Trade for a top four defenseman trade for a top six goal scoring winger sign a speedy bottom six energy guy and quality back up goalie on a 1 or 2 year deal

Reinhart should have made N/A roster. Better than RNH, Coutier and Miller

Leafs need a 6ft 6 winger who can fight and play the point, a goalie with a good glove hand, a defenseman who is ambidextrous and a zamboni driver who can play free bird on guitar. Rebuild complete

Funny thing is Murray has all ready stated he plans to get a top four LHD defenceman and there are a lot of names available and very plausible he can trade for a top six winger on a cap strapped team

Carter is great and has a rapport with a lot of the players on team Canada

I think RoR deserved it especially after the tournament he just put in. He lost to a guy that broke 60 points while playing 2nd line with Dwight King and an aging Dustin Brown...could be worse. I agree that Samson being left off is a joke.

Who would Reinhart be there instead of though? Maybe Larkin or JT Miller? That's pretty much it.

Miller and Couturier for me. Larkin vs Reinhart is close and can be debated. However, both Miller and Couturier should be beneath Samson no matter the position (C/W).

Probably the guy who said Eichel would be the fourth or fifth best forward in 2015

There is also the guy that said comparing Marner to p.Kane would be a disservice.
To Marner. And Gerbe agreed.

Renne also said something interesting about Datsyuk if he says he's not playing next year for the Red Wings the Red Wings can suspend him and not count his 7.5 against the cap

Lots of gms talk. Benning thinks he just got a top 4 defenseman. Draft and develop thats how you find a top six winger and top 4 d.

Buffalo has a great future but to state they are a few years ahead of Toronto is flat out wrong, and this will be proven on the ice next season.

JVR is easily the best winger on either team. Mathews and Eichel are likely equal. Ror is better than both Kadri and Bozak for sure. Nylander and or Marner will eclipse reinhart. My guess is Marner.

girgy = Rielly.

They are pretty equal minus we don't have Bogo but we have so many greet prospects up front.

I would wager up to 100 straight up leafs finish ahead of buffalo next season despite an absurd amount of rookies... And Bernier.

Tyler Ennis career ppg .605
JVR career ppg .621

So the best winger on either team produces a C-hair above Ennis, but yeah... Toronto's superior. And, there is no proof how good Marner is going to be at the NHL level, yeah he's dominating right now but against kids younger than him.

He is a solid 2nd pairing guy. Benning just gave up wayyyyyyyyyyy too much for him

the quote was two years ahead, mainly attributed to two things:

1) the Sabres started this process in 2012 and went all scorched earth rebuild in 2014, which is two years before Toronto decided to rebuild

2) tim murray uses a boatload of picks and prospects to trade for young-vets, those in their mid-20's with loads of nhl experience...those named were evander kane and Zach Bogosian, ryan o'rreilly and goalie robin Lehner

although Toronto will be placing Matthews atop jvr and a stable of quality youngins, the leafs support group can't match what buffalo has right now...

and...

you failed to mention rasmus Ristolainen the sabres no. 1 defenseman, a player the leafs don't have yet either...

that said, I firmly stick to my "two years ahead of Toronto" quote
