That defense is poop.

sad but true.

Rielly >>> Gardiner >>>>>>>>> The whole rest of the D-Core.

I wonder who went over there and convinced him to come to the leafs.

Lou? Shannahan?

Matthews?

That would be Ryan Whitney’s message to professional hockey players in North America considering a stint in the KHL.

“In 2013, I knew my ankles were shot. My career in the NHL was done,” Whitney wrote in a thoroughly entertaining post in The Players’ Tribune Monday. “I had been fortunate enough to make a lot of money in the league (thanks for those backdoor tap-ins, Sid), and I could have retired. But I was only 30. Even though I couldn’t skate well enough to play at the NHL level anymore, I still loved the game and knew I could play in Europe.”

“For any NHL guys reading this right now, let me tell you something: You don’t know how good you have it. A normal practice in Sochi was harder than any day I ever had in an NHL training camp.

“In Russia, they skate. Then they skate some more. You’re dying. You’re about to fall over. Your coach is screaming. You look at your Russian teammate and ask, ‘What did coach say?’

And he says, ‘This warmup.’”

No its not..

They played well at the end of last year, for rookies.. Zaitsev will step in and be our 2/3 guy easy.. Mo and Gards are getting more responsible every season.

Ok

If the Leafs get Stamkos they're making the playoffs..

I think fans are underestimating how much firepower there is. And our defence isn't bad at all, especially now..

Hopefully Bernier gets traded or demoted and Lou finds a real goalie.

Fixed..

Shanahan called up his buddy Fedorov

Hopefully Bernier can step his game up.

I agree with Adam, our D needs some work.

im sorry

Since he's 24, he's required to sign at least a 1 year ELC. Chances are he signed on for only 1 year so he can shoot for a big raise for next season.

A good solid RH dman without having to give up assets. Good job by the Leafs brass.
- Coleman

Since he's 24 he could only sign a one year contract.

No happy medium around here.. Like a bunch of kids.

Gardiner is a top-5 defender in the league so I get where he's going with this

I don't like to talk about it
- Soshnikov

Ok

Was hoping the Zaitsev signing would mean a Gardiner trade.

Zeitsev

Then see what happens after the All Star break.

I dont see a big problem with the Leafs D as it stands
everybody thinks you need a big Stud D to have any success...6 competent NHL D will work

Zeitsev
