At the time I wanted Hanifin over Marner.


I'm happy as hell with Marner, but still think that Hanifin would give our prospect pool more balance. You guys have one hell of a player on your hands

don't worry lummer baby, big Lou is goona add us a top D man this off season when we open 20mil! <3

I thought 10 was Tit. but was something on my screen .

Bummer

Alright. Well that's her decision I suppose.
- BINGO!

With the crash in oil prices, I respect her decision - tough economy.

I'm a huge fan.

Him and Faulk as first pairing? It will be ridiculous. (unless they play the same side?)
- Scabeh

Nope. He plays left side, Faulk plays right.

Noah Hanifin - Justin Faulk
Jaccob Slavin - Ryan Murphy
Haydn Fleury - Brett Pesce

With Roland McKeown, Jake Bean and Trevor Carrick on the way up. (Maybe Keegan Lowe too if he gets his poop together)

Lucas. You still gonna be doing the fantasy hockey ratings like last season ?

The (frank)ing dream mate.

Could see it this year. Definitely the case next year.

Brent Burns?

I dunno who yet, I just predict that is their game plan with so much money opening up.

they have their goalie, they have their forwards (for the most part)

they need a guy to play with rielly, simple as that.

I was hoping Shattenkirk personally.

The weird thing about Marner is Toronto fans always over-rate their prospects.

No, seriously, it's embarrassing how much we over -rate our prospects. We declared Dubas the greatest hockey mind of all time, 20 minutes after the 2015 draft. Hunter is apparently playing chess while the rest of the NHL is still playing checkers.

But in a weird sorta way, I'm thinking that Leafs fans are actually under-rating Marner, or at least not giving him his full due.

The guy franking won everything last year. Yet we still rank him below Matthews and Nylander.

I'm not saying that he deserves to be ranked ahead of Mathews (I personally put him above Nylander) - I'm just saying it's very weird to not hear Leafs Nation homers say that this guy could be the next Gretzky.

I would have thought that a large majority of Leafs fans would be blowing blue smoke up his arse right now.

- BINGO!

that is a powerhouse pairing, must say..

I would agree on Hanafin. Liljegren might look good in a Leaf Jersey though.

I demand you have Bruiniak as a guest analyst this year.

I'll have you know I have him rated perfectly

That defense costs less than $10 million for the next 2 years.

haha...you guys still deal in gallons

I was salting some minnows for fishing (then freezing them) and I had to add a half cup of pickling salt per gallon of water..

I had no idea what a gallon of water looked like, just guessed...I bet those minnows are some salty female doges though.

Sweeet ! Always good info.

And congrats on becoming a regular Leafs blogger. Tough job . Similar to driving a short bus at times.

Please forgive my ignorance - is that good or bad?

I'm starting to lose faith in Murphy though.... expected him to break through last year.

will he be back from his "vacation" by then?
