IMO Kadri is the perfect guy to play in a game like this. Draw's penalties and throw's those little hit's that piss people off.
- honesthockey

its gona be rough.. and if he's on the trading block.. well.. this makes sense

dont need him getting hurt therefore nullifying a deal

and dont kid yourself.. burke may not want to move him but kadri's name IS being discussed.. it would be foolish to think otherwise

yes he does turn the puck over in the offensive zone, ...so do all other guys on the team...where this team needs the most help is breaking out of their zone...their break out plays are horrible...all I am saying is Kadri has been one of the best at getting puck out of their own zone...
- vermie22

Very true. A couple of games ago on the PP Kadri gave the puck away at the blueline. Commentators went on and on about it. On the same PP Connolly turned it over not once but twice and not a word.

Crabbs has already been ditched.
- honesthockey

for who?

he will be on the third line tonight with lombardi and connolly no?

4th line will be rosehill / steckel / brown

oh.. boyce as the 3rd line winger maybe?

Relax Leaf Nation ...Kadri is not being traded ...hes just sitting because hes a bust
- broadstreet11

alright, who forgot to lock the doggie door

For whatever reason. Wilson dislikes Kadri. It will never change.
- leafs_wingp

Maybe just maybe there is less to this then everyone thinks, maybe Kadri is still banged up from the Buff game and they want to give him a day or 2 more to make sure he is 100%.

...or we could all look on the bright side, and say that this is the first time in a heckuva long time that the Leafs have had enough depth in any position that real decisions on a line-up have to be made.

No?

OK, back to the doom and gloom, then.
- Atomic Wedgie

quit speaking absurdities lol

I'm not sure anyone would have a problem with this if everyone around him was outplaying him. Fact of the matter is they aren't.
- honesthockey

This is true.....kadri is a good scapegoat!

its gona be rough.. and if he's on the trading block.. well.. this makes sense

dont need him getting hurt therefore nullifying a deal

and dont kid yourself.. burke may not want to move him but kadri's name IS being discussed.. it would be foolish to think otherwise
- Dozzer

Absolutely it's being discussed. On here in the press and:

GM: "Burkie, what about Kadri?"
Burkie: "(frank) off"

everyones a bust...Kadri, Schenn, Lombardi, they all suck!

Yeah I meant ditched from the Grabovski line.

I BELIEVE IN EVERYTHING I HEAR. BEHOLD......THE FUTURE!

slow day at the office?

Once again, I'm going to ask you to view this:

http://www.nhl.com/ice/ic...tracker.htm?id=2011020644

Disclaimer: it ain't pretty.

Komi over Schenn. I don't like it either, but let's just put out our best and try to win a hockey game, OK?
- Atomic Wedgie

What are we proving here? That Gunnar made a bad Switch after Schenn went to his side to fill a passing lane?

sorry dude, but that's Gunnar's fault, not Schenn's.

Komi's soft ass play on the first terrible goal behind the net is equally demoralizing.

oh and then this.

http://www.nhl.com/ice/ic...20649&navid=sb:icetracker

All 3 goals a direct result of Komi's bad pass, soft play, and poor skating ability

Komi sits sir, and this is why

everyones a bust...Kadri, Schenn, Lombardi, they all suck!
- noename09

They are though ...Kadri is a bust, Schenn is overrated and Lombardi was never good in the first place

Absolutely it's being discussed. On here in the press and:

GM: "Burkie, what about Kadri?"
Burkie: "(frank) off"
- honesthockey

you always want what ya cant have

Absolutely it's being discussed. On here in the press and:

i dont think anyone is untouchable in the world of burke.. and i mean no one.

or wilson is (frank)ing with everyone for his own amusement.. hell.. i'd do it if i were the coach of the leafs
- Dozzer

That is what I mean... Wilson already knows, so do the players. It is the Leafs playing games.

If they devoted half as much energy to preparation as they do to Twitter, feuds with the media, trying to think of a new way to not actually say the word concussion... etc., then we might actually be a competitive team.

...or we could all look on the bright side, and say that this is the first time in a heckuva long time that the Leafs have had enough depth in any position that real decisions on a line-up have to be made.

No?

OK, back to the doom and gloom, then.
- Atomic Wedgie

Totally agree.

Lets just hope that someone will take our 2 dimes and a nickel and give us a quarter in return.

slow day at the office?
- nohope

Very.

I BELIEVE IN EVERYTHING I HEAR. BEHOLD......THE FUTURE!

- wingz4life

Oy vey, a critic in every crowd

And I'm going to defend the Connolly signing. He was the best centre out there (Richards wasn't coming here). Sure, the money is high, but we didn't need the cap room, and the fact that it's only 2 years is good.
- Atomic Wedgie

Been saying this all along. He isn't part of the future, he is barely part of the present... but what options were there out there?

I would STILL rather the Connolly signing at his terms, than the Leafs signing Richards at the Rangers' terms.
