Leafs will be happy that Marner has worked on being a winger, as you noted they are looking solid down the middle, for once.

he is strong for sure - but you can never be too strong for the NHL and their 6 ft 6 beasts like big Buf.

ya ... its not the 6'6" that matters so much, reach yes... its the 260lbs of bone crunching mass

it only took one awkward hit to take McJesus out for what 40 games.

brown or rainbow?
- Lucas.Neilson

neither - old and wrotten.

I would buy front row tickets to someone asking Craig Button to explain his "Marner doesn't get it done when it counts like Tkachuk does" criticism from a few weeks ago.

I will never let him off the hook for that

I called him out on it point blank on Twitter after Marner's 5 point mem cup game. He avoided specifics and basically said "Three elite players on the same line. Each brings their own game that compliments and elevates the rest"

I don't think he'll ever elaborate on it

the very fact that Button continues to offer up his expertise and opinions on the draft blows me away.

I find myself throwing him into the "Rosie Dimanno" category... you know another article or speech about absolutely nothing with absolutely no meaningful credentials behind it.

sad really.

Why would the sens want eric staal when they already have kyle turris

Should we trade for mark fayne? Could unload some minor contracts

When did he say that??? Why would he say that?

He also has Logan Brown going to Van at #5

I like hearing him on ten 1040 here, but that's a weird thing to say.

- TheMussel

seriously - how could they afford Staal given they just took on PHaneuf at 7x5...

I would think Staal will be looking for 6M at least.

and sooner or later they are going to have to pay Pageau and Turris the 1st line money they deserve.

maybe Sens add Luke Schenn to pair with Dion

Then they'd have the LASER and the HUMAN ERASER!

- Santo_44

possibly, but I'm hoping they are able to get someone better.

I'd even toss in a pick or roster player to make it happen. IE bozak, Holland, etc

Tkuchuk stepping up in big games, wish marner would elivate his game in important games like that.

iF the Marlies can survive these next two games, their next game would be Tuesday. Does marner finish up with memorial cup and come up to the Marlies?

Round one of the ohl playoffs, same time as the infamous "Thursday in Owen sound".

Guy just scored a playoff hat trick and lead his team, but button questions him because of the competition he's against and then raves about tkuchuk raising his level of play.


(frank)ing idiot.

I'm calling Bozak to Philly (if the Leafs sign Stamkos).....

along with Bernier and Kapanen

for Mason, Umberger, Simon Morin and another prospect D man.

yup - crazy I know. but do the math.



we never enough crazy trade proposals around here.

would love if they could get Sanheim (who may be behind last years first rounder in Provorov).

Excellent article. I look forward to your Wednesday articles.

Marner has been amazing at the Memorial Cup and playoffs. Watching him on the ice I have struck that he reminds me of Ryan Nugent-Hopkins in appearance and playing style. I hope he doesn't take after RNH especially his injuries. Hopefully, Marner will be more like Kane on the ice.

Definitely a lot of roster moves needed to add the young guns and free agents. I don't believe Stamkos is coming to the Leafs but it won't be the first or last time I am wrong. If Stamkos plays on Thursday, he is returning to the Lightning.
