i think our prospect pool in underrated. Defence especially. We have one of the best D prospect pools in the league. Finn Percy, Loov, Valiev, Nilsson, Granberg and Everson all have legitimate shots at being serviceable NHLers. Finn and Percy could be 3/4's

I don't know, outside of Rielly I don't see much in the way of exceptional potential. Most of the D will be 2nd pairing at best, like you said, and Nylander may be the only forward prospect with 1st line potential if he puts it all together. I like the prospect pool, but it needs more talent.

Agreed. Just like you had the best dcore in the East a few years ago. Remember that?
Good times.

I'm happy for the leafs. They were due for a break!


Enjoy having a great coach!

We finally have something to cheer for. The past 10 years, its been kinda hard... This is why I've always liked you..

They were the only Canadian team that had nothing to be happy about this year... Till now!


Everyone wins!

We have NHL talent, just not high end talent outside of Nylander and whoever we pick this year. We could gain to hit on a few late round picks, that's for sure!

I don't actually! Refresh my memory!

Enjoying all the butt hurt about the leafs throwing money around.

Since Shanny took over, its like the Leafs suddenly woke up and realized holy (frank), we're rich.. Let's spend some money.

I have to agree with him, the Leafs D-core in 1967 was solid top to bottom

Nice move by the Leafs.

Oh nah they were spending it... They just decided to think about what they are spending it on for a change

Yep. Tis a process. Babcock is just another piece that hopefully builds us a winner eventually.

Nice move by the Leafs.

Dude that's Tampa... Get a new TV

Many an analyst told us that after the fresh acquisitions of Beuachemin and Komi to go with Dion

I think Finn's still got a high ceiling. He was stifled and misused... And injured. Going to get big minutes next year.

I like to watch Tampa games and take off my glasses, with their blue and white it looks like the Leafs are in the playoffs, with good players. And every time they say tampa or the lightning I just go lalalalalalalala

We just won in OT !!,

Shanahan is inexperienced and doesn't know what he's doing.... Or something along those lines.

Yeah,just keep beating that horse, like you knew all along.

That Alexander Dergachev pick at 24 on Draftsite doesn't seem so bad at the moment!
