Up to 2010: http://oilers.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=558178

Last year NJ won it and moved up from 8th to 4th.

well.. he fell right off with the marlies .. which tells me burke doesnt feel he is ready .. or quite possibly never will be

so instead of grabo being a tradable asset.. colborne can be.. or.. maybe they might want to try to grrom him into another role (say checking centre)

i think this summer will be very telling.. and for those who dont get moved.. the pre-season will show us what carlyle thinks of the players and where he puts them on his own depth chart.

one thing is for certain.. colborne needs to find consistency, if he doesnt.. he'll never be a full time NHL player
- Dozzer

So he's a borderline bust already. Will the Leafs ever have 'top prospects' that don't turn out to be busts?

Hi Fan2

i dont wanna be the guy that says it

but i think colborne sucks. lol
- big_dion

he's very good til he's ten feet from the net.. then his hands turn into Mike Brown's for some reason..

Eakins should work on his outside shooting.. maybe try converting him to a winger

I'm a little late on the other language jokes but...

That's why I'm late.

2000 NY Islanders Moved from 5th to 1st G Rick DiPietro
2007 Chicago Moved from 5th to 1st RW Patrick Kane

Thank god for the Islander's perpetual incompetence; it helps Leaf fans sleep at night.

Here was a nice stroke of luck:

2004 Washington Moved from 3rd to 1st LW Alex Ovechkin

Here's a notable fail:

1995 Los Angeles Moved from 7th to 3rd D Aki Berg

lol have you looked at the UFA list this year? its ugly.

http://www.mynhltraderumo...free-agents-unrestricted/

i'd rather avoid that market like plague.. and.. as a side note.. anyone who female doges about the grabo contract being absurd needs to look at this list.. and if they still feel that way after looking at this list then they have absolutely no concept of supply and demand and how that very basic business princible effects sports contracts.
- Dozzer

I'm not saying he's going to get Parise or Suter ....but shouldn't we at least expect that he tries?

Also, there's a few 3rd/4th line guys that I'd take off that list to play important roles. Maybe Gaustad or Kelly as a checking line centre ....Glass or Parros or somebody similar on the 'energy' line.

in detroit he wouldnt even get considered for a role in the NHL til he was 23, 24, 25ish.. and even then he'd start in the bottom six and work his way up

No.

- Dozzer

That ratio improves significantly when you're drafting in the top 5.

which isnt really old in fairness.

30-32 is still a prime years age.. its not like he will be my age or anything lol
- Dozzer

with that other first we could maybe grab a decent goalie prospect. Grabo is fine but
really we need to suck again next year... I thought this season we were over the hump... but clearly we are not. Colborne and Kadri are old enough to be given a fulltime chance next season..

Done,

nice to have ya back leafman!

anyone >25 deserves patience, my friend.
- noename09

for sure,

im not saying give up on the kid, im saying at this point, hes not playing good, and if we slotted him in 2nd line center, my god would we ever be in a world of hurt next season.

this team is a mess right now though realistically..

I want a poutine so bad right meow
