You should try driving in Toronto during the first snowfall of the year when 50% of the drivers are seeing snow for the first time in their lives

Dumping Lupul for Yammy Jagger doesn't seem to address long term needs...

Love the enthusiasm / hope...but the latter 2 are far from elite prospects. Again, love the confidence though.

most likely not.. positivity goes a long way...especially with Nylander, and Brown, who is doing just fine with the Marlies in his first year..playing with who...a bunch of bums..

You said "dump Lupul". I took a dump this morning, and I didn't expect anything back from the toilet. Did I miss out?

Yes and he'd be hella fun to watch/mentor our players and might actually put up similar production to Lupul, given how he'd stay healthy and Lupul likely won't.

The Bolland trade was much more of a mistake overall than most will admit.
At the time I was good with it, I somewhat still bought into the leadership stuff.. thought (read hoped) it was actually a thing and would work out.

He came to the leafs with a 3.2 cap hit... that was actually about what he was worth..as we can see..and a good indication of why Chicago was able to let him go, despite scoring a cup winning goal. Bolland has lived off that goal and gotten a reputation as a clutch player with loads of intangibles and leadership. Even though we can see now he is just an average player with no super human leadership clutchiness qualities...he tends to get injured often..which further deflates his value imo. like lupul you are paying 5.5mil for 60 games..



ad to that the fact the leafs bought out Grabo and used up a valuable compliance buyout.. only to have to move 3 draft picks to replace him.

its these compounding errors that make Nonis a terrible GM like you state.. no foresight.. no patience like he preaches he has.. just bad at his job

- senstroll


I still wish we could have seen him play the full year, I think we might have changed our minds. He looked great for the short time he was here. Not fair that he gets kicked by a clumsy 4th line player.

that "58 year old" can still produce better than 90% of our current team..

positivity goes a long way when you have some sort of control.

You can be positive about a job promotion.

How the (frank) does positivity turn nylander into the next pavel bure.

You think that is likely that these 3 prospects are the saviors of this team going forward?

You got a lot to leanr buddy, I know you're young so I will give you a pass. Prsopects rarely turn up.

Think of how many kids are drafted each year... and how many actually make a name for themselves to the extent that you wish?

What a (frank)ing wussy ass society we live in.

Banning toboganning?...

So are we going to ban ski resorts too than? Because you reach a higher top speed and launch from higher altitude.

what a (frank)ing.....joke
