Pretty sure LeBrun confirmed that JVR and the 1st was never the offer... he said each piece may have been involved at diffferent points but never together

Bozak is not defensively inept. He actually was one of our most responsible centers. He always stayed below the hash marks until the puck was out and was hard on the puck/body with forecheckers. I liked his game last year a lot.

So more of a defensive ninja?

Last year was definitely his best, does well on the right line ie not 1 or 2.

Why do I always see people giving Hunwick such a hard time? He had a pretty good year with us last year, for not having any other options. Him and Polak were both pretty solid for us last year, even if you don't like to admit it.

They were better when they were apart. Hunwick looked pretty good in the playoffs too.

I bet Hunwick is back, not so much Polak after that injury.

How does a guy like Girardi go from being bought out to seeking a multi year deal?? I don't get that. Guy should be lucky to get a PTO.

I don't understand why people believe that rumour could be remotely true after learning it was Steve Simmons who initially reported it. It's bullpoop.

Not sure how he managed to read the speculation about the Leafs and Thornton, but then miss the part where he said the Leafs didn't offer JVR and a 1st. You'd think if he was going to parrot information other people have already discussed that he'd read all the information first...

Even looking at what he went for. Our first was a few picks better than Calgary (I think, I was pretty baked) and then they got 2 2nds. There's no way jvr is worth less than 2 2nds. Doesn't even remotely make sense. I think once the first round was over it was jvr straight up or maybe something small added and then they went with Calgary's offer instead

free agency is meh. i don't expect anything big.

i wouldn't mind shattenkirk, but realistically, rags will outbid us.

if we can scoop up smith on a 2 year deal, maybe that. Same with alzner. I’d be ok waiting to see if if these guys outprice themselves and grabing them for a couple years; in say august.

i think trade will be our best option. demers out of FLA or wait until the new year and make another run at vatanen. if jets get serious about trouba, I think we have to make an offer.

Doesn’t seem like very many good/high probability options are out there.

Tallon is undoing what Rowe did. so there may be a deal to be had there depending on the cost.

idk, a mid-late 1st and 2 2nds is about all i'd expect in a jvr trade.

Why are we still talking about Ham sandwich? He's sh!t, didn't want him, why give up a top ten in the league left winger for him? He has a reasonable contract, big fuken deal.

The caravan leader in the desert stops the caravan to inform everyone that I have some good news and some bad news. First the bad news, we've run out of food and have to eat camel sh!t. The good news is we have lots of camel sh!t.

Get a good player and stop talking to flakes like Barf Snow, Jim Benning and McPhee trying to peddle their scraps.

I see a 3way deal

Tanev to MTL
Nylander and a 2nd to Van
Fucale and a turd to TO

- Symba007



you are spending too much time in the Canuck thread it would seem....


only way Toronto is moving Nylander is to acquire Halak, Ryder and 2nd.

Costs a little less, maybe as much as hamonic

Kapanen and a 2nd...
