I'll get Weirdoh on the phone.

Simply put he knows hockey unlike 90% of the people on here who just rant and vent about how the Leafs should do this and do that while what they're saying has absolutely no reasoning and makes no sense. The idea is when you rebuild you don't sign 2nd pairing veteran dmen and fragile forwards. Burke is a dumb ass. He can make amazing trades but outside of that I don't see anything beneficial from him and his white hair.

As I said lots of the time I agree with him but sometimes he's way off

Wouldn't that be tampering???
- Phenom

He's not under contract with HB...I think it'll be legal.

- Phenom

no tampering if they're not drafted

I agree, but if we can't find a taker for Army......can't really bury him in the minors. As for Komarov, I don't know enough about him to judge. His name sounds like a good player, but time will certainly tell. LOL
- Phenom

Army will have takers and Komarov should have stayed in Russia. Time will be the truth telling medium whether or not he belongs and can be good and if he sucks then bury him in the minors and hand Crabbs his job which he did so well last season. My expectations for this team in the upcoming season is bottom 3 finish and land mackinnon.

are you saying that there is something wrong with premature
- bobbyisno1

Hello, it's Nastradamus. He said everything prematurely.

He's not under contract with HB...I think it'll be legal.
- Pen15

Can't we just trade him? Surely we can package him with someone valuable to up his value... Like Ek.

Are you really in love with yourself that much, to the point where you have to talk about yourself?

Did I offend you? If you don't want me to talk about him, then I won't.

It cost Marco Sturm, Brad Stuart and Wayne Primeau for him when he was in his prime, so why not?
- JIMI-JAMES

Because Doug Wilson is not O'Connell.

Semin is Detroit bound. Him and Datsyuk has solid chemistry at the Worlds.

Doesn't alwasy translate to the NHL though...that big ice and softer play makes a huge difference.

Careful. Many of them are fairly homophobic.

Oh I know, but I think that will play into Semins decision and interest in playing for Detroit.

In one statement you call out the 90%, and in the other you seem to put yourself into it...

We have a deeper prospect pool today than we've had in 50yrs...

We have more 1st round picks in our system today than we've had in our history...

Development of these young prospects doesn't happen over night.

- optimus-reim

Should I find you a more comfortable swinging device for his balls?

All it takes is a good coach, GM and hard working players to make one of the bad apples turn it around. I can see him working there.
- TML4Life85

I think Semin needs to and will go somewhere out of the spotlight and where he is not 'the guy' and will compliment a good playmaking centre. Long Island? Colorado?

Army will have takers and Komarov should have stayed in Russia.

Army will be gone for a 3rd. 2nd if we're lucky, and we do have Burke at the helm so I'll go with the latter.

but no elite players in the system other than Kessel, and no hands down elite prospects in the system (aside from arguably Gardiner)

ask St. Louis how a lack of a first line works in the playoffs

Because Doug Wilson is not O'Connell.

Inserts obligatory 2nd rounder and promise to never offer sheet Clowe/Pavelski
