For me:

JVR KADRI KOMAROV
LUPUL MATTHEWS NYLANDER
SOSHNIKOV BOZAK MARNER
LEIVO LAICH MICHALEK

EXTRA/INJURY REPLACEMENTS:
GREENING FROESE HYMAN

For the record, I do think Bozak gets dealt at the draft.

- Phenom

JVR Stamkos Greening
Nylander Matthews Marner
Komarov Kadri Soshnikov
Laich Bozak Hyman
Brown

Pick and choose shifts for the Matthews line to give them success. Let them learn together. Swap Brown, Greening and Laich/Bozak however they see fit

Franking CRA.

Mr. and Mrs. Wedgie expecting a huge tax return this year. We file early.

CRA comes back and says we need to prove our kids actually did sports activities - so we can get $50 bucks back each from them.

OK, fine, no problem. Not quite sure why this would raise alarm bells with you - we've filed this tax credit every franking year you've had them. But fine, I fax them in.

And we wait. No answer from them.

Mrs. Wedgie phones them today - it's going to take an additional 8 weeks to process our return.

Keep in mind they've already processed it in full - all they needed was verification of a couple of child health credits - which amounts to $100 more on our return.

So why the frank would it take an additional 8 weeks when all they have to do is stamp "Approved" on our already-processed form?

According to the CRA, they do not use a system that ranks the priority or simplicity of tasks. Whenever anything happens, it goes to the back of the line.

You think I'm a sarcastic beeeyotch? You should meet Mrs. Wedgie when poop like this happens. I can't wait to hear how she is dealing with the supervisor that will eventually (or not) call her back.

Too soon !!

Tanner thinks that Marancin and Harrington are guaranteed NHL regular defencemen.

Seriously, does he even watch hockey?

- Atomic Wedgie

Apparently Marincin is as about as effective as Manson. I thought finally, enough of the craziness. Turned out it wasn't a negative

Please gawd, not another year of kadri as our number one center and komarov on our top line.

For what it's worth (nothing) I think Marincin is awful.
- markmark


he may not in the end be in the plans for the leafs, next season its basically Rielly/Gardiner... then a competition for the next 4 spots..assuming the leafs do not add anyone, which I assume they will

Gardiner
Rielly

Hunwick
Marincin
Corrado
Zeitsev
Percy
Harrington
Loov
Carrick

So your analysis basically has nothing to actually do with watching them play.

- senstroll

I'm a Leafs season seat holder. I'ved watched them play more than you can imagine. More than I'd like to remember.


I believe Edmonton is very bad at player evaluation beyond a top pick.
He was picked up for 4th, the results after Hunwick was injured were positive.. can he fill a 5 or 6 role...I think so at this point.

- senstroll

The fact that Edmonton is very bad at player evaluation beyond the first round kinda supports my argument, no? They drafted Marincin #46 overall.


Harrington, not enough time for anyone to say, being included in a trade for Kessel tells us nothing.

I am glad you can draw conclusions from these things though.

- senstroll

He's 23 years old, and so far he's played 25 NHL games where he has collected a single assist.

Is it really unfair of me to start asking questions about whether or not he is going to have a cup of coffee in the NHL?

More importantly, is it really unfair of me to question a blogger who emphatically states that Harrington is a bona fide NHL player right now?

C'mon, Sensie. I'm as happy as the next guy we won the lottery.

But our defence and goaltending are still horribly weak. I'm just telling it like it is.

Zeitsev

For me the order is:

Rielly
Hunwick
Gardiner
Carrick
Corrado
Percy
Marincin

The rest I don't feel I have seen enough of but I'd guess some if not most are better.
BINGO!

He should be with the top 2 and not with that group.

You could just say yeah, you don't have to be a douchenozzle, y'know

It surprises me that Poopyjartits didn't make the team, and I wasn't sure if you were trolling.

It's 3:25pm and today's been a female genitalia. Don't you be one too.

I think Rielly will be with Hunwick again (unfortunately) because Babcock loves that pair

Gardiner with Zaitsev I guess

The bottom pair can be anyone, because as long as Hunwick is top pairing, we're franked

As I said yesterday, I believe that Zaitsev will be paired with Rielly, and I say that while fully admitting that I know absolutely jack-poop about Zaitsev.

Hunwick was OK last year, considering what he was asked to do.

But we should never, ever ask him to do it again, unless we are going for Tank II.

I am just not on the everyone is trash wagon, It just seems like a common theme with leaf fans.. Rielly can do no wrong...(when he has plenty of defensive issues himself) .. and any mistake another player makes defines him as a player from that point on.

i dont agree the D is horribly weak.
