Same with Pasta. It's so refreshing to see people enjoy the fact that they get paid to play a game for a living

On TSN Overdrive, Shanny told Hayes/O'Dog/Noodles several times, that it is Dubas' team now; Said that, if he needs support, I'll offer any support I can, but all decisions will be made by Dubas..

Giving him the keys to the Ferrari..

Is he a UFA or is this a trade target?
- RickJames77

trade target; Fenton said he wants to make hockey trades to improve the Wild; Feels like the team needs a new direction.

Coyle would be a perfect fit here; good size, decent skill and give us really good center depth;

Hyman-Matthews-Marner
Marleau-Kadri-Nylander
Johnsson-Coyle-Kapanen
Grundstrom- Bozak/Aaltonen/Gauthier/Whatever - Brown
- PatC80

I'd rather try to nab Spurgeon to be honest Or Brodin.

Wonder what Fenton wants. Probably cheaper contract players. He's inherited a bit of a mess. A good team, but not a great team with a lot of aging deals.

Poor Brownie, back to line 4....my guess is he'd be ahead of both Kap and Johnsson.

Oh ok - could be an interesting acquisition. I think it would definitely be an upgrade over Bozak, but I guess it would just depend on what it would take to land him.

A package deal, Spurgeon and Coyle; fills 2 needs for us; A good C and an RHD;

Coyle and Spurgeon for Carrick, Sparks, Brown and #25 pick

I would love to add Brodin. The Bruins were barking up this tree a year or two ago and the price was quite high IIRC

the kid is 6'3, 220lbs. Definitely an improvement over the bozek

Just basing it off of your " Probably cheaper contract players" comment;

Maybe Gardiner instead of Carrick...Since Gards is from Minnesota.

replace spark by Liljegren

How else do you hold someone accountable in the NHL? Take away their Xbox?

Ice time and line situations is all a coach really has.

Fack vegas.


Dont have to hold them accountable for every mistake. Players make mistakes all the time, if they go out on the ice trying not to make mistakes, they get off their game and become inaffective.
He rarely held gardiner accountable, seemed to only be certain players.

I'm only allowing this deal if the Leafs get this relatively unknown super prospect named Viktor Loov!!!!!

Not a UFA till 20-21

Lou sure did loov him.

Dumba
- mr.sir

As much as I would like Dumba on the Leafs, why would Minnesota trade him? He is their version of Morgan Rielly.

Lou sure did loov him.
- AdamFrench

there is a lot to Loov about him.

It's all day every day for the past year or so. It's little subtle digs on every topic, player, decision etc.

Fair play to him though, if you can, why not?

It's what did Bix in at the end.

Him and Lums are deeply missed.
