I'm so, so sorry. I had no idea

Edit: your previous avatar kind of makes me feel as though you deserve some pain for all the misery you spread.

Nylander's not going anywhere anytime soon, and JvR wont be either, until next year's trade deadline, if at all.

For either of those 2 players to be moved, Leafs would need to get back a #1 Dman, at the NHL level, and there's zero teams that would wanna trade someone like that.

What you may see is JvR for a package, including a good AHL defenceman, ready to jump to NHL levels.

Nylander's not going anywhere, being an RFA and part of the core of young guns.

Kapanen and Leipsic arent at the same level just yet, and both are injured.

Actually the Marlies suck hard this year and need an injection of new draft players.

Selling off their top young players is not something Toronto will be doing anytime soon.

I agree with you that Nylander is unlikely to be traded.

I also think there may be some opportunities this year because of expansion and the protection limits to pick up a d-man or two. Hopefully Marancin is not part of the plan - he is brutal. I don't expect a top pairing guy - maybe a 3-4 guy. If they could re-sign JVR to a contract for a few years, it would be ok. He is amongst the most productive left wingers in hockey and hard to replace.

On a different topic, can anyone explain why the (frank) Leaf games are covered, commentated on by those who hate the Leafs.

1) Jim Hughson a Canuck fan and Leaf Hater - why not Bob Cole who loves the Leafs?
2) Craig Simpson - when Leafs drafted Wendel Clark, Simpson supposidly told the Leafs not to draft him because he would not play for them. Why the (frank) is he on Leaf games?

3)Ferraro - another freakin Leaf hater

When Sportnet - owned by Rogers - also own the Leafs, why can't we have commentators that aren't rooting for the (frank)en opposition?

Gather round children and let me tell you of the promised land.

The base is big Mac sauce instead of tomato. Mozzarella cheese, ground beef before going in the oven with some sesame seeds in the crust. Cook crust to your liking as with any pizza. After it comes out of the oven add a few thinly sliced pickles, a bit of shredded lettuce and drizzle a bit more of the sauce on top. Eat, see the face of God and go the (frank) to sleep.

Yeah, if you're doing it from scratch you better get moving if you want it for tonight just because of marinading time. Or take your sweet ass time since you're already high as (frank), order a pizza, watch hockey and football and let that mother(frank)er sit in deliciousness all night.

Speaking of pizza, we did a Big Mac pizza at the hall last night and I wept tears of joy.

If you're doing it from scratch you better put it in the smoker overnight..

The play by play for TSN is the only good announcer. Ferraro is okay.

Everyone else sucks so bad. Simpson won't say one good thing about the Leafs.

Last night when Rielly blocked a shot Simpson just couldn't except the fact that he was okay it was like he wanted him to be injured...

from my viewpoint...its less to do with those guys (Hughson and Simpson) being Leaf haters, which they most certainly are.... rather its that they just aren't very good. If you look at just last nights game... they were actually boring - during a game that certainly wasn't. How many times did Hughson talk about faceoffs?

Much like Strombo... who wasn't very good at what he did... these doinks are poor at what they do... and HNIC should simply have better broadcasters. I don't care how many awards that they may won from Canadian media. Bob Cole old and error prone is still 10x the broadcaster than either of those other two.

I think some in the Toronto media get labeled as haters when all they are is honest... Ferraro calls it the way he sees it... doesn't mince words... he was pretty harsh on the Leafs a couple of years ago... but so was everyone else.
