Did Jeff Finger die or something?
- Stee-Dot

Retired

I may be the first to say this, but I could see Raymond replacing Clarkson on that 2nd line role - he looks fast, good hands, goes into corners, doesn't get hit around, and gets the puck to the net.

what an incredible 1million dollar addition.

Leafs will want that physical element and grit in the top 6. It will be too soft without Clarkson, which is why they over paid to get him. Leadership also plays a factor. Id be shocked if that happened. Leafs have speed up front, they need the grit more.

well .. i hope you're right

not overly confident about it tho

What's with the Franson hate? He's a decent defender, he played well in Nashville, I personally think he's an ideal second pairing guy. You can't argue his offense, and maybe I'm off base but I seen a pretty big improvement in him defensively last year. He started using his size effectively in my opinion. I'd like to see him do it over a full year but I like the guy, and he wants to play here.

I doubt for the full season though.

I can't see them paying 5.25 for a 3rd-liner.

I think he got a brain-scrambling concussion and retired...

Will be interesting if there is Chemistry in the first 10 games on that 2nd line without clarkson.

Clarkson could find himself on the 3rd line if that's the case.

5.25 million for 3rd line player would hurt. Clarkson hasn't impressed yet. I really hope he was just trying to do too much and when the season starts he starts showing his worth and value.

I know he's a good player. I just haven't seen what he adds yet. Kulemin was much > in the pre season.

Let's not start to get down on guys over a few preseason games. This is typical Leafs fan stuff.

Yeah, understood, but to pay a guy $2,900 not to play for you and potentially mess around with a blue chip prospect is not something I agree with.

oh.. i think rielly should be put on a plane to moose jaw today.. that much i agree with.

liles.. cap crunch.. plain and simple.

Has anyone played State of Decay on the Xbox? If not, it's a must try. Only $20 and it's loads of fun.

He is playing well in Toronto. Why do we constantly revert back to his trade origin? He's great, I love the guy. So happy to see him again this season.

Omg I wish I knew as much about the Leafs as all you guys

Bro, Bozak will turn Ashton into a top-tier winger. Now look at my laughing smiley face and realize I am right:

decent defender: not really

nashville: was sheltered from tough opposition

if he continues to use his size good. he needs to improve consistency before i get all smitten with him tho

this is how you treat a middle of the pack team

- Dozzer

I'd like that too, I don't mind giving him a look if he's on the cusp but he still needs another year, and 10 minutes a night probably won't be all the beneficial. I think he had a pretty good sample and knows what he needs to do to improve. He played 6 games right?

One day, you will.

If you're lucky, you'll also become almost as good at sarcasm as I am...

These 9 game tryoutwhateveryoucallit, is pure nonsense. Just make a decision and roll with it from the start.

Why not let him play his 9 NHL games? He had a solid camp.

yeah i think so.

nonis already said he has to get 12-15mins a night for him to be willing to let him stay.

Open world concept (zombie style) where you play as a number of different survivors. You must establish a home base and run scouts to find food, guns, medicine and other supplies (building..etc). When people get sick, they might die. If you get hurt (break your leg) you have to rest and you may not fully recover. The game works in real-time. For instance, I haven't played in two days - so I may log and find out someone has died, or they found a new source of food etc...
