you are very underrated, which is a shame. Youre like the Ian White of the Leafs...but without the hockey skill.

I was drinking Keiths dark ale last night which I find tasty...I like Porters etc...and on the case it said to mix 3/4 Keiths white with 1/4 Keiths dark...gave it a try and not bad.

Probably not... but the replacement probably doesn't get "a lot" of it back. The replacement needs to be in the Top 20 in scoring in the league to get "a lot" of it back. IMO

OK this is for you and Faceto...

Leafs "goals for"

75-76 - 294
76-77 - 301
77-78 - 271
78-79 - 267 (Macdonald's last full year)

79-80 - 304
80-81 - 322
81-82 - 298

So...

1) The Leafs didn't automatically lose Macdonald's production (he averaged over 40 goals for those 4 complete seasons).

2) You may argue that there were "other" factors involved... but you would just be restating my point!

... you can't just assume when you lose a guy, your team loses all that offense. It just doesn't work that way.

Oh and in case you were wondering...

Yup......... I brought it up with my chat with Devellano. I had asked him if Schenn hhad first pairing potential.

His response was, Ian white is a first pairing defensemen and he left it at that.

Basically, a first pairing defensemen is only as good as your partner is.

thats ALL any leafs fan ever talks about is Leino.. don't you have any other ammunition??

thats pathetic.

Toronto has hte highest paid 3rd/4th lines in the NHL.. Connolly, Lombardi, and Armstrong. they account for 11.25M cap hit.

Not to mention paying Komi 4.5M and Schenn 3.6M so early in his career. Lets not forget paying Liles 4.2 this year.

Seriously?? Come after Buffalo about bad contracts.. Look at your team first.

Okay, I get your point.......... I misunderstood you. I thought you were referring to the actual players involved as opposed to as a team as a whole

I'm sorry......... friends?

yessir.. people tend to forget that the circumstances in which a player thrives is probably more important than the players skill

for instance.. goalies and shut down defensemen ted to look better on trapping teams
