On TSN radio this morning, Bob McKenzie was saying that he thinks Justin Faulk is the Leafs target

Faulk makes a lot of sense really and he’s likely available. If the Leafs do nothing it’s a regression. Rielly either gets Hainsey again a year older/slower or Zaitsev.

Faulk isn’t the best case scenario but he’s a top 4 with a good skill set. It will still be the most capable partner Rielly has ever played with. That cap hit could let him slide down to the second pairing say if Doughty should actually become available.

has the US taken over Canada in terms of producing 30 chicken-nuggets-for-a-snack eating mofo's?

Non starter, no Nylander for Faulk. Dubas is high on Nylander.

Agreed. If that reported fire sale in Carolina does happen, we may not need to overpay for him.

because the Leafs are the only ones looking for top 4 D's. Demand dictates the price.

Nylander?

I am not averse to the Leafs trading Nylander, but it would have to be part of a bigger package, including a salary dump, to get a much better Dman than Faulk.

How is Faulk all that much better than Gardiner?

Hoping Dubas is quicker than other GM's in making a deal with Carolina.

Maybe his youth will be useful, he should be quicker than some older GM's.

That is way too serious.

It is almost Hall for Larsson serious, but not quite that serious; seriously.

I think we already established a few days ago that only a younger GM can understand the new rules of the NHL, so maybe he will be faster at dialing phones also.

If the leafs are trading a top line player they should be getting a D that will easily be their best Dman

Faulk aint it

Not sure, how efficient is he with rotary phones? That might come back to bite us. Especially, if there is a short cord attached to the wall mounted phone.

Dear Kyle;

What are your thoughts on rotary phones?
