Does babcock still want to coach Phaneuf?

More prospects would be nice... and make a killer Marlies team next year.

- TheMussel


I think Phaneuf may be the guy who's around at the start.

Before Babcock my guess was Kessel stayed and Phaneuf was the one dealt. I was wrong.

For people whining about the size of Leafs draftees this year, they should check out next year's draft. They're all monsters.

I'm gonna go with Kadri or Bernier.
- Bigzby


I think Bernier.

Kadri is what he is at this point I think. A solid 2nd line center. I don't see why or how they could be douches about him. Simmons will find a way though.

now with Kessel gone, who's the new whipping boy? Phanuef get it all now? Or Reimer? Who's the media going to run out of town next?

I think a Bozak still gets around 50 points with lups and JVR

- LeafsBlueline




I guess who ever deserves it the most...my guess is Phaneuf, he makes the most and is quite bad at his position.

I was away yesterday, what's the general consensus around here regarding the Kessel deal? I'm a little disappointed, but the market bears what the market bears i suppose .

Lups will have to be a point per game guy then. Then what does Blowsack do for the other 32 games Lups is out - guess they'll put Winnik back up there.

I'm happy with Phli's return.

Under the circumstances I think we did quite well.

I'm hoping/predicting that Babcock bumps Blozak off the top line.

I'm tring to figure out our 2nd line wingers - Panik and who? Frattin?

meh, not sure about the return...I think it's more about the departure for Shanny.

yes.
those three guys better be ready in 2016-2017 or 2017-2018 latest.
if not, better trade them.

2013 draft:
mckinnon, barkov, drouin, jones, lindholm, monahan, nurse, ristolainen, horvat, nichushkin.
of that top10, drouin might be only guy who will not be ready for fulltime NHL duties 2015-2016 season (2y after draft), most other guys already played full (and good) season last season.

2014 draft:
next season, some of the 2014 draft class will make their appearences in the nhl lineups; Nylander is a strong possibility to make the Leafs team for sure.

if in 2016, Nylander and Kapanen would not be ready, that's not a good sign.
The 2016 pick, if indeed top5, should be ready 2017-2018 season as well.

So 2 years rebuild, after that those young guys could be ready to go.

- MaximusAurelius



I can see them being ready to make real contributions but it is a stretch to count on them being ready to lead a Cup run. Let the thing cook.

Dion always gets it.

But my guess would be JVR will see a huge spike in Leafs fans/media venom.

You don't think Bozak will be traded...I think he's gone shortly or at least before puck drop this fall.

Then we will just trade down so we can select smaller London Knights.
