I wish we had him.

Best example of what coaching can do in spite of talent.

You're stormey, right?
- Feeling Glucky?

Yup.

The Leafs trade their 2nd round picks for the next 25 years for Getzlaf/Perry/Ryan.
- As_I_See_It

Could you do that??

Komisarek for Kaberle
Then we bury Kaberle with the Marlies

PERFECT!
- billyberg10

Couldnt Kaberle be traded back to the Bruins at the deadline?

Well he is a storm of trouble.
- LeafMan

Now see that is not quite true at all. Sometimes someone may have an electric personality, and it well draws people towards them. Some good, some not, it's a crap shoot really depending on the day. Misunderstood is more like it.

So Howson has asked for Skinner, Logan Couture and both Brayden Schenn and Sean Couturier


- Cfser

Someone has to to bring that guy back down to earth really.

A lot of people are calling Howson an idiot and it's unjustified. People forget that before this Nash situation was started, Howson was highly regarded as a very bright, young, NHL executive. Nash pretty much demanded a trade and now Howson has to deal with it. Why shouldn't he keep the price as high as he can? As the days go by, the demand gets higher and the supply gets lower.

Everybody keeps saying that his price is too high but how can Howson possibly be an idiot for keeping the price as high as possible? In this situation, Howson is an idiot if he sets the bar too low. This is Rick Nash he has to trade. The only star player that franchise has ever seen. First ever draft pick, first ever franchise player, Rocket Richard winning, Team Canada caliber player. Why should he settle for less?

Skinner, Couture, Schenn and Couturier would all be fortunate to replicate what Nash has been able to accomplish in his career and it's exactly the type of player Howson needs to acquire if he wants to salvage anything from this situation. Think of what the Bruins got for Joe Thornton. Everything turned out smelling like roses in Boston but can Howson honestly afford to get less than maximum return on Nash? Absolutely not.

Well yeah.

Terry Bross, agent for Shane Doan, says he has not heard from #Leafs regarding his client's services

If Burke doesn't get some goaltending help/ some solid vets on this team I will be very disappointed. It was so obvious how badly we needed this during our collapse. Phaneuf cannot carry the load himself. Burke better not forget our needs just because were not playing hockey right now. I'm tired of him hoping for a prayer, its not good enough.

BRILLIANT!

Kaberle for Hamilton

- dionschenn

Like I said, not even a call to gauge if there is any interest in Doan's part. I don't understand that. Oh well...

And if the agent is coming out to say that, you gotta wonder if the Leafs aren't a team he actually wants to play for.

Though it's more likely the agent just wants to get the Leafs in it to bump up the $$.
- Feeling Glucky?

His agent was asked a question and answered it.
It's either Phoenix or out west for Doan.
Maybe Pitt for a year

more to come...

Just because I keep saying my car is worth 20k doesn't make it worth 20k. In fact the price keeps dropping the longer i keep it

An agent can very easily say "no comment".

They never received a call because they saw his number and let it ring.

No.

Whitney is a great player and had magical chemistry with Vrbata and Hanzal.

Do you drive a Ferrari? If you did, would you trade it in for an Acura?
