the team will improve this year, that's for sure
- Symba007

Hard to be worse than last place.

That's not saying much to be fair.

And that trading pick could still win a lottery. Can't forget that. It's not type 5 like it used to be.

I don't care how good any kid is, I don't want anyone on my team who demands a trade because he can't play the side he wants. Thats an attitude issue, and a coachability issue.

Hey kid, we are pretty deep on the right side, but we want you in the NHL. So its left side or minors. Oh? You choose trade? So go (frank) yourself then...

Seriously, what do these kids think they've accomplished that they can come into the NHL and call the shots like that?

Seriously, if he wants to play top 4 right side why doesn't he play his way up and earn it?

depends how the team does come december...Shanahan might get tempted if Trouba is still available
- Symba007

It'll be the start of the year or trade deadline if they still have a shot at the playoffs.
Why wait till they could be potentially out of it?

After the Leafs long history of throwing away picks like candy, I don't want them to trade a first round pick until they are true contenders.

Maybe he got caught screwing somebody's wife...

Exactly.

On another topic, Markov and Emelin looked lost out there tonight.

(frank) that. Playoffs or bust.

doubt the Leafs get a top 5 next year...8-12 is more likely.
- Symba007

Perfect spot to grab a young talented defenseman without having to give up the additional assets

If Trouba doesn't sign by December he has to sit out the season.

Should continue into the season. Price and Weber will pick up their slack

I don't know where he thinks he's going to be better off. Who is out there wanting to gift a top 4 spot to a kid willing to pull this? Bound to be someone, but odds are it won't be a better situation than he has in Winnipeg.

Yeah and putting his team in a weak position, because he wants to play his side. Lame.

Seriously though, the Jets could be a legit Stanley Cup contender soon if they get stable goaltending. Why would you request a trade away from that, regardless of your position on the depth chart? Play the (frank) out of your 10 minutes and contribute to the success. Or play 30 minutes on a middling team, and try to tell everyone it's not about the money.

That team doesn't seam to be on the same page any where.

They have a stoopid amount of depth. They could be elite if they all find that page you were talking about.
