Nikita Soshnikov

(frank). First rule to Leafs club, no speaking of Clarkson or Biggs

*drops a $20 in the jar*

Kadri might not even report to camp.
- LeafsBlueline

Doesn't need the money?

Took up a new sport?

Isn't he under contract?

Parenteau is (frank)ing brutal. No matter what the analytics say about him.

He's very good in the shootout, though.

Thanks for crushing our hopes and dreams (frank)er. He's our top line winger next season

Did Pittsburgh want Biggs, or did we make them take him?

Saw this yesterday

Kessel 6' and 202lbs - Fat
Crosby 5'11" and 200lbs - Not fat?

also beats Seguin in All star game fastest skater

He'll score a few in the first half of the season and get you a 2nd round pick at the deadline. It's all good.

The Leafs COULD kinda be like Ottawa and play better than expected. No playoffs but better than we all expect. Who knows?

They called about Biggs. Shanny said they'll only move him if Pitts took Kessel as well

Auston Matthews RW USNTDP U18 6' 2" 194

Crosby's weight is in his legs (they're huge), Kessel's is in his gut.

would be nice. But i think the marlies need the playoff revenue more than the Leafs need 28th place.

I understand what you are saying - only thing is that the last time the Red Wings drafted top 10 in a draft was 1991 (Martin Lapointe, #10).
I don't agree the Red Wings model was a 'choice' - it was basically their only option (players drafted later normally take longer to develop to be ready).

Lapointe's first full nhl season was in 1993-1994 as well; 2 years after drafted..

Datsyuk? drafted in 98, first season 2001-2002 (3 seasons after drafted).
Zetterberg? drafted in 99, first season 2002-2003 (3 seasons as well).

Not sure whether their contracts with European teams were the issue for them not making the team earlier either.

In addition to this, with league changing from more physical to more skill, it's easier for younger guys to make NHL at 19/20y.
- MaximusAurelius

Just not sure he's ready to be in the NHL, and do we want him to be there in a year where we expect to finish near the bottom?
