I see him taking Armstrongs role/spot if they have a plan to move Colby out somehow.

Could make sense. I would rather Army but we shall see what kind of assets he brings in.

I don't know how you got that from "4th line agitator (rat) who is cheaper and better than Armstrong" but all the power to you.

Glad to see you appeared.
These guys were missing you.

Decent speed, not super fast but fast enough. He's a douche and takes stupid moronic penalties, backs down from fights and chirps everything that moves in 7 languages. Kind of like Max Lapierre but a fudge ton worse.

I miss Tucker

Well, were you expecting a superstar?

He's a bottom 6 guy. If that.

Just watch it. You will understand.

Early tucker....later tucker was horrendous.

I have, and I was expecting highlights of a 4th line plug. So my expectations weren't high.

Maybe I'm doing this wrong, but it doesn't look like that's too great a concern:

Right off the bat, you can drop Rosehill, Mueller, Hamilton, Dupuis, maybe Zigomanis, Crabb, Greenop, Finger (!), Gysbers, Lashoff, Fraser (never heard of him).

That'll get you started.

And don't forget all the trade proposals we have seen so far for Staal, Getzlaf or Nash all involve Toronto packaging 6 mediocre players for one superstar - that will definitely blow up the log jam.

A lot are RFA, so they have to decide who to keep and cut loose, I want them to make room for the junior players that are ready to join the Marlies, don't want them in the ECHL. I took into account all the players, I still have them right at 50 spots taken. I added, Abbott, Komarov and Granberg to the mix.

exactly....a fourth liner who will be lucky to see more than 20 games as a leaf.
it at least appears he puts in an honest effort, which is more than can be said for several leafs on most nights last season.

You love him.

"On his absolute best day during his prime with amazing linemates, he's a 3rd liner in the NHL."

I think you skipped a small part of that sentence.

If last year was his breakout year, shouldn't we be trading him this summer?

The highlight reel showcases talent that I feel as though I could almost replicate.

Have to wait for his value to rise to a 1st and a top prospect first.

all we need is honest hockey to show up and its take your pet to school day on Hbuzz!

Here's where your logic falls apart: I don't think he's ever going to be as good as Lombardi.

Here's a question for all:

What kind of offer do you think Burke should extend to Franson?

I haven't settled on numbers yet, but I'm pretty sure mine are going to be lower than yours.
