On the extremely off chance(don't think there is a chance in hell we do it) draft Laine does Spatso come on here and saying it was a terible pick and that Mathews is better than Laine and that pick just set us back years in the rebuild ?

Weber
Josi
Ekholm
Ellis

Any of these guys available from Nashville, or will Nashville protect 8 players (4D-4FW) during expansion draft next year?

Big disadvantage to teams trying to protect 4 dmen. I'd guess that Minny, Anaheim and Nashville all try to move a dman.

home opener oct 15 vs bos

I can't seem to find this anywhere - is it in Boston or Toronto?

If it's in Boston, I'll be at Matthews' first game

Hopefully the Spatso problem is in the process of being taken care of...

FML.

The night before the Toronto marathon.

I haven't missed a home opener in about 20 years.

TML just FML.

I remember back in 96, ol' Lums was in grade 9 and it was the England vs Netherlands game at Euro 1996... and we were to be stuck in religion class.

So being the smart kids we were, we all conspired to have some small FM receivers with headphones going up our sleeves (it was a hot day so long sleeves was unbearable!) and then we could simply lean on our arms in class (normal, right?) but really be listening to the game while hiding the wire.

Great plan. Flawless plan. Worked like a charm.

Right until some dumb bastard got up and started cheering when they scored...

The ticket prices will be insane for Matthews' first game!

If the first game is in Ottawa, the game on the 15th isn't really the home opener for the Leafs, is it?

Is that you Spatso?

Ken Holland is a mess being interviewed.

Game worn jersey being offered for the modest price $9500 US on Ebay

Wouldn't that 30th pick be enough to acquire a young prospect goalie that's a little closer and a little easier to project like a Subban?

If so, that's the route I'd prefer.
- The Law

If he is available? Sure. I would also include Gibson and Vasilevsky in the convo, however they may hold more value.

please let him rest and do not invoke his name for 48 hrs please.

well played, sir!

Goalie is the one position where I wouldn't kill myself if the Leafs got an older guy instead of sticking with the youth movement.
- Atomic Wedgie

If we are giving away assets, I would hope the goalie would at least be under 30.

Toronto doesn't get Stamkos... What do we take from Detroit for Datsyuk contract

Yes, Spatso - it has been noted that you have (several times now) stated that you think the Stamkos contract needs to be insured.

What you have not done (and I've been pointing this out through several posts now) is presented any logical argument as to why this is the case. None whatsoever. In fact, your muddled "logic" has been shown to be flawed. Hopelessly flawed.

And to add to your misery, the doctors quoted in the media reports on this injury all seem to think that the type of clotting Stamkos was experienced would not be a recurring thing, so although I am neither a doctor or an actuary, it would suggest there is a greater chance than not that insurance won't be an issue.

And even if it is, there is actually a potential financial upside: not insuring a contract means not having to pay for insurance.

As for your non sequitur about paying too much for Kessel - wow, you really saw something there that nobody else saw. Philosophy question: what's the sound of two hands not clapping?
