Leafs passed on Forsberg for Rielly....right move?

Yes. A great top pairing d-man is much harder to come across than a scoring winger, which the Leafs aren't really lacking compared to potential top dmen

What he said...

That point shot only results in about 3 goals a year.

Who cares if it goes in off someone else..........

someone will record it and upload it elsewhere if it happens

why watch something as boring as the superbowl when you dont have to

But it's the biggest, best game of the year! Everybody should watch it.

Even worse "I watch it for the adds"... Yikes. We are doomed...

Either the Patriots or the Seahawks.

I'm just hoping for injuries.

A lot of them.

5 teams after the Leafs passed on Forsberg as well. There must have been a reason.

Same with Shinkaruk.

I read a good line the other day, "The Superbowl. Watching it for the commercials you'd change the channel on 364 days of the year" Or at least along those lines. It's the most jammed down your throat event. Gotta watch this. Gotta watch that. (frank) off.

It's very stupid. most people PVR, or stream stuff online. I gotta watch he ads!... Super Lame...

Nash doesn't trade Forsberg...

Wow, yeah I knew he was doing well this year but 44 pts in 49 GPs, +25.

I'm thinking the most potential logically is Jones, only because they have the next number of years to find another stud d, and have a chance to go for it the next few years, Kessel could be the sniper that puts them over the top...

In a few years he will be called difficult to coach, fat and lazy.

Jones, 2015 1st and Stalberg or Jokinen for cap reasons.

Olli would be our #1 C


And the Jokinen/Turkey Girl gifs on here would be great

And all six teams are regretting it, eh?

I would say for Nashville to bite - becsue of the length of phials deal, it's likely a second on the back of that deal...

I'll take a top pairing d man over a scoring winger. Although it's way too early to tell if any team made a mistake on forsberg

I would be all for this a reilly/jones pairing would be amazing to watch

Agreed. Rielly is worth drafting where he was drafted. Forsberg could be a real steal though. He's playing with Ribiero and Fisher. Not exactly Crosby, Toews, or Datsyuk.

Maybe, but Kessel's contract is entirely on par with his age and production.

The real team who should be shaking their heads is the team who drafted him...the Caps

I don't see us needing to take cap back on that deal. Not unless it was a good young roster player < 25.
