So, UG. How many accounts do you have now?


6 or 7?

Are you really that addicted to the site? You get banned and you have to constantly make new accounts?

But he was originally a center.

Gardiner was a forward in highschool, lets put him there, too..

(frank) dude, thats a big looking lineup

Almost looks like Burke might be actively looking for guys with size and toughness.

Biggs, JVR, Frattin, Colborne, Ross, Broll, Devane, Carrick, Creszenzi(sp?), Ashton.

Now, half those guys at least won't make it... but still... Lots of size added into the prospect pool lately.

- ThePresident

in USHL, sure. He's no where near enough of a defensive player to play center in the NHL.

LEafsTV is airing them on show "Leafs Today". 1st airing is 6pm, then repeated right away, then 50 more times throughout the day.

don't see it online though so no luck.
- Big_Lightnin

sweet, i know what im doing at 6pm then

Is it safe to say Kessel is the best RW in the league? Can't really think of another RW who is better.

What is the reason we don't try Kessel at center?
- ThePresident

not even worth a try

we already did

Just stop.

Not too sure.

But in all seriousness, those 2 will most likely be our 3c and 4c.


Carlyle has basically confirmed McClement will be our shutdown/defensive 3rd line guy.

Meaning the 4th line position is Steckels.

Won't really know until training camp, and a few weeks of the season are through. Remember how Versteeg was a lock for top line LW until everyone realized how (frank)ing (frank)ed that line was against real defenders?

Lupul - Grabovski - JVR
Frattin - Bozak - Kulemin
Winnik - McClement - Brown
Komarov

Kadri will be traded.
Connolly, Steckel, Lombardi all on their way out.

Kessel needs two defensively responsible players / physical players on his line that will balance out his defensive shortcomings.

Trade for E. Kane to be the #1 LW.
Trade for Filppula or Dubinsky to be the #1 C.

Kessel was drafted as a centerman... Should atleast give it a try in between two bigger bodies.

they'll probably be replaying yesterday's this afternoon too, or later tonight, and all weekend, and next week, and for the next 2 months...

no

didn't Reilly break his leg too?
- Big_Lightnin

torn ACL, but he worked his butt off to get back into shape and he's 100% now. im not worried one bit by his knee. And the fact that he was so determined to get his knee healthy was what gave Burke a raging boner

Just stop.
- jbold

Atleast come up with one better.

really don't see them splitting Kessel and Lupul after last year. If they did somehow get E Kane, put him with JVR and Grabo and watch them own everybody
