No matter what happens..we got a gooder

Good company. Where are McDavid, Stamkos and Strome on that list though?

he isnt (frank)ing crosby ffs

you need to stop listening to your own opinions and listen to what the leafs brass are saying.

they are going to take their time and develop their picks correctly

its going to be much more like the detroit model where the kids spend 3 or 4 years being developed before they are even considered for the big club

about time too

Detroit never drafted top10, let alone top5 in the last 15+ years. so it's comparing apples with pears.

How do you guys see our six d shaking out? Haven't really talked much about that have we?
- mykokes

Rielly Gardiner
Dion Marincin
Polak Hunwick

Brennan










Robidas

I'll take that bet for 100 US$.

In the age of e-transfers, that sounds like a fun bet.

Serious question, does anyone read my posts? I feel so unimportant, on both sides of the argument.

So Percy and Harrington are likely not making the cut.

i am basing my opinion on the slow development model that shanahan and co. have been preaching about

i mean look at this year.. the top 6 seems a lil thin.. but instead of giving nylander a spot on a top 6 wing.. they signed journeymen and are giving guys tryouts

everything the leafs are doing is right in the line with the patient development method
- Dozzer

Yes.

Also doesn't mean he's set in stone guaranteed three years out either.

I'm on board with the patient approach.

oh yes.. 4th line C in the NHL.. thats the place for him

- mykokes

from the Blog I stole it from they do all the 15 draft top picks, they are the closest comp.

So Percy and Harrington are likely not making the cut.

- mykokes

no.. not a chance

they are building the team in the AHL

No matter what happens..we got a gooder




- senstroll

Yup.

So Percy and Harrington are likely not making the cut.

- mykokes

I don't believe so.

you know he's not saying that Bruce. Don't be a master baiter.

nah

late season call ups after the leafs move some at the deadline

Yes.

yeah.. let him dominate junior for a couple years.. learn leadership skills from Hunter (its not all about on ice talent folks), he will get a primary role with team canada at the WJC and likely have good long playoff runs with a strong knights team

QoC doesnt supercede everything else.. too many people cant get that through their thick skulls

you know he's not saying that Bruce. Don't be a master baiter.
- mykokes

well he wouldnt be ahead of kadri holland or bozak at the present time

from the Blog I stole it from they do all the 15 draft top picks, they are the closest comp.








- senstroll

Cool beans! I'm going to take McDavid in my espn bid pool. Last year I took the plunge with TJ and Ekblad. got burned by Taylor Hall of all people though.

well he wouldnt be ahead of kadri holland or bozak at the present time
- Dozzer

In his first season he's playing rw anyways.
You're that confident, but not willing to take the bet..

well he wouldnt be ahead of kadri holland or bozak at the present time
- Dozzer

Maybe next year though. Here's a scary thought, and not saying its going to happen, but what if he looks like our best center in camp this season? or even next? Rielly made the team at 19 because he looked like one of the best d-man. Dammit....why am i posting this-let's focus on other things, how are you doing? Better now? Any results?

nah

late season call ups after the leafs move some at the deadline
- senstroll

Polak only pending Ufa on the blueline.

yeah.... i am hoping that the leafs pull a Bruce Jenner and make some changes
- Dozzer

The regress argument is a very good one. It would be nice to see what type of progress Marner makes this season with Domi, Dvorak gone.

Damn, I wish training camps opened today! I want to see some hockey!

Agreed about not playing bottom 6.


Bozak can gtfo any time now.
- burn

If Bozak puts up similar numbers without Kessel, then there will be a market for him.

That's a pretty big IF though.

never tried it the moose usually run off before i get close enough
