He's back checking, sticking to guys, prevented a goal last night to keep the game tied, makes decent passes... I was just saying for being "Out of place" he doesn't really look that out of place... I mean sure 41 pts in 60 something games isn't #1 C numbers but it's nice seeing him improve every year considering he was just a older kid who signed out of college, no expectations from him.

Bozak was the next coming of Messier when he signed with us...according to the thousands of "hockey experts" out there

He must have been watching youtube compilations of him...best way to evaluate talent.

For what burke gave up for Dion though... can we really complain?

It's hard not to be impressed, what with all the rock music and cool effects.

Getzlaf is 26, turning 27 this year........... and once again, you do not pass up the opportunity to get a Getzlaf or a Staal

my mistake on the ages, however, you DO still pass on them at this point. to get either one of those guys would take a boatload of picks and players from the current roster. the leafs don't have any depth at any position, therefore it'd be like the kessel trade all over again.

IF the leafs are picking in the 5-9 range, sure, trade the pick for some talent (IF said talent is actually available). if the pick is a high lottery pick, keep it and grow from there...

Dion the player is not too bad....... overpriced, but a decent piece to have

Its the captaincy that we are all female doging about

I remember when he signed, he was the best player not playing in the NHL or some poop they say every year. Honestly though anyone who is realistic would see him as a 23 year old College player that the Leafs took a chance on cause there cupboards were bare.

Hoping for a win from Montreal, Carolina and Anaheim tonight!

The best you can HOPE for from a top 3 pick is for someone like Getzlaf

Therefore, you give up the HOPE plus a Colborne, who is also HOPE, plus a useful plug like Kuli

Do that deal every single day

I will always take the sure thing over HOPE

Borje Salming refused the honor, Vaive was given the team captaincy at the tender age of 22. He was unable to handle the additional pressures, and fell into disfavor with several Leafs coaches, most notably Don Maloney, John Brophy and Mike Nykoluk.

They didn't like Vaive's lack of focus on defensive play nor his undisciplined drinking and partying. When he overslept and missed practice during the 1985-86 season, he was stripped of his captaincy, greatly wounding the veteran.

Rick needs to come and teach Dion

Agreement.

He is what he is. He certainly is no leader.

I'm glad, I think saying "Entry" was politically incorrect.

You know what's going to be fun ....for the next decade comparing the guys taken by the Leafs and Habs this year in the draft.

Have they ever both had top 5 picks in the modern era?

I agree he isn't a captain but himself as a player... he's a 2nd/3rd pair Dman. Top pairing Dman if he plays sound defensively and isn't a pylon on the ice. This team has vets that needed to step up... they all need to be dumped for players who care about toronto. It would be a nice change. Personally im going for the blue jays now.... sick of watching the leafs

What happened to the fans throwing waffles? That made for jolly good laughs.

Some dude got charged for it....so I think that was enough to get people to stop.

Still shocked we're battling Anaheim for a lotto spot

Last game of the year against MTL is going to be hilarious Loser gets Galchenyuk!

If there weren't so many corporate people in the stands the ACC would actually be more hostile to the leafs.... I can see people throwing garbage if there were people that actually cared in the stands

Good question... I have no idea.

I am NOT looking forward to this...the Leafs don't stand a chance. They will absolutely find a way to draft the bum of the top 5 while Montreal probably trades their top 5 pick down to the 8th pick and gets a prospect for it and then selects a gem at #8 while the Leafs mess up the 4th overall pick.

Why oh why does it have to be this painful, ALL THE TIME!
