It's funny how we roll here in Leaf land.

We spent forever female doging about Gardiner a couple of months ago, the Phanuef took on a whole 6 weeks himself, now we are on to Kadri. I think it would be more simple for people to name the couple of players they acutally like on this team, and then just slag the rest off as a group. Kinda like a class action law suit thing. Who's next????

I reckon Lupul will be next.

No it is for sure not, but I can see where you get that form.

players I would have wanted to wait and see before I sign long term big money
- Subban
- Kadri
- Yakapov
- Seguin

Many others do not have the same risk for me, but many don't have the same rewards as well....
- SgtSerge

And there you go.

Subban should have been signed long term when they had the chance. It was obvious to everyone and anyone that while Subban had flaws, he had all the tools to be a very good player. He was clearly the future of that teams defense. Dont get me wrong, as a Leaf fan, Im glad they're going to have to pay him more now.

Who says the Habs have been great?
Marred with injuries all year
Allowing minimal goals is key
They have given up 29 fewer goals than the leafs
- MTL1

Key to being 4 points ahead in the standings.... lol

I would like to see half points. or points weighted towards reg wins
- senstroll

they sort of already are. The ROW column is the 1st tie breaker. This is basically like saying that reg/ot wins are worth 3 points, but the extra point is just in a separate column. This also allows the W/L stats to be more consistent with historical numbers.

I agree, the bridge deal for Subban made sense as new management needed to be sure his head was at the right place before giving him a long term contract.

I don't care if we'll pay him more than we would have. It was the right thing do to.
- Scabeh

The only person who has really proved himself on that list of Subban, Seguin is looking more and more mature, and Kadri is at least with the big club now

2 points for reg win
1 point forOT/SO win
0 points for loss

Thoughts?
- SgtSerge

something like that, although I think winning in OT should be worth more than SO

2 points for reg win
1.5 point for OT
1 point SO win
0 points for loss

2 points for reg win
1 point forOT/SO win
0 points for loss

Thoughts?
- SgtSerge

You need games to always be worth the same amount of points.

The problem with your system is that some games will give out 1 point total and others will give out two, just like the current system where games can give 2 points to a team or 3 total in case of a SO/OT win.

The NHL should go with a system of:

3 points for reg win - 0 for regular loss
2 points for OT/SO win - 1 for OT/SO loss.

That way every game is worth the same amount.

Either that or bring back the (frank)ing ties.

I'll raise your Lupul and see you a Clarkson.

- SgtSerge

Pretty sure Seguin is a sure thing now.

He's dominating with Dallas.

Yakupov is only 18.

He needs to go back to the left wing. Not nearly as effective on the right side for some reason.

And there you go.

Subban should have been signed long term when they had the chance. It was obvious to everyone and anyone that while Subban had flaws, he had all the tools to be a very good player. He was clearly the future of that teams defense.
- systemtool

IMO only 1/4 25% have proven they are worth the risk, and should have been signed earlier in hind sight. The others, everyone has been better to wait.

I'll raise your Lupul and see you a Clarkson.
- AdamFrench

Lupul is injured and ripping on Clarkson is too easy.

The NHL should go with a system of:

3 2 points for reg win - 0 for regular loss
2 points for OT/SO win - 1 for OT/SO loss.

- Scabeh

This makes more sense.

Habs still have the opportunity to do so.

And while his talent was never questionned, I really liked the fact they made sure Subban wasn't too much of a hothead to commit to long term.

They managed the whole in a safe way. Yes they'll end up paying him more than they would have, but it's a safe bet now unlike 2 years ago.

Damn time flies.

This makes more sense.

Also works, as long as every game gives the same amount of point, it works.

It was an expensive safe way. Im still not sure they wont try to low ball him again.

I honestly don't see how they could.

They will he is still an RFA but I think he has arbitration this time.

Anyone know?

so far this year gardiner and now kadri
last year gardiner and kadri were the future
how bout you guys give the young guys the benefit of the doubt in that theyll return to form before you throw them under the bus...
this time next yeat it will be holland and rielly that you want gone
what a joke of an organization

its all speculation people, relax

these guys get paid to stir the pot.

I'll raise your Lupul and see you a Clarkson.
- AdamFrench

I think Clarkson has kinda been done. It's going to be an ongoing thing. I think we will viciously turn on Lupul before we really crank up the heat on Clarkson

He needs to go back to the left wing. Not nearly as effective on the right side for some reason.
- vermie22

Trade him. I'm going to pic a player on a different team that has nearly identical stats than Lupul, getting paid a lil bit more and play the grass is greener role.
