Getting something for JVR now is better asset management than risking trading him for less next season or losing him to FA, or even signing him to a fair contract.

Comparables point to JVR making between 6 - 7.25 mil on the open market. Those aren't unfair numbers, but I'm not sure I would want this team investing that much cap space in him. I think if you can get a quality top four defenceman on a reasonable contract you should pull the trigger.

I expect a draft day trade for JVR. Actually I expect the Leafs to be doing a lot of shuffling on draft day in general.

I just noticed a pretty big problem. We need the leave players with a minimum number of games played exposed. We're covered on D, but we don't have any forwards that we wouldn't want protect available, we need 2. The closest I can see is if both Smith an Froes but each need 12 more games.

They could just trade for the 1 forward they are missing. They could expose Martin, as he shouldn't be claimed with guys like Silverberg being available.

Garth is calling O'Reilly the moral compass of the Buffalo Sabres.

I guess in relative terms, drink-driving a car through a Tim Horton's storefront isn't as bad as choking and attempting to abduct random girls in a night club

ROR doesnt seem too bad, sure he made a mistake...most of us have. Id be in jail if I had his money at his age.

You'd hire a hard-bodied driver.

Quick question: expansion draft is before amateur draft - correct?

Only one of Montour and Theodore would go in any deal, as neither are expansion draft eligible, and it doesn't quite solve their problem. The Bieksa part is interesting though and does help Anaheims situation----but I really don't want him.

Wtf.

I'd give myself 3 years if I had a million dollars.

If I had more than a million, I'd hire a private doctor and tell him all the stuff I was planning on doing to myself so that he can come up with an action plan to keep me at maximum health

What kind of action plan will a doc come with when it's 24/7 hookers and blow?

Nonis is a special assignment scout for the Anaheim Ducks of the National Hockey League and serves as a consultant to the team's general manager, Bob Murray.....I take this to mean that any stupid moves need to be signed off on by Murray
