One day, you will.

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

Yeah but nobody will amass the hockey knowledge that HonestHockey has.

I mean, he's the one who figured out that Kessel is an all-star winger only when Bozak plays with him!

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

Why do I automatically think of Mrs Freaky whenever I hear "entry level"???

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

- Dozzer


That's fair, the last aspect of his game he needs to work on is his defending and it does need to be better.

He's improved vastly over the course of his time in Toronto. What makes you think that will change?

It could just be a tool to give prospects more time to practice at an NHL level. I don't think he sticks, but I am curious to see how he stacks up against NHL forwards.

The preseason games are not a real indication of competition and readiness for NHL. Perhaps he gets sent down, maybe not.

Kind of interesting that RC and Nonis haven't gone along with your thinking on this one.

see thats the thing

i dont think he has.

last year he was a bottom pairing d-man playing against third and fourth lines

lets see how he fares against better offensive players before we decide to put him up on a pedestal.

I honestly thought Cormier would amount to more.

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.
- A_Tree


Well it's just more evidence that he's a good player, you can say a guy is good because he had one good year but that's not really proven, but when a guy has a couple, or a few you can start to feel even more comfortable about him, get the feeling that "yeah, this guys the real deal".

I like him too, I think he's going to be a beast for us, hopefully for a long time.

i understand what its for.. it just annoys me

what if the kid gets exposed over his lil tryout and it hurts the leafs coming out of the gate?

there is more at stake here than simple player development
