It's a tad weird. He seems to think either set of fans give a flying (frank) about David Booth.

I mean there's enough ammo against the Leafs than to attack the one signing Leafs fans legitimately couldn't care less about.

I'm gonna miss Booth. At least when we were sucking his extracurricular tweets and activities gave us some enjoyment (at his expense of course).

It's been said before but I really think that Booth was just returning to form at the end of last season. His doctor predicted that it would take a year to fully recover from his ankle surgery. Booth will most likely earn his salary for Tor but I doubt he will do as well as Raymond did. If he stays healthy 15-20 goals is my prediction.

Booth is going to outscore Kessel, which will start a debate amongst Leaf fans about buying out Clarkson so they can extend Booth to 6mil for 5 years. Booth will be injured at training camp the next year and never play another game, and Nonis will still not be fired.

I think nonis is on his way out. I think the Dubas hire signals the end of nonis. Last year for him.

I agree, but I don't see them turning over the most valuable team in the league to a 28 yr old kid.

A look behind the scenes as Canucks management ironed out the details of the Ryan Kesler trade, and the team re-signs two members of the Utica Comets.

Dubas' insider is Gillis. He's his advanced stats love child.

Don't totally knock it - it did earn 2 president's trophies, a game seven and of course a riot. He made some bonehead signings and made jack gordon look like a talent whiz (for those of you who are gen xers see the cam neely trade).

He'll help the leafs get to the dance but shanahan's no nonsense player approach will have the bigger impact. Don Cherry will have a permachub every coaches corner with shanny sitting a few seats away.

Any GM who completely dismisses possession numbers will make mistakes and get bent over consistently.

Dubas was a damn good hire by Shanny.
