Could Troy Bodie fill Kules roll? Seems like Carlyle wouldnt mind that.
- lotempio8119

Not likey...but that sounds like a very Carlyle type of Roster decision.

Bodie could replace Clarkson

kuli is going to cost 4+

there will be enough market wide interest to drive the price up that high
- Dozzer

If he hits the market sure.


But I dont think he will cost the leafs that if he is in their plans.
3.5 max.

thats very telling
- senstroll

you do realize 4 is only a 1.2million dollar raise for kuli right?

olympian used in a 3rd line role.. former 30 goal guy when given top 6 plus PP minutes..

if his agent cant get him at least 4 as a UFA then he should be fired.

depends.. i say move him if he is playing 3rd line minutes.. he plays with no physicality (or next to none) and that just doesnt fit with carlyle's approach.

might as well get a nice lil return for him.. anything is a plus since we signed him for nothing.

Mason Raymond is a Beast in sheep's clothing.

Get him 4 in the K. Not in the NHL.

- Fakepartofme

his agent wont let him sign for that..

meh.. we'll see.. i am sticking to my guns that kuli gets 4 plus.

yet clarkson can get 5 and a quarter with damn near identical stats?

yeah.. sorry.. you guys are under-valuing kuli

Not sure why I need to realize that.

My point is you are saying many teams would value him ... but not the leafs

Based on your analysis Nonis should be fired based on the clarkson deal

Not likey...but that sounds like a very Carlyle type of Roster decision.

- senstroll

I'm on the fence with Bodie. Is this really him as a player? Or is he playing out of his mind because his pop-in-law runs the show here? Will he taper off?

If he can be consistently what he is now, he is an excellent 4th line option that can move up to 3rd in a pinch. Him alongside McClement on the 4th is a pretty solid possession duo that can provide energy and time in the offensive zone (as we have seen).

Not a Kulie replacement, but I definitely think he is an Orr/FML replacement

Bodie is a taller CHEAPER David Clarkson. Never gonna happen tho

That is true.


But so did the rest of team.
- Fakepartofme

Good God what a choke job. Not blaming kessel, though, I thought he did show up, one of the few who did.

No, we just don't want to make the same GIANT mistake made on Clarkson, is all..

its strike one in my books thats for sure.

hence why i am on the trade kuli train and have been for awhile

No no...just overpaid for Clarskon.

Clarkson has intangibles that Kuli doesnt.....isnt that what the clarkson fans were saying in the off season......what you pay for clarkson cannot be found on a stats sheet.

i think they are fine with taylor hall for that particular year
- Dozzer

We're fine with all of the years.

kuli's agent has that on a queue card with clarksons name scratched out and kuli's name inked in

We're fine with all of the years.

i only went off what i was sure of off the top of my head

it was meant to be complimentary

thats about enough of this.

its a little too soon.
- Dozzer

To be fair, doctors think he's going to get it back. Just the swelling pushing on the nerve, (frank)ing things up.


So... we gotta act fast.

trying to find reason on HB will drive you insane

i was trying these last couple months and it just turned me into a giant bumhole.

i've since backed off on it and i feel a lot more relaxed again.
