Omg they traded a guy who gets 30-40 points a season? Where oh where will they ever find another one like that again?

Lets not forget that he was <30pts in the prior two seasons... After his wrist injury he seemed way off. I liked him and his shot but he wasn't doing anything after that injury. I don't think him being traded is going to be featured in any "biggest Leaf mistakes" articles.

right..but a team that was run so poorly at the time we couldnt afford to make small mistake after small mistake.. i dont get continually brushing it off as nothing.. it all added up to what we watched poop the bead every game

anyways...its all different now..

I want to see Mathews play with players who aren't garbage

hilarious everyone non-liberal is all pissy still because they lost the election

But he's big! When big players get 40 points it's worth like 100 small people points!

did you see that wimp damn near crying about how he savagely assaulted her?

That?!? That's it? I thought he Gordie Howe'd someone judging by the reaction.

I think it's great what he did (trying to move things along). We pay for these useless plugs to do their job yet it seems like they spend more time bickering than actually trying to do any work. Clearly this is just the wounded NDP and CONs (especially Mulcairr) trying to blow this up way out of proportion in order to feel like they are taking piece out of the PM.

The "coverage" calling this extraordinary, atrocious, etc is just shameful and embarrassing.

I had to see what happened with that trade

Colborne for a 2014th 4th ... the Leafs trade Gunnarson and that 4th for Polak
Leafs Trade Polak and Spaling for 2017 and 2018 2nd

So Lou has come in and made things better again
- senstroll

Hmmmm - at this point in the team's development, I think I'd rather have 2 upcoming 2nds than Colborne/Polak/Spaling/Gunnar, but it's not a slam dunk.

I'm not doubting that the team was in shambles, but again I repeat, this wasn't some franchise altering move either way.

What do you mean that's it?

He is clearly a savage animal completely and utterly out of control. I have only seen elbows of such ferocity in the WWE...

Its pretty crazy that was the breaking news of the night following the playoff hockey on CBC.

Based on what the Leafs "Currently" have to work with, I think the Defense Core for this upcoming season should look like this:

TOP 6
o Morgan Rielly - Left ('94)
o Jake Gardiner - Left ('90)
o Connor Carrick - Right ('94)
o Nikita Zaitsev - Right ('91)
o Matt Hunwick - Left ('94)
o Martin Marincin - Left ('93)

**7th D-Man**
Battle between the below 3 players...
o Scott Harrington - Left ('93)*would have to really impress during preseason**
o Stuart Percy - Left ('93) **I think the Leafs will look to trade him this Summer**
o Frank Corrado - Right ('93)**think the leafs will try to sneak him through waivers**
All potentially trade-able if they dont want to risk losing them via waivers.

Returning to AHL:
o Rinat Valiev - Left ('95)
o Viktor Loov - Left ('92)
Because the Leafs have the ability to be send both to the AHL....You use that option. Both Could be called up during the season--if playing well with the Marlies.
- Sandro

Matt Hunwick does not age well. Looks pretty old for a 22 year old.

The article is primarily about Valiev and Loov being subject to waivers.... sooo....

Looked like a savage beating to me. He TOUCHED someone! So dangerous! I hope he goes to prison for life.

If Trump did it all of you would be in an uproar...

are you implying Hunwick is 22 yrs old?

just took the biggest joe coldburns, had to double flush

did you see that wimp damn near crying about how he savagely assaulted her?

2 minutes for elbowing to the boob. Got to control your elbows on the floor of the HOC.

Lol not a chance. I agree that the outcry would be WAY worse than it is, but regardless, nothing malicious was done no matter who it was.

who is saying it was? i think its ok to admit it was dumb and made no sense
Colton Orr sucked and didnt help the team at all...actually hurt the team

but he punched people and made them feel all warm and fuzzy and we could post gifs about how tough we were

anyways I dont care...moving on
