Leafs

Lind traded to MIL for Estrada.

I think he's a Leafs fan, not 100% though. He's told me, I just keep forgetting

U should drop by more often and get to know people before you make stupid comments about who people are

Awesome. That's what the Jays need! Another 4th/5th starter.

I always liked Lind but Estrada is a decent pitcher...... Maybe we plan on moving some pitiching for an outfielder or 2b

I can almost guarantee that Toews and the rest of the Hawks have not forgotten the beat down Toronto laid on them last season. Hawks are going to come out strong in this one.

@BKennedyStar: #bluejays formalize Lind for Estrada deal. Also pick up options for Happ & Thole, decline options for McGowan, Morrow, Santos & Smoak.

@BKennedyStar: The #bluejays also announce they've extended a one-year qualifying offer of $15.3 million to Melky Cabrera, which he will surely decline.

So they pick up Smoak just to decline his option?

Yeah it doesn't make sense especially after trading Lind

Smoak is still eligle for arbitration and will remain with the team

Maybe they're going after Butler. KC declined him.

Ok. Still, Estrada gave up the most home-runs of any N.L. pitcher last season. He's going to get crushed in the Skydome.
