I can see a shorter Robidas cut. I expect them to start wearing the same clothes as well.

And you can't double shift him at the end of important games or he does something stupid and costs the team a goal.

You talking about 9 million Subban?

I think he just needed some help. The other top dogs in the league rely on their partners and forwards as well. Dion's had poop to play with. Don't get me wrong, he drives me crazy, but I'm hoping some of Robidas rubs off on him.
- Woderwick

Told you guys back in July, Robidas will be your best dman this year.

That you are a man of fine taste
- lumlums

Whew!!!

I hope for you Leafs find a way to trade him. I really do.
- fidopro

Why trade our best d man? Especially after we finally acquired another d man that can play quality top line mins.

Doughty played with a 26 year old undrafted rookie.
Hedman played with a corpse named Salo
Subban played with the human zamboni Gorges
Suter played with a sophomore half the season and a nobody the rest


A lot of the top guys have not so loving partners.

According to dobber, Gardiner will score 45 points this year.
- Scabeh

5 more points than Kontiola

All better the one hip gunnarson though.

I have no doubt about that at all...health is the only issue, and even at that he'll be valuable to them as a mentor to Dion as corny as that sounds.

Still, would make sense to expect Phaneuf to help out his less talented friend instead of being dragged down by him.

Markov turned Komisarek into a valuable asset ffs!

And, Subban into a Noris winner.

Wait till you see how bad gunner will be this year then come back and tell me that.

EDIT: he made Kostka seem like a decent NHL defenseman in the short season, you know the guy that can't seem to even make a bottom pairing guy on other NHL teams.

IMO, you cannot win with Dion as your #1 dman. As simple as that.
Look at teams who won the cup recently

LA - Doughty
CHI - Keith
BOS - Chara

yes they all have a better dcore than TOR, but they also have a much better #1 dman.

Just my opinion

So he needs a good vet to play with and his minutes cut back.
That's your 7M #1 dman you're talking about yes? Yikes!
- fidopro

When he is expected to play in every situation and 25+ a night, why is it such a bad thing to bring it down to get more out of him?

can we have English next time?
- the_eye

(frank) you...right in the eye.

It was all English...just....wrong English.

asset...what you guys get for him?
- Garnie

Well if you count wasting 5M of the Leafs cap space as something.....

But yeah, Nothing.

So, if someone wrote that on the Chi blog, about Keith, would they be considered a troll ? but thanks for informing the Leafs fan bases of how terrible out #1 d man is..

On behalf of all, we appreciate this.

Gave us plenty of laughs throughout his Leaf career. Almost worth the $5 Mil.

Some how I don't think it was just them that made their teams win the cup. They also had better coaching, better depth and arguably better goaltending. Theoretically when the leafs are competing for a cup Reilly will be the number 1 d man and Phaneuf the number 2.

Keith?...Keith has Seabrook. The other 2 I agree with...not many teams have players of that calibre..and even the teams that do ( Webber ) are not that good either
