It's definitely easier to see all the things when your head isn't firmly stuck up your arse...

Edmonton, more to see when you head isn't up your arse

It'll always smell like poop tho.

I'm not a Leaf hater...? I really like the moves they've been making.

I do find a lot of the fans aren't really tied to reality, though.

- BINGO!



the drugs are good for those people.

Hey, you are very welcome to hang here any time you want.

I said he was a better version of schenn..

I just dont think hes a 2d..

- Arctic_AARDVARK


As in not a 2D right now or never will be....and if it's never will be, why?
He has every attribute you want in a shut down dman (with some offensive upside).

The only real questionable part of his game, IMO, is when he jumps into offense at the wrong time. It happens but he has gotten way better since entering the league.
Trouba is 22yrs old w/ 211 games played in the NHL. Give him another couple years and he is going to be fantastic.

Not sure what you mean. You think Stamkos will take less overall money because he gets more upfront (cap hit is averaged out so that doesn't really matter). Maybe a bit but not the different between 9mill and 11mill....that's leaving $14mill on the table and highly doubtful, even if more paid up front, that he will leave that much on the table overall.

I think regardless, he will be a Leaf soon enough.

Slap the chap with a 10m signing bonus which then gets instantly converted to about 13m Canadian... Seen Stamkos....?

No room for him on the team now. We've outgrown him.

...Or not enough value back for Bozak's experience . I'm sure they'd find something.

Absolutely no different than any other fan base here.

Go to any team's thread and you'll see stupid poop that makes you shake your head.

If hes not as good as Tyler Myers then I don't think he'll be anything super special.

I agree Campbell is old, but would cost nothing but money to sign. He still played a solid game last year and could compliment Rielly.

I don't think Winnipeg is willing/eager to trade Trouba, in fact the last report is they are not even listening to offers. In my opinion him and Rielly would make a solid pair but it would cost us a lot.

- Blue_Bomber


I wouldn't mind Campbell either.
I also heard that about Peg and Trouba (not really being offered), I think if the right package came along, they would listen. I would be willing to move Kadri + late pick for him...gotta think the Peg would love to plug Kadri into their 2C slot.

Lou did say he like his goalie tall and athletic when he was talking about Andersen and then he turn to talk about Bernier, there was a brief pause and then he turned back to Andersen.

Yeah, but this is true for any fan base. Leafs fan base just sticks out more because of the sheer mass of fans.

And no 15-20% escrow. So he gets 100% of that.
