Last year was a fluke, he's a 15r -20 goal guy...that's about it.
It will be a bonus if Colborne turns into a 2nd liner...but for the most part he'll be a 3rd liner as projected.

Kulemin has an excellent, sometimes lethal shot, so it's just a matter of rediscovering his finish.

Joe's size makes me optimitic that he will be able to take it to the next level. I jsut hope we are able to provide him with genuine skill that helps him build confidence

Regarding Leafs... Irons in fire, but at this exact moment nothing is close. Can change quickly, tho. Lots of talk with multiple clubs.

he has been following burkie last 2 days for magazine.

edit: my bad on re-post

Jesus. More like monty python, you see that Gomez contract? Lecavalier? Damn.

yeah, those arent pretty deals at all...

.......now you got me picturing random GMs working at the department of funny walks

Refer to last post.

I didn't laugh

But when you're talking about acquiring high-value players, you really can't look at it in terms of what they should get. If you want them you pay what you have to, and you need to find some entry level contract to make up for it.

Otherwise, you wind up signing Kubina and Gill instead of Chara and some prospect/ahler

I guess you've missed the past 20 years of the Toronto maple leafs.

Now now, we've had 4, count 'em four opportunities to make it to the cup finals.

One was a gretz factor

One was against the Carolina crappers the year we lost Berard.

it's not all brendan convery's and Jonas Hoglunds

This isnt what this is about, and you know it isnt, i questioned how you could prove your homeristic belief that Grabs was more talent that Pleks has despite the only measurement of the claim, being stats, is not on your side, and then you get pissy with me when i call you on making a homer call, and yet you piss in the face of most leaf fans on this thread all day about being delusional, and when you get called on it, fairly i might add, you get pissy and thin skinned about it and cry wolf. Now isnt that rich Mr Rational Leaf Fan. You are out of your league on this one bud, let it go, cause by every post, i make you and your argument look worse and worse.
- shinebox

Whatever helps you believe your troll reputation exists, besides the stuff with the other Leaf fans you instigated, by quoting me from another thread. But again you dance around what you want, because God forbid I say something about skill you know skating, stick handling etc... about a Leaf player. If you want to contiue this it's on the EE thread

Oh really now? That what you think? I don't need anyone here to back me up I'd move this EE thread you'd like.
And again, stats do tell certain things, but skill don't always reflect into big point totals, but your homer defend a Hab mentality came in. I said Plek was better defensivley but his +/- would say otherwise, Oh but let me guess +/- means nothing right?

i think it's you typing abilities

that and wilson isnt about to publicly lambast a player that the article is about

he may call guys out after a game from time to time... but he isnt so stupid to come out and say "i'm not happy with tim's play this year"
- Dozzer

I understand...but it still doesn't change a thing.

It's funny how when Wilson criticizes a player in the media, he's throwing them under the bus and shattering their confidence. When he defends and supports a player to the media, he's making excuses for lack of performance.

yes

I dont care one way or the other, im just trying to figure out how Mr Rational Leaf Fan plans on proving his homeristic claim, with out stats backing his cause, and with no other way to judge a player's talent level?

I know people don't like Grammar Nazis, but seriously, if I have to backtrack and mentally insert commas, paragraph breaks etc. in order to make sense of what someone's saying it really takes up more effort than it should.

Plus, I just can't take people like that seriously. I mean, if you want somebody to have these broken, non-sensical yap-fests with go date a 16 year old girl or something.
