Can't wait to see that first line get eaten alive every game.

Who said that would be the lines for the entire season? Just a suggestion to test them in camp and preseason.

He will. Shut your whore mouth.

Kadri's got higher potential than Bozak... and is more familiar with the center game than JVR. If his workout with Roberts can get him stronger on his skates, it's definitely worth a try.

Kadri is a first line center now that he's training with Roberts.


Right UG?

First line center. He's training with Gary Roberts.

Clearly means he's going to put up 80 point seasons now.

Word for word, exactly what has been said.

I'm all for trying, but lets jettison some of this dead weight so there's room for all of our Marlies graduates.

He picks up the entire tab for his team at Chesswood Arena (or at least he used to).

So he'd load up his team with guys waaaaaaaaay above his level of play.

still does...

you play at Chesswood Wedgie?

Realistically, Lombardi is the only one who might get the Finger; Jeff, Finger.

So i heard Kadri is working out with Gary Roberts and everyone is labeling him the next Great one.

Connolly will probably be our 13th forward or IR all year. Or have a great year, get resigned long-term, only to Gomez it for the next 7 years with a NMC.

That is precisely what is happening. We're trying to create new and exciting ways to create the most insurmountable expectations. Please, join us.

Yup.

I don't see him getting signed long term nor do i see a great year from him since there really is no room for him in the lineup unless Carlyle and Burke want to go with a lineup like this.

Kessel JVR Lupul
Mac Grabo Kule
Frattin McClement Bozak
Lombardi Steckel Connolly

Then we could call us the Wimpy Leafs instead of the Maple Leafs.

Nah. UG thinks he's a first line center because he's training with Roberts.

Hasn't he been on the Roberts Training program for 3 years?

Connolly will probably be our 13th forward or IR all year. Or have a great year, get resigned long-term, only to Gomez it for the next 7 years with a NMC.

As nice as it would be to bury Connolly, I doubt they will. Chances are they still hope he can be the center they wanted when they signed him.

Hey I like that. Lombo and Connolly as 4th liners - they'll both be on IR for the year after about 5 games

and if not, there's always the press box.

Both Connolly and Lombardi are in contact years and will exceed expectations.

Both will be dealt at the trade deadline for decent returns.
