Mike Augello: Meeting in Manhattan About Carter??

carter for another 10 years or colborne?

give the kid a chance

As long as the price is decent yeah.

I don't know what to think anymore...

It is now 10 hours since it happened.......... I am still in shock

The Leafs have a few problems.

First and foremost, the goaltending we have is not gong to do it. We need immediate goaltending help.

The defense continues to struggle at times during the game getting the puck out. Can't pinpoint if this is a problem with the D struggling to clear it, or for the forwards not cyclying back deep enough and winning those board battles.

Nonetheless.......... 10 hours, I am still in shock.

Dear God in heaven, I see the playoffs slipping away. I have forgetten what a playoff game with the Leafs looks like. Please God... help my beloved Leafs

That would be a bad move, but iam a sens fan so go for it BB All joking aside i know you guys need a center but how much better is this guy compared to grabo??

uh.. Carter. Colborne is 2nd line center material.

Hopefully we have no part in Nash if the believed asking price is true.

Carter could be a good fit for the right price. Alot of the criticism revolves around his contract length as it should, but the cap hit is very reasonable (5.2). Especially compared to what we may have to potentially pay grabovski (5?).

As far as chemistry goes, I actually see it being a good fit. Sure Kessel has a tremendous shot, but his passes lately have been just as lethal. Maybe Carter won't be feeding Kessel, but Kessel feeding Carter. Now throw in Lupul to clean up the garbage and we have ourselves a dangerous first line.

Definitely a deal for Burke to consider. Especially if the new upcoming CBA allows an amnesty if need be..

I don't know what to think anymore...

I'm with you...I am completely lost...IMHO the coaching is a cluster f#@$...offesnsive defensemen cant free wheel cuz they are afraid...forces them to be defensive which is not their strength...goalies are coached to stay deep...forwards are getting pushed around...meanwhile Wilson says after a loss he thinks it was their best game...start with the coach and move from there..

I Love Grabo, but let's be realistic here. Carter has always been a force and is younger than Grabo...

can carter keep soft goals from going in?

cause thats the leafs problem.

no faith in either goaltender.. and rightfully so.

- Boosinicka

fair enough but he still needs a chance...he cant hurt and in the short term he has the size Bozak doesnt..

I'd rather have Carter anyway: we need to improve at centre not wing. Kessel-Carter-Lupul sounds good to me.

what happened to building from the net out?

Dozzer, I need someone to watch me today............ I don't know what I may do

- Popcorn Kid

this this this

get a damn goalie burke

the leafs are top ten in scoring.. the problem is keeping the puck out of their own net.

last night.. 3 soft goals.. leafs lose 4-3

those goals dont go in, the leafs win

hell.. the OT goal wasnt even on net!! gus defflected it into his own net

I Love Grabo, but let's be realistic here. Carter has always been a force and is younger than Grabo...
- Boosinicka

Too much risk with that deal.Sign grabs move out some deadwood vets and let the kids play.Carter isnt the player that will lead this team to the promise land and with that contract Patiance is key it will get better

what do you think?

would it be enough? Or too much?

The complaint about Carter is his contact! Personally I think 5 mil is a bargain, and the length just makes it get better and better! My concern is his attitude, and nothing more! We could defiantly use him! Also, love Grabovski but not at 5.5!! Take the prospect and pick!!

Theres a good chance that we lose Grabo for nothing... Why not swing something to land Carter?Esspecially considering the rumoured price for Grabovski.. $5m? $5.5m? I don't know.. Swing a multi player trade including Mason. Maybe the kid just needs a change?

it will be okay man.. the jets (frank)ed up too

thing is.. if the leafs were gonna slump they picked the right time to do it.. because everyone beneath them is slumping (or too far out) too.

they grabbed a point last night.. need to rebound and beat the sharks tomorrow.

burke should be asking about nabakov.... he really should

Things are not looking good on the Grabo front... In 2 weeks, the reported asking price has gone from 4 to 4.5-5... And now we are hearing 5.5/yr.. Yikes! Give me carter for that price... Anyday!

Grabo has been good, but not lights out.. Either he is hot, or cold...

Nash. No thanks. That is a serious price tag. Lindros type price... Not a chance.

what do you think?

i am always hesistant getting goalies who thrive in defensive systems.. halak didnt do much til hitchcock arrived, and he did well in montreal

its sort of like bryzgalov in philly.. once he was taken out of tippet's trap system.. he was easily exploited.

Personally, I couldn't see them moving Halak anytime soon. This is Elliots first really good season.. before this year he was back and forth from the AHL

not enough, they would trade elliot before halak
and as for carter he would be a complete upgrade
as long as he comes cheap
