Carlyle's going to try him as our #1 center during pre-season. That to me tells me that he's capable of filling the top LW role on our team as well. To put it another way, if he fails as the #1 center, that doesn't fail him as a top line winger automatically.

And I like Lupul, I like the chemistry between Kessel and him, but the fact is we have a winger in JVR who's capable of replacing him makes him an asset worth moving to get a #1 center, especially one who's very good both ways, fits into our age group, and is very good playmaker: just think of him setting up Kessel...

Stastny is not an elite center or a #1 center on a good team. Why bother? We stay small, we stay unelite, we over pay in salary, we miss the playoffs.....cycle repeated.

So whats new in Leaf land?

And with better wingers in JVR and Kessel (assuming Lupul gets dealt in exchange; total speculation, obviously but it's Friday) instead of McGinn and Jones, that point total would be a thing of the past.

Kind of hard to predict the future really. However it is friday, so who cares?

Makes sense.

@PaulHaysom_Chek
Roberto Luongo was just on cfox where he said "it's been a great 6 years, but it's time to move on" #Luongo #Canucks


Anyone see this yet?

No, I'm still marvelling at the wisdom of @wewantacupcom (sarcasm)

But welcome back to Florida Roberto.

And Kessel went from Savard.to Bozak and didntt miss a beat. What's your point? We pray?

No but B-Hud post means to me, Luongo has been asked to waive his NTC to go somewhere.

Jays are getting Fielder and Raptors are getting Nash

I get the feeling they start the season with pretty much the roster they have now, and all this toronto is getting everybody is all for naught, like pretty much every other off season.

IMHO, this is how it stands.

Luongo wants(between remaining teams of interst):

70% Florida
30% Toronto

Team wants:

30% Florida
70% Toronto

Jays are getting Fielder and Raptors are getting Nash
- Gunslinger

Was there an agreement with Nash and his agent that if traded to Toronto he wanted to try a different sport!?

Burke was recently quoted saying otherwise

I am pretty sure if the went to TO, his agent said he would quit being his agent.

I'm sorry you don't know sports. Steve Nash doesn't care

I'm telling you, I bet Burke gets another top 6 winger instead of a 1C, have a feeling that is the way it will go down.

He has always been honest and forthcoming at all times. I believe sometimes leaf fans really need to use their bs detector every time he speaks. I am not sure if they sell those in TO, but i am willing to bet that there could be a huge market for them.

I think the same. #1C's are tough to pick up, or let go of.

Im sorry you dont know your players....its Rick Nash....

Looking at your t-shirt, it got me to thinking. UG could create a sweet twitter account as IncarceratedUG and do things like

#MEDIOCRE
#LEARN TO READ
#FAIL

And people would love it
- noename09

He should sell these t-shirts as well.
