Based on a "like"?
Do we even know if the Leafs want stammer.
At the end of the day money talks.....once the lightning pony up the cash.....he'll sign
- Fakepartofme

this is the second time he has done this.

pretty positive stammer is comming here
- Cherry--Skoal

I feel like he is also. But if he doesnt, I really dont care.. its a strange but good feeling, as I dont think anymore its necessary for the leafs to go get someone else's elite talent to build a good team.

It would be interesting.

One thing that would make me hesitate would be fear of making a mistake. They *might* trade away the next "best player in the league". It would look horrible on an organization that already has a long and rich history of stupidity.

Maybe it is just better to stay the course(-i)
- Aetherial

I agree.

It's actually the first time since I started supporting the Leafs were I am 100% confident and comfortable in the management and I don't expect them to balls things up. They are going to remain patient and build through the draft no matter of any external pressure (in my opinion)

- senstroll

agreed again.

I actually think there is something to him wanting to come here, but I am not all that worked up about it.

I am more interested in who we can draft in 2016, and whether or not guys like Dermott and Rielly will become top-paring D, and whether or not we can trade Phaneuf this year or in the off-season.

he helps.

a lot

I agree

yeah, gotta agree.

The more I think about it the more I wonder what the offers were for Edmonton's first over-all's and whether or not they were motivated by fear of making a mistake?

When was the last time a high-end first overall pick was traded?
- Aetherial

not sure off hand..early 2000's? didnt Columbus or Florida swap

anyways.. next closest is 2010 #2 overall

Why?
- walshyleafsfan

why not?

Big guy, if we were trading Bernier there...I figured we could give Mr. Smith a fresh start here.

- senstroll

I hate to admit it, but so far this year Bozak seems like a pretty useful player. He could be a decent 3rd line center, fill-in for second line.

I still wouldn't be upset if they managed to trade him

if he could just learn to pass.

i cant tell you how infuriating it was when PAP shot the puck last night from like 60 feet and scored just to pad his damn corsi stats.
- senstroll

I don't think that was to pad the stat...but I'm sure players are aware of what Dubas/Teams are watching for...I think we'd be silly to think they are not aware.

tied for 90th in pts/gm

Have you started saving for all the bets you've made against him

the info is out here if you want to look it up.
- senstroll

I said "waiting for." I don't care enough to look it up.

Good thing Clarkson won't be on the team when we get Matthews.

Video evidence that they would not get along:

That, and the Rocky Horror Picture Show ....mmmm.

She never did anything for me.

But that's probably because I was respecting The Law's territory - he was interested, so I backed off.

Bro code.

Respect it.
- Atomic Wedgie

I've always respected you for that. Tim Robbins and I haven't spoken since 88' - what an bumhole.
