With Stone going to Cgy, have to think Hamilton or Wideman will be dealt somewhere...

Wonder what the asking price for Hamilton is....could be interesting.

I have to get this over from the last thread:

How to lose out in the first round 101:
Play martin and gauthier as your second or third line. Two guys that constently get out attempted when theyre on the ice.
- ClarksonDavid

You realise that Martin gets 65% of his zone starts in defense, and Gauthier over 70%, right?

Now think that piece of information over a bit, and then get back to me whether either you or Babcock is better at understanding hockey...

Well given that neither of those play on the second or third line, I'm not seeing your point...?

Sad but true...trade for futures and miss the playoffs.

Hopefully they can make the trades and sneak in...just for a couple weeks of fun.

They need a defenseman, might as well do it now.

I was making the point that Komarov-Martin-Gauthier line could be played more in (hypothetical) playoffs vs regular season, depending on how a game would develop (ie more minutes for that line due to a lead for Leafs)

Martin gets 38% Dzone starts and Gauthier gets 47% but who's counting.

Regardless...they need to get the (frank)ing puck out...that's why we have the 4th line C...win the draw...get it out. Not lose the draw and watch the shots pile up.

Not complaining about the player...cuz I like Martin and think he's of use while many don't...but he won't be playing 2nd line/3rd line mins I don't think.

Garnie I'm reading 65% and 72% at hockey reference..

I was just looking at TOI; Martin was played 2-3 mins more in NYI than in TOR, so not sure whether Babcock is really that much of a favorite of him, or that it's just bc the other players on his line are not good enough (for Babcock) to give them more toi.

Should be able to beat the Peg now that the great Trouba is out of the line up...

I wonder what the cost would be to acquire Cody Franson. Trading Polak and bringing Franson back would really shore up the depth on D.


Yes b'y...

This...

We need an improvement on the blueline to make the playoffs.

I like Zaits and Rielly but they are a combined -22...

Hopefully marner gets back in the lineup tomorrow too.
