After observing JimmyT's posts for some time now. It is apparent he hasn't the slightest idea of what he is talking about. Case and point thinking Kessel is a better all around player than Parise.

That says it all.

You're questioning Eklund's sources?!
- gravyface

do you think the players make a game of it? see who can start the craziest roomer?

Can you imagine the aftermath if Rick Nash actually got traded to Toronto

This is hilarious.

A twitter fight.

Bout time someone from the real media stepped up.

... today

From Burke's words too sounds like he doesn't intend on adding anybody else in the back end except some kids from the minors.
- weirdoh

Weird how he expects Carlyle to play a defensive system without any real defensive dmen..

Besides Komi and Gunnar.. none of the others even know what their own zone looks like.. especially Liles who is a massive minus that was signed longterm.

exactly. leafs have sucked for so long what another 3 years?
- Blindfatkid

Who says 3 years? try 5++++

We do not have a bluechip goalie yet.. so we have to draft him, plus time to develop...three years is not even close to the timeline your strategy suggests

Why not we've already committed to 40-50 years.

He's not a household name among Leafs nation. He came up and played 1 game. He's a great story. Bounced around the AHL.

From the dirty shwa too. represent!

I'm not ready to poop on Liles yet. He came back terrible after getting his bell rung. I'm assuming though kids like Blacker will get a serious look. He's a defense first type ain't he? Holzer offensive?


Defensive for Holzer apparently.

dude, no he isn't. Parise is a complete player, Kessel plays 1 end of the ice.

I could admit that Kessel is a more gifted offensive player, and has a better shot, but then the stats even refute this too.

Oh ya, and Parise has actually scored over 40G in a season, and over 90 pts...

Just check the stats alone man.
- Big_Lightnin

Well, hes much older. Give Phil the kind of team 07 devils (or 08 i am not gonna look it up ) had and he will put up similar numbers. If you compare their stats at the same age., Phil is superior. People forget hes only 24.

To me, what Phil did by himself last year was the equivalent of 50 goals/110 points. Consider: no centre. No one to take the other teams top defensive players off of him. Every single shift against the other teams Chara.

I was a big Burke fan and welcomed his brand of hockey as you can see by the last few cup teams.. it really is the model to go for.. but the truth is the Leafs have turned the Muskoka 5 into Air Toronto's Comfy Cushy Full Plane Softie Executive Class..

The Leafs have to be pretty close to the softest team in the League.. and it shows.

Release the Kraken!!

they have a head start. the cupboards aren't empty and in three years hopefully or not alll they will need is a goalie then they can trade because they will have an abundance of talent they have collected for 3 years.

We already have that my man, burke has been quoted as such saying the cupboards can't get much fuller than they are now.

I like Blacker.. should have got a shot last season.. the way some were playing.. btw I never gave up on Liles he has always been a career minus player.. he is what he is.. a small player that can make a pass and can get pushed off down low for an easy tap in.

Signing him to an extension was one of Burke's biggest errors ever.

Whatever. Coming from a guy who basically just pulled the equivalent of telling on me, I could give a ___. I will tell you this, there are certain people here who actually know what they are talking about, and they will take my posts over yours any day, so whatever pal.

just like JVR is a 100 point centre?

With all due respect, Talking about FACTS and attacking someone are two completely differen't things. Track record has proven Dreger to be a much more reliable source than Eklund. Track record has also proven that Dreger has more credibility that I do - I do not take it personally
