Dion will go to one of Anaheim, LA, Calgary, or my personal guess San Jose.
I don't mind which team he goes to, as long as he is gone before trade deadline.
- MaximusAurelius

I think Florida or california

Burke was a way better GM than Nonis. I personally like Burke and his personality.
As for trades/signings etc. I actually think that Burke delegated too much to his team (Nonis) instead of making some blunt decisions himself.
My guess is that Burke wanted Luongo, and that internally not all agreed with this.

What I don't understand of Burke though is his love-affair with Phaneuf - worst decision made in the last 5y to make Phaneuf captain of this team. (well maybe 2nd worst decision; worst decision was to resign him instead of trading him)
- MaximusAurelius

being better than Nonis doesn't say much.
Burke was a bad GM because his goal was to build a playoff team, not a championship team.

I wouldn't be surprised if the leafs go for one of the top d-men (Kylington/Werenski)

we have only gone for a d-man with our 1st pick once in the past 6 drafts, and he is probably the most untouchable player on the roster.
- GardinerExpress

HELL NO...Werenski? no no

yeah at Scott wheeler...whoever that is..the person who tweeted the info

sometimes you are over the top on these things
- senstroll

i've made my stance and i am not changing it

Teams behind them have 3/2 games in hand!
- markmark

They may actually have a shot at finishing 4th.

Then trade Dion to Edmonton for their 3rd. (The beauty in this is you just get rid of Dion but disguise it as moving up) and we draft Strome.

Edmonton get Dion and Hanifin.

HELL NO...Werenski? no no
- PinkSock

yeah we couldn't use a guy with size that is putting up a ppg as a rookie in the NCAA!

I think at worst they get Werenski or Kylington. Unless they feel Barzal is worth the risk.

I thought KC has some color to him for years and years, then last year I watched a music video and was (frank)ing MIND BLOWN..funniest thing ever
- PinkSock

If it wasnt for TV I would thought Eminem was...well...you know

HELL NO...Werenski? no no
- PinkSock

Werenski may be better than Hanifin when all is said and done, he's one of the younger players in the draft.

We have to get a centre though. Please. Surely? All I want is a really good centre.

Plus we have Percy, Finn, Loov, Granberg, Nilsson, Valiev etc. Making up some part of the D core

yeah.. names can trip people up.. my last name for instance is Locke (sounded out as lock) and you wouldnt believe how many people have called me Lockee lol

i know i know.. its not an old last name at all lol
- Dozzer

Like Thor's half brother?

Recent years, and drafts, have soured me on the NCAA.

The Hemingway Equestrian Centre is a beautiful 100 acre equestrian facility, boasting a large indoor arena, 27 stall barn, outdoor sand ring, indoor wash stall (with hot water) numerous turnout paddocks, and our own hay fields. There is ample room for trail riding, either around the 100 acres, or down the quiet rural roads that surround us. We are a family run facility with over 30 years’ experience owning and raising horses. All disciplines are welcome!

We are centrally located off of lyon's creek road in Niagara Falls, close to the QEW, and Fort Erie Racetrack.

We are offering self board at $200/month/Stall. This price includes a rubber matted stall, unlimited water, full use of the facilities, shared paddock or pasture, shared barn space for tack and supplies and a boarder's discount (better than market price) on our home grown quality hay. The boarder is responsible to feed, turnout out/in, muck their stall, and for any other needs their equine has.

Please contact Chris at 905-984-7795 to book a tour, or if you have any questions.



Want me to try and rent that for you guys so you can throw dukes?


its only 3 horse stalls but has shared barn space and I think we can make it work, plus it includes rubber matted stalls, quality home grown hay and unlimited water





you 2 free this weekend?

I agree, it should most definitely be a C.

if this happened I would hope the leafs would draft hanifin. they say this kid is good enough to be a number 1 pick, but mcdavid/eichel are born in the same year

Like Thor's half brother?
- zazzle

Adopted brother.*

if this happened I would hope the leafs would draft hanifin. they say this kid is good enough to be a number 1 pick, but mcdavid/eichel are born in the same year

Strome would be the guy I take at third, If im the Leafs.

none of those guys project to be a top pairing guy. so in a few years we will have rielly and....nobody to play with him. the leafs have pretty much invested in Nylander, Kadri and Gauthier to be the top 3 centers of the future. If we can grab Marner or Strome i'd be happy, but id rather they grab a kylington over a big center like zacha

Strome would be the guy I take at third, If im the Leafs.
- systemtool

They have to come out of the draft with a centre on their first pick and most of their picks thereafter, best one available, period.

nobody like taking a d-man high. call it the erik johnson effect. I just look at our roster and we have Rielly as a top 4 lock, phaneuf, franson, and gardiner in the rumors. Robidas and polak are bottom pairing guys, and only finn and percy could turn into top 4 guys.
