I'm thinking maybe Pat Quinn. Just because I could drink beers with him and ask him about Leafs and hockey. I couldn't think of any athlete that I would have profound things to ask so I just figured pick one that seems nice and can talk a bunch of hockey poop and happens to be dead.

Bill Barilko. Ask him what the heck he was thinkin. Takin a caddy shack plane on a damn fishing trip. Harold Edwin Ballard. Just to say WTF.

Actually you convinced me to change my mind, if I could meet Ballard it would be great, because I could see him burning in hell.

can we off sheet AHLers? example - Jordan Weal - and what would be the compensation? just curious
- poohcrumbs

I think the Leafs should offer sheet some of the Montreal players.
1st time around I would make offer to:
M Bournival 1.1 mill 1 way for 2 yrs (no compensation)
J Tinordi 3.5 mill 1 way for 2 yrs (2nd round for compensation)
I'm sure Montreal will match.

If Montreal matches the next offer sheet would be to:
A Galchenyuk 3.5 mill for 2 yrs

It sucks with both of them.

Remember the night the Leafs did a tribute to Quinn and the subsequent game had all these uncanny instances of his number in the scoresheet.

Why would Montreal waste 3.5 mil on a guy that can't even crack their team?

We know his brother who my kid and some friends to a Leafs practice when Pat was coach. He came back with lots of autographs and a great picture with Quinn. When I asked him what was the coolest thing he said going to Quinn's office. Dad, it had a fridge. And it was filled with beer!

Leafs should have about 10 million in space available after signing Bernier and putting Horton on LTIR.

I wouldn't mind taking a bad contract for a year or two to get a couple assets back.

Bickell + McNeill for a 3rd?

pretty sure Gally wants 4+. to sign an offer sheet with another team, they need to get blown away with an offer.

also I wouldn't even want the leafs to trade their 2nd (30-35th) for Tinordi on an ELC, let alone the risk of having top pay him 3.5 per

We'll be sorry when we are bottom of the league this year in goal scoring.

We won't have anyone top 50 in scoring this year, let alone top 10 like Kessel was a few times.

Soft and out of shape, yes. Defensively terrible, yes. But there are ways good teams use those types of players.

I don't know and neither does anyone else know if this was a good trade, but the skill level of the team just went down big time. I guess that's the plan, I get it, but like Sundin we will miss the elite talent that was Kessel for years.

You should not speak of Kessel and Mats Sundin in the same breath. Shame on you.

We will not miss Phil Kessel one iota during this rebuild.
