pfft. American "football"? The NFL sucks.

Yup.


Congrats on the result today, that was (frank)ing ridiculous

Sometimes I dream of what once could have been if I could pick a pairing. For one, Sundin and Iginla. Both in their prime would have been a great combo...amazing combo. The other that I often dreamt of, maybe not the best on ice production, but the all time best interviews with media production. Burke and Tortorella. God damn that would have been a daily influx of golden anger.

I'll see your Burke and Torts, and raise you a Mike Keenan.

Same. But I just think consensus top-end D (Chych, Juolevi and Serg) will all be gone by around 12 because they are in high demand and very valuable.

I think Charlie McAvoy would be the guy to target in the 14-20 range.
- RonPielep

McAvoy was the guy this scout had 3rd among D I think?

Some scout from a team in the top 7 has Chychrun 4th among D. Juolevi was 1st, Sergachev 2nd and some big WHL guy I think was 3rd.

Yeah, the rankings are pretty wild. There's a good summary here:

http://www.mynhldraft.com...draft/nhl-draft-rankings/

I don't mind moving someone like Kapanen to upgrade. However I feel a need to get another young high quality D-man. So we would need to look for a team that needs a young quality and has a few quality D-men.
I think Carolina fits that mold.They are a rebuilding team as well. They have a number of quality young D-men already play on the team but are fairly weak on the right side wing.
So my proposal would be:

Toronto trades:
K Kapanen
R Valiev or Wash 2016 2nd rd pick


Carolina trades:
Haydn Fluery

Kapanen is crap. He has no trade value.

None.

So just Mike Keenan? Dumb. Just like you. Dork.

Is it wrong that although I am horrified by all the worker deaths, yadda yadda yadda, I am secretly thrilled with the idea of a World Cup throughout the Christmas season?

It's all about honouring the Baby Jesus.
- Atomic Wedgie

It can't be wrong
When it feels so right...

Kapanen is crap. He has no trade value.

None.

Add in a couple more pieces and we might be able to get a scoring winger for him...

Ha Ha Ha ha I purposely bid low just to get you to not fold.

Now for the flop I appoint Bobby Knight as an assistant coach!

Are you still in?

As long as it's someone who doesn't give a (frank). Someone like Jeff O'Neill.

At some point he will be a throw in in a deal.

Like I said... the leafs got nothing more than Pittsburgh's pick for Kessel. That wasn't anywhere near a good return. Lou would not have been fleeced that badly.

Yep, he's 19, first full year on American ice....total bust.

If you would have read the very first rule back in the last blog it stated: All coaches or gms must be from the same league.


Typical


On the serious side, is that guy still yelling at kids to shoot that ball better?

Lou would have gotten Lemaire in to show Kessel how to play a more complete game and you'd still have him.

You know it's true.

and quit eating garbage and pooing on people.

Yep, total bust. Worst hockey player I ever saw, even.

And that pick was conditional. And the Leafs had to eat salary. It was a horribly lopsided deal in Pitts favour at the time, and it still is. But they wanted to get rid of Kessel, and change the core of the team. Just wish they had gotten more for him.

No one can coach Phil Kessel. You try, he gets dead sucky , goes on a 10 game goalless streak and then looks suicidal. Needs a handjob from Tyler to spark him up

Go away for a while. Come back when you are more smiley.

Similar things were said about Kovy. Granted Kovy kept himself in better condition.

Most likely but he is NCAA, top WHL D is Jake Bean.
