Carol Schram: Vancouver Canucks: Comparing Trevor Linden's Approach to Brendan Shanahan's Big management moves from the Toronto Maple Leafs invite us to compare the management styles of Trevor Linden and Brendan Shanahan so far.

They're both taking fresh approaches. Thats all that matters.

Booth will score 20 for the Leafs and then sign next summer with the Flames.

Transferred....

That would be ridiculously cheap if you could get it for that price.

I pay 100 for AAA.... but I know prices are normally higher then that... I haven't seen anyone charge more then 140 for at least a couple yrs. The government charging 6$ a gram wouldn't fly for most out of Vancouver.

In the three-plus months since then, Linden has hired a new general manager, new head coach and overseen a big trade and an important draft. The Leafs have mostly spun their wheels, making a couple of small trades and secondary free agent signings while battling to sign their restricted free agents to new contracts

This I thought was funny. The Leafs have mostly spun their wheels. The trouble with the Leafs last year was the bottam six and defense. They did quite well to fix those areas.

I guess we could have made a major trade had one of our major players asked to be traded. Hmm isn't that two in the last two years who begged to leave? Wonder who's next.

Will be interesting to see how TML fans and the Toronto media react to how flakey David Booth is on social media.

@jeffisrael25: The 47-year-old monkey on the Leafs' back; the one thing David Booth cannot kill.

What I think is funny is you coming in here and trying to convince us otherwise. When a cancer asks to be traded you oblige him. Toronto just seems to want our castoffs and then sign their own cancers to long term deals.

At that price, it's a solid gamble.

You guys just need to hire Torts, then you officially will have hit rock bottom.

Not on the ice it wouldn't.

Wow. David Booth and Mike Santorelli, reunited in Big Smoke.

I wonder how much input Kyle Dubas had in the Booth sigining?

Quite a bit IMO. He's a moneyball guy, Booth has solid possession numbers. Nonis could have signed Booth earlier.

At that price, it's a solid gamble.

True. I just enjoying the leaf fans freaking out.

Now what are the marlies players going to think and do.

They can think whatever they want and they can continue developing and maturing for (frank) sakes

I doubt much as it was very recent hiring but you never know.

Ok, it could be just me, but doesn't that look like a younger, slightly leaner Mike Gillis (on the phone - the very first frame) For a second I had to pinch my snout.

Yeah, as a Canucks fan I've laughed my ass off in the past as well when people were getting pissed with the lack of youth in the lineup these past 5-6 years when the team had one of the worst/most shallow prospects pools in the league.
