I'll take your word for it Glucky. You've obviously watched him way more than I did.

As for Karlsson, I think he'll bounce back, he didn't have that long to recover from a major injury and his whole team shat the bet most of the year.

He'll be back to form next season imo.

But how much of your team's future are you willing to bet on this hunch?

"Unpossible" - Uggy in the Short Bus



- .HOHO.

totally unpossible.

The Leafs are going to be too tired, having to play 19 games in the next 46 days. Plus Andersen is gonna forget how to play goalie because he may or may not face a lot of shots in however many games he still has to start.

He's play well down there; I mean honestly, besides faceoffs, is Moore an upgrade over him?
- gravyface

My question too. What does Moore do really well for us at this point? Not a good setup man. Not strong on face-offs. No great skill on killing penalties. This is the area we need to trade for. Kappy doesn't stand a hope in heck with Moore on his line. We need 4th line goals in the play-offs. Not minute munchers.

Take it from this Leafs fan:

No matter how deep a hole you have dug w.r.t. your team's future, you can always keep digging deeper.

And deeper...

- PatC80

After last night, I am firmly convinced that Kapanen needs to be moved up from the 4th line.

Kid can skate with the puck.

guys were blowing by him in years past too.

he had methot to bail him out and anderson not being a sieve to cover up those mistakes.

- Tumbleweed


Exactly this. His defensive game this season is exactly the same as it's always been. He's just not getting bailed out by his teammates.

The only difference in his game this season from seasons past is that he isn't one of the best offensive D-men in the league right now.

Of course he does. Pretty cool, the Leafs having depth and all.

He was no slouch in the AHL. He'll play the ping pong game with brown methinks.

I agree, the kid can flat out fly...

On the right side, we have Nylander, Marner, Brown and Kapanen..Unless, Nylander is moved to C, how can we put Kapanen in the top 6?

Improve the bottom 6 and juggle Brown and Kap giving the two lines a little more even playing time.

Then do we really want him? I mean, for the money you would have to pay and the assets you would have to give up?

Put one of them on the left side.

IMHO, wingers should be able to play both sides.

41 points in 53 games. he's not that far off his usual pace.

i think the sens are just garbage and have hit rock bottom. kinda like kessel's last year here. that last year was just a slight down year that he recovered from. karrlson should do the same.
