Eh, it's the East. We're good enough to be better than a fringe team.

agree.

carolina is going to suck. same for florida and buffalo. isles are always a mess. ottawa is a budget team. the devils dont look that good. capitals have ovie floating around.

"The Leaf Factor"

You forgot about it.

No matter how good we are. Add 10 losses due to collapse.

Basically. Either that or to make him nut up and make some moves, or he steps in, like Tim used to do.

the leafs management team is so (frank)ed up right now

fixed.

Holland doesn't belong on the 4th. Nylander I'm uncertain will be ready for 2nd line minutes, but he has the confidence and swag for it already.

Bozak and kessel are always together.
Kadri is our second liner.

Gards is staying as well.

O rielly and moulson will never happen.

It's a nice dream through. We'd be MAYBE playoff fringe team.

Oh yes.. Clarkson.

I'm not saying he won't be good... I'm a canadian cheering for a canadain team. And yes, the only exemption in the history of the league is a few years in detroit where they had guys that learned from Yzerman and other great canandians what it means to win. But to my point, even those guys didn't get good until they were older...

wouldnt be surprised if Nylander spends the entire season in the AHL to build up strength and adjust to NA game/rink

Much closer. would be sweet if we got moulson, i doubt it though.

We need a new 4th centre as he's not going to resign.
Bieska said he wanted to be here to thats a shot. Franson for bieska?

I was think Lupul for Beiksa...Umm how about Boyle?

Just seen the interview with RINAT VALIEVS coach.Any one see that on Leafs tv??Kootneys coach has alot good to say about him!!Impresive!

I think that's fair value, but Van will want younger assets in return for Bieksa.

No. Lidstrom, Zetterburg and Datsyuk all got good in their late 20's and all credit guys like yzerman who showed them the way. One team in history wins a cup with a european laden team and now thats what teams want to do?...

This is what I don't get. The people who dislike #3 (me) acknowledge the fact that this guy would fair far better with a meathead that can play the D part of the game better than pairing him with another O minded guy. I've read 2 different views on Polak, one from Simmons who says he can't skate. And one from Shanny/Nonis about his ability to skate. And he's a right handed shot.


The 2 meatheads are on the 3rd pairing and it just seems like it should be spread out a bit.


Then again, I know sweet (frank) all about it.
