Pizza Pizza is the driest pizza ever created. It's the worst chain pizza you can buy, at least in Toronto.

Little Caesers. It's cardboard. But what do you expect for $5

THE WORST chain. The sauce is (frank)ing so salty.

Even the starred toppings count towards that. Might want to include 1 token vegetable just so there's a chance you might be able to poop within a week of eating it.
- daeth



No poop? That's good to know.


not the not poopting, but the starred toppings.

I normally just get their pan pizza since it's the best chain pizza you can buy but I did that 10 topping thing recently. The (frank)er weighed like 20 pounds.

Hunter would have scouted these guys while with London when scouting for the midget draft.

Facking Chicago had as many picks as we did today. Asset management: turn their non-core guys into picks every year, don't rush them, and bring them up for cheap filler; rinse/repeat.

having guys ready a bit sooner than later could be the strategy here

the leafs have a lot of young prospects that could turn into players on lucrative deals in a few years

instead of allowing themselves to get into a cap crunch situation they stockpile good young talent that could be developed into depth roles on cheap contracts.

i think this draft was about future cap management

i have nothing to back this up with... just a thought

- Dozzer


I posted the same kinda thought earlier. I do think they had a strategy and this makes sense to me.

Who cares about them? Soon people will be looking at the Leafs the way us Leaf fans look at Chicago and LA. Soon it will be glorious

Yep..He's still faced with drafting unproven talent no matter what level..
- Fruitcakenipple


The answer might be a lot easier for AW if someone would look up how many players Hunter has drafted to the OHL that have gone on to make it to the NHL.

Just sayin'.

Found this from last year:

"The skill, we need more skill on our team. You get a big, strong guy and it’s hard to develop their skill. The guys that do have skill, you can develop them physically and get them stronger. That’s how I look at it. I think Detroit has been doing that for years. You can get them stronger but you can’t put hockey sense in a player.

The rules have changed and the skilled players have a better chance to get things done on the ice.

– Mark Hunter"

Do these big guys have skill or has Mark done a complete 180 here? Lou influence? Addressing need?

My fav chain pizza is a stuffed crust from Pizza Hut. But you have to go and pick it up. The ghetto joint that online orders go to always takes an hour+ and once it shows up it's this (frank)ing dry ass cardboard poop.

My Pizza Hut doesn't realize that pizza is supposed to come with cheese.

They weren't supposed to play in the NHL last year. But they did quite well with their respective Junior clubs (Marner, Timoshov, Dermott, etc.), so for that, he has to get some kudos no?
- gravyface

I don't give him credit for Marner. After that, it's a giant question mark.

Take a look at this:

2006 was the last draft that wasn't a franking embarrassment.

No wonder this team has sucked for a decade.

Some of the leaf fans need to geta reality check here... There is a plan in place! We took still last year and we took size with skating ability this year. Not a single one of you knows more then Hunter and Co. I trust in their choices because in the last 2 years they have made me believe that this is going to get better!

Stop bashing everything and just sit back and enjoy this work of magic people.

I for one also liked the trade today too! Harrington was potentially going to get claimed of waivers anyways.

- Canadianleaf


I trust what this management does. 3 years ago they drafted college players that will take min 4 years to make the nhl. The last draft they drafted skill and projects and this year they drafted some players they feel are close to getting ready. They have a plan with drafting while many other teams dont seem to...

At least they compensate by adding extra sauce nobody asks for

Guess all these insider guys going on about Hunter are wrong. I drank the kool aid on him too. Maybe they should get Fletcher back and let him run things his way

True but domino's crust is like bisquix...I mean they're both bad. Whichever one is offering six pounds of cheese and poopty pizza for less money is probably the best option at any given time.
