Komarov is risky but since the Leafs will have to expose both Marchenko and Marincin I don't see Vegas taking Martin over them. They're younger and have far more potential to be a useful piece, plus they are RFAs still.

I think you have to play the percentages and protect Kads, Bozie, JVR, Brown, Leivo, Komarov and whoever you like better between Leips and Rychel.

If the choice is too tough, you gotta make a pre expansion draft trade.

Good to finally see Marchenko drawing in to see what he can do, and think his more stay at home will be a good insulation for Gardiner too. Cannot do any worse than putting Marincin out there.

Going to need to get to Lundqvist early and hope Freddy has a strong game between the pipes.

Honestly, I hope they expose Bozak. He'll almost certainly be claimed. It would delete his cap hit and open up a slot for Nylander if Babschlong is serious about playing him at centre.

Honestly would not mind that and move JVR for a defenceman in the offseason. We got enough forward depth I think we could use him that way to fix the back end some.

It will be very interesting to see what the management is going to do, they have options, and have built up some decent depth in order to be able to make a move or two. I don't expect anything huge till the offseason but you just never know with Lou.

I thought The Goat had a real good last game except a draw or two in our end.

i go back and forth with bozak on this.


he should get a return similar to eller ... 2 2nds. i think i prefer to 2nd's over a guy like leivo.

Could probably trade him and expose a couple weaker players couldn't we?

Rychel has way more potential than leivo and leipsic
- MaximusAurelius



Leivo's looked great and the stats back it.


I'd keep him in the rest of the year

(frank) being admirable..

The fattest (frank) in the league ran Andersen last game and no one seems to remember. You gotta be bold and "break the rules" a little bit to be successful.. ie the republicans.

Another must win!

I expect somewhat of a boring game. It's getting to that time of year where it's just too important to win and players will be on short leashes.

I wonder if Rielly will continue his eagerness to skate the puck up the ice, or if Babs doesn't want that.

I say Kadri or someone should run Lundqvist immediately to get him off his game. Take two minutes who cares.

Marchenko better not look like (frank)ing Marincin out there.

- Arctic_AARDVARK




Can't be Kadri. (frank)ing guy nowadays has to look at somebody the wrong way and the League will call for his head.

He should still be suspended for being mean to Mcdavid that time.

Some of you guys know a lot more than I do and more than Babs does. So why the Leafs not ride out McGoalie? What's it gonna hurt? He legit seems to play well when he's in. If Mr. Andersen is really the chosen one, wouldn't it help him out to push him to finally believe in himself so he can stop all those shots after he finally realizes he's the 1 A?
