Thanks!
I think he was the top choice for most of us
Doesn't hurt that he's a hall of famer who started his career with us

I keep hearing on the radio how the Leafs got the steal of the draft. Ever since winning the Babcock sweeps it seems like nothing can go wrong for the Leafs.

Well, they filled a position of need with an exciting player, and they bought friggin ridiculously low...it is a terrific value pick.
Meantime we have 824 Centers who all can create, all the while we need finishers more than anything.

Am I racist if I prefer black haired white women? Although, living in Southern Florida for the past two months, I have seen quite a number of very attractive Hispanic woman.
And, I do prefer the new Lexus sports coupes in white, of course I would have to live in the suburbs rather than they inner city for only one reason...I hate blacks.

This board is really quite hysterical at times.

From what I have heard, Reinhardt had a self entitled attitude this year, and it showed on the ice and was a bit of a problem in the locker room. While I think Kane's track record points to the probability he will do something stupid in the near future, he apparently kept his nose clean while putting up a pretty good goal scoring season. Still the risk associated with him leads me to believe they should unload him when the value is there to do so. I'd be fine if they traded either one, if it was for a solid Dman who was in the right age bracket.

And, GmBotts better get his poop together fast...he has so far ignored the bluelIne except for getting another, albeit younger, version of Bogo.
Moslow and Gorges are still here, and Ennis will be given another shot...that's three slugs we still have, no D acquired and the Expansion Draft and Entry draft are now behind us. Murray could have friggin done that for god sake.
Very disappointing so far....here's to finishing 28th.
We are becoming Edmonton East, without the generational talent

He also signed Antipin, traded a 3rd for a young puck moving Def...and free agency has just started....what should he have done to this point????

Trade a 1st, and 2 2nd for Hamonic...trade a 1st to LVGK to take Molson.

The offseason really hasn't started yet

Remember last year,

Weber for Subban, Stamkos signing, and Taylor hall trade all happened on June 30th within two hours of each other

i dont know why not overpaying for a mediocre blueliner indicates not having his poop together.

The guy has been on the job 6 weeks. An eternity.

Antipin?
Beaulieu?
Housley?
Moving to a different city?
He's clearly a Slacker.

And who was trading for the "three slugs"? Were teams lining up for them? You don't want them, I don't want them, so who, then, wants them?

I can't believe some of the unrealistic cr@p I have to read on this site from "intelligent" fans.

This is why you dont say stupid poop like "if we had one more win every month wed be in the playoffs". not when you're only acquisition that off season on the blueline is dimitry "i played 7 decent games with aaron ekblad" kulikov.

Times like this really separate the "Xbox EA Sports NHL generation" ("but I can trade Moulson, Ennis and Fasching for Doughty! Why can't the new GM?!" or my personal favorite from the last couple days, "we need defense! Now! Why is he drafting forwards?!") from the realistic fan.

We all want to win. But, ffs, don't blame the guy that's been on the job for 6 (frank)ing weeks. If anything, blame Terry.

I think everyone should be excited to get a GM who's been bred in that organization, and who has his fingerprints all over a multiple Stanley Cup champion.

Instead we get, "why hasn't he dumped ALL OUR BAD PLAYERS?".

Eh, whatever. Bridge jumpers be cray-cray.

Can't believe the hate for JB on here, expecially over the fact that he didn't move moulson, ennis, Bogo or gorges. I'm sure he could have gotten McPhee to take one if he way overpaid, which is something we cannot afford to do.

Playoffs should not have been thrust on this team by ex management for this year. We all hate the defence, how the hell does JB fix that in under two months?

Free agency hasn't even started and ppl are ready to hang him.

Also brought over a good guy in sexton from Pitts to oversee Rochester,he's done quite a lot when you look at it, for only being here 6 weeks.

Right... I remember...

If he was out drunk & made practice, would it be mentioned?

So the point should be that he missed practice
Not that he was out drinking
