If I were the leafs I would target the Isles as a destination for Kessel. They have cap room and could use a good winger to play with Johnny Tavares and have some blue chip D prospects.
To Islanders- Cheeseburger Phil
To Leafs- Griffin Reinhart

went to see the 67's vs. Owen Sound in January. First time I caught a junior game.

Honestly, the game experience is 10 time better than any NHL game.

10 rows from the ice for $15, non-stop action, lively crowd, no ads blaring at 500dB every second, excellent game but BY FAR the biggest difference: no TV timeouts. unbelievable how much these bog down the flow of the game and you kind of only notice it when you're at a game that doesn't have them.

Totally agree. You have to be rich or foolish to try to take your family to an NHL game.

You were saying ur a scout last night... I don't believe you... you always quote the main sites for your information.... just sayin...
- orienbrady22



I have my credentials so you can say what you want... you are entitled to your false accusations.

I haven't done scouting work in quite some time but its like riding a bike you never forget how to do it. I watch a lot of hockey at pretty much all levels and know what to look for when watching players.... the only thing I can't really do is interview them to get a sense of their intellect and where they are mentally!

I'm also a personal trainer and my educational background is in Kinesiology! So I know quite a lot about sports, the human body and how things work.... which helps me when it comes to scouting and developing an athlete. I've worked with a lot of people from all sorts of fitness levels and I know what people can be capable of

If it sounds like I am copying or restating other websites on player profiles.. then that's probably because we agree on a player. These things tend to happen from time to time... who would of thought that eh!?!?!?!

Also someone asked me last night about a player I did not know... remember what I said.. probably not.. I didn't lie I told him I knew little about him and asked him what he thought of the player... guess that goes against what you said about me restating what I read about payers on other websites....

Just saying!!!

I don't, he's overpaid, overhyped, and thats it... People want him cause there's nothing else going on, I'm tired of settling for others leftovers... But lets take other teams then... He's certainly not playing ahead of Getz or Kesler, He's a 2nd in Arizona, He's 3rd behind Hudler and Monahan in Cal, he's a 2 in Chicago, a 3 in Dal, he might be a number 1 in Edmonton which is quite an accomplishment, number 4 in LA even Taffoli is better, I guess La better be ready for a 7 million dollar hit for Taffoli.... I could do this all day....

you said he would barely be 2C on half the teams in the league. Which means you think he isn't even 2C on half the teams in the league... unless I am misunderstanding you, or that's a typo.

14 teams dont make it. 8 eliminated in first round.. nashville having best record if they are eliminated first round would take us to the 22 spot... 14+8=22
- orienbrady22

Nope. First two round losers are combined and based on regular season records are ranked from 17 through 26. If Nashville finishes first overall (President's Cup), best they can finish is 26th.
