Canucktard, Oilpatch Doll, Habstard or Sensturd! Flames? They're going up in them!

Dominating these teams would be better to me than making up nicknames that make us feel better TBH.

You are correct. We singlehandedly keep the whole Southeast Division, Nashville and Pheonix afloat, with money from the Leafs Nation. Then the Flyers steal their players, after they develop them, as we sit back as the rape continues.

I know there's no hockey team that could suck like we do and still have the building full night after night

Burke did make one "bad" trade to give unknown assets to get the 6th leading scorer in the league last year

But he gets me off when he said he'll make that trade again even with Seguin in it .... it's like well i would have draft Reilly first overall yeahh sure Burke keep up the Bullpoop

Kessel is one hell of a player dont get me wrong, 82 pts in 82 games is amazing... but we really needed a center and seguin at center would of helped us more than kessel. Especially if we paired seguin with kadri.

Him or Kadri. I could care less about bozak at this point. Carlyle and burke seem very keen on JVR at center and i am on the same boat as well because i believe JVR can be that player to make that transition and be better at center than the wing. Why? Because he was never given the proper chance in philly, philly had too many centers, he even stated he was never even looked at once for center in philly because they had too many centers, and since he played center before philly, i would think JVR is fully capable of making the transition and reaching his full potential. As for my thoughts, he is a player who didnt really progress at a high rate on the wing as a 1st Round Guy despite the fact he sniped 20 goals. Alot of centers snipe 20 goals. Maybe he can reach his potential at center? This is probably another reason why burke made this trade. For his size and his two-way scenario.

I just don't see it working, and Burke said he doesn't see him as a center. But Carlyle wants to give him a try. My issue with him at center is he isn't a playmaker. We have a sniper on that line already. Kadri might work though.

He is the biggest fraud that we've seen since Harold Ballard! Company man, make the profits, to hell with the fans, make some deals, but never get close enough to get competitive and make the playoffs. 8 years and counting, but I hope it end at 9, so we can write off this coming year for the betterment of the year after.

I dont want Lu, he just doesnt fit in our timeline
- peddy-93

Not with our current roster, your right but a couple key moves and someone likeLu fits in over the next 6 years and is worth it, Im not a big Lu fan but a top goalie in the league for a few years if you can turn it around with some trades is worth it.

Training, training to get that spot next year

he's at speedy glass replacing his head

- Mapleleafs_91

It kind of works both ways though, if we had Seguin at center we would need somebody who racks up the goals. Maybe Kadri could be that guy, maybe not.

Not just Seguin .... Dougie Hamilton and Jared Knight are not that bad but Nashville offer the same package so Burke had to match that to get Kessel


At least Edmonton took the always injured Taylor Hall they made the biggest mistake

Yeah, but they come here and insult our intellegence. We have enough of our own fanboy types, that defy any logic that can be ascertained.

I agree i was dreaming he could show some guts at the draft and go Grab Galchenyuk but he failed once again .... how many d-man do we need when the problems are in net and at center

If Burke makes any idiotic trade, because he's out of Irish Whisky, or Holy Wine, he needs to be taken to the gangplank and forced to walk it, until he falls into Boston Harbour.
- PrinceLH

I like the cut of your jib...

Lol he isn't glass, he could still end up being the better player.

- maverickJ

Maybe but a center is always tougher to get than a sniper

Lol he isn't glass, he could still end up being the better player.
- maverickJ

Not sure about that i think Seguin is already better i know i would take him before Hall to build my team but Hall is no poop he can get it arround

He would handcuff us, like Bryzgalov is doing to the Flyers. The Flyers will never win, with him between the pipes. They're also stuck with Prongers cap hit, so they only have a few years of a window to win the Cup. Once all of their younger talent gets to their RFA and UFA years, they're handicapped with Bryz, Weber and Prongers contracts eating up a large chunk of cap space. Why would you want to do the same with the Leafs, and we're not even a playoff team?

Am I the only one who don't want Luongo and his contract arround

I like the cut of your jib...
- SofaKingBored

He could float over to Provincetown. They'd accept him over there.

Lol he isn't glass, he could still end up being the better player.
- maverickJ

yes, but they were so neck and neck at the draft, i would have picked Seguin if i had the 1st overall

Am I the only one who don't want Luongo and his contract arround
- Kuleminator

I want nothing to do with Luongo and his contract...

Not sure about that i think Seguin is already better i know i would take him before Hall to build my team but Hall is no poop he can get it arround
- Kuleminator

I would prefer Hall. Just my opinion though, still too early to say.

- Kuleminator

no

Am I the only one who don't want Luongo and his contract arround
- Kuleminator

Did you read the post. I absolutely don't want Luongo around. He destroys the future. He takes up valuable cap space, costs us assets and wrecks our draft position. To me, that's 3 strikes and there is no upside to this!

yes, but they were so neck and neck at the draft, i would have picked Seguin if i had the 1st overall
- peddy-93

that must explained why they keep picking first

And please Oilers fans stop thinking you can get any player in the league for Hemsky,Gagner and Paarvii it's Ludacris
