Babcock to Toronto would be very interesting.
- MJL

I always thought that's where he'd go -- could still be wrong, but that always made more sense to me than some of the pundits

alot of russians from hfboards said this dude makes alot of mistakes and is on the decline. Better not be getting 3.5 a year

Giroux and Amac for Kessel and Phaneuf?

I just threw up in my mouth a little.

If you can't trust a Russian on a HFBoard, you just have societal breakdown.

So TO hired a coach BEFORE they hired a GM, eh?

AMac UmBurger Rhino Gudas

Yep -- just like we were saying yesterday. He's gonna have all the sexy parts of the job as far as who he gets to bring up, send down and move, and somebody else is gonna do all the heavy lifting

Thank you

Well the GM gonna be a second banana to ShenaBan anyway

What could possibly go wrong?


muahahahahahahaha

I'm guessing that Gudas is going to the Phantoms, if he's not traded by September. His intensity could really help Haag, if they're paired together.

Needless to say, both blue lines are looking crowded right now and some moves need to be made

To this point of his career, Del Zotto has been an average PP defenseman, while Striet is one of the best in the league.
- MJL

Also, Del Zotto hasnt been a top unit PP guy to this point in his career. Hard to really be anything more than average there.

My guess: The GM in TO is gonna be a Capologist and manage the scouting department/draft, more than likely.

I'm guessing Babcock is gonna get some clout to clean that lockerroom out.

So, that will make the GM the third banana in this particular hierarchy.

If I'm not mistaken, Del Zotto had plenty of PP icetime while with the Rangers.

Also quite of age and experience gap between MDZ and Streit.......I hope MDZ stays adds some solid offensive depth in the back end.

alright Im trying to find something here:

the #7 hit is Medvedev: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0oLUE883ejY

Yep -- just the way that's wired to be set up

10 years in Detroit...time for him to move on

Completely different MDZ from then and now.

Oh ya and here's an acting job by him at the worlds this year.. It picked up some controversy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=29&v=Ob7w1bl1jfQ

I get the feeling they're going to do GM by committee.

- WarriorHockey21

He did not look impressive at all on the Flyers PP last season.

Anyone know if Medvedev shoots left or right?

This also makes me think that AMac and at least one, if not both, of Grossmann and Schenn are gone.

The leafs blog kinda EXPLODED
