They really only had one good season together.
Grabo had several seasons where he was very effective...if not one of our better overall players.

- Fakepartofme


yeah they had a BOOMING season the one year, they were top 5 line in the league if i recall correctly.

they didnt repeat the following season, which would have been ridic. if they did...kule was never going to score 30 again, 20 would have been a stretch if you ask me.

the grabo spin o rama's and the game he scored 2 on boston after taking 2 headshots...il never forget that game

Bolland for his previous contract was okay value.

Even with Grabo signed, Mac and Kule for a couple first rounders during a re-tooling? Yes please!

Hopefully...these larger contracts being put on waivers is telling me the CBA fixed nothing. Owners are still being stupid.
- Aaron_85

But at least they are having to figure a way out of their own mess. They are not being given do overs all the time.

Here you go Habby fans

"As it was getting down to the end there were three or four

- Garnie[teams] where I was kicking back and forth," Clarkson said at Air Canada Centre. "At the end of the day I think in my heart this is where I wanted to be."

so just the Oil and the Leafs



can't argue with you on this one. you want to defend Nonis for that deal, you're free to. and you can interpret that quote any way you want too. personally, the fact that he couldn't keep track if it was 3 or 4 is a bit suspicious.

And for some further perspective.

Lombardi sending Richards to Manchester doesn't save them any meaningful dollars. So Lombardi and the Kings currently value big talents like Nick Shore, Andy Andreoff, and Jordan Nolan more than Richards.

Process that Fido ...

Ok, you know better than Clarkson of course.


Now scamper off back to the Habby thread.

Leafs in both sell & buy mode. Willing to sell off pieces, but don't want a rebuild. Told goal is to swap out some pieces to "clean up room"

There it is, same sh1t different day.

Leafs haters rejoice. This organization will never learn, never change and never win a cup.

No defense - horrible decision. July 1st is the worst day of the year for most GM's - in hindsight.

Nonis tried to fix two stupid signings from Burke,

Liles and Grabovski.

They offered Grabovski to every team and no one wanted him, buyout was the only option.

Nonis then made his own two stupid signings, Phaneuf and Clarkson. It's a cycle of stupidity.

That's true. I just don't like owners female doging during a lockout about salaries and they are spending too much when we've got these huge contracts on waivers!

To be fair though, nobody would have really guessed Richards would slow down so drastically so quick.

I see your point. A $5.7m oft-injured dman who doesn't put up points is EXACTLY what we need...
