Good.....start with the people who keep doing it.... Seems like a one sided deal in regards to this, in here.

There's a couple racists.. But you're right most favour one side.

Russel turning down a deal with your team = dodging a bullet.
- cranktheradio


Russell is a 5-6 dman imo. Some team will do ok if they can sign him 1-2 years for ~2.5M. maybe nj.

No one wants him here, what are you taking about.

Hello Burn,

Just saying that "IF" he signs there... which there still is a chance, then all those who currently hate him will do backbends to suddenly support the move.

But hey --- thats fandom today.

But I cannot get over the dislike for this guy. Is it just the price? He is a pretty good player and all-star shot blocker --- if not the best shot blocker in the league.

Hey, is Matthews still holding out on his ELC because Lou is trying to low ball him, which will in turn create a rift between management and star player causing Matthews to demand a trade or re-enter the draft after playing in Switzerland for more money than the Leafs will give him?

Anyone know?

No? His do you figure, they just said they don't want.

Who cares if he's a good shot blocker? He can't move the puck for poop, he can't get the puck out.

Yes. It's ugly. Lots of hard feeling. Flying to Russia to get first hand look at some of the khl has to offer..... May just be a ploy to get Lou to cave.

Your daily oxymoron..

And Vancouvar fans are the epitome of flip-flopping on players. Shinkaruk and McCann became instant busts the second they were traded and Gudbrannson was suddenly a 2D

And what stat supports that! He is a fine puck mover! As good as anything the Leafs currently have. No, I strongly disagree... he may not be the perfect D-man.... I think he is slow to get back into lanes but that may just be beacuse he causes so much chaos blocking shots in the first place.

Can you imagine how many wins 274 less shots --- not to mention rebounds and melees --- is worth at the end of the season?

I'm sure the team in China would be real tempting. I hope he doesn't bolt for that, I was looking forward to seeing him play.

I have them on my screen right now... I am sorry, but you need to be more specific cause I do not see anything egregious or anything worse that the current Leaf roster.

Just waiting for the Russell signing and watch everyone in here doing back flips like they are Donald Trump trying to re-explain what he said 24 hours earlier as everyone's opinion suddenly changes.
- Beatle_john


you are gonna be waiting a while. I can't wait until he doesnt sign then you just look completely foolish, again.

stick to the nucks threads unless you ever decide to say anything worthwhile in here

Jim Benning isnt our gm, so we won't be taking a guy who only blocks so many shots because the opponent gets nearly 60% of the shots while he is on the ice.
we will let the nucks roll with the gudbranssons and sbisas.

Here it is: What are you talking about?

https://www.nhl.com/player/kris-russell-8471729

Again, I am sure he is not the stud his local media markets make him out to be and he will not be an all-star and his size is a little small for what I would like to see in a D-man.... but he would be a fine addition to any team.

I am sure the Canucks took a flyer on him but the cost was too much, besides they already got Erik Gudbranson earlier.

No, he's a hate-mongering religious zealot who is basically as bad as the WBC, or those "radical islamists" that Trump keeps mentioning, but because he hates in the name of our god people accept his hateful rhetoric....
