he's not the main character(s). He'll be a supporting guy. I believe it's colin farrell

Yeah but with Rachel McAdams as well? What is this a detective mystery meets wedding crashers?

I would do Reinhart for Yak......why not. something tells me we will never see Griff in an Islanders uniform. If not to Edm, then certainly somewhere else

Yak isn't getting moved...he's starting to show signs of life the past few weeks.

I'd rather keep Polak
- jimi james


2nd or 3rd for Polak? He's been one of the hardest working players on that team...something that needs to rub off on others. Keep him.

There were rumors saying that but they seem to have quieted down. Maybe Griff has learned to shut up and play. Probably realized how good the team is and for how long they will be that way.

You don't say???
- Iggysbff




Crosby and Toews are arguably the top 2 players in the league. At this point Yakupov is looking like a bust. Yakupov looked good in junior but he can't transmanipilate that success into the big leagues. Is he playing on the top line with Hall and Perron? Maybe that might help spark him. I just don't see him being anything better than a 5-10 goal per year guy.

Depends. I'm rebuilding for a long time. He's useless in that sense; see Ference on the oil.

If you want to retool; sure.

in what way? he's a healthy scratch on the leafs who's 39 years old.
- clark_griswold

I'm not a Robidas fan. Remember that. But you have to stop trying to change the facts to have the argument in your favour. You do it all the time. Robidas is 37 not 39 and is injured not a healthy scratch.

Trading a #1 overall for a #4 overall straight up....I'd take that chance. I believe the organization thinks Pulock is ahead of Reinhart at this point. Also Robbie Russo is killin it at Notre Dame.....just sayin

Mackinnon is pretty good even though he's in a sophomore slump but that's normal. Mackinnon is everything the oilers were hoping Yakupov would be. But I don't think mackinnon is being shopped unless he is, is he?

I would only think about trading Reinhart after Boychuk is signed

In any rebuild you need players like him to teach the young guys. I agree with you 100 percent.
