I admit his style and skating could make it look worse than his actual value on the ice

Who pulled the trigger on this deal Lou Babs Dumbas or Lemairre

My money is on Babcock, the coach. The first coach in history to pull off a trade without his seniors knowledge.

I'm not sure

We traded a higher pick for more picks and then trade 5 prospects for Grabner?

Grabner going to play or bring us back better than those 5?

I can't see it

- Garnie

I think the hope is Glencross, Grabner,Boyes and Seto will

Just because someone is young doesn't mean they are a "prospect".

I guess - I thought a couple of those guys were high picks with some potential....I can't wait to get hammered on opening night.

Good wheels but the spat of injuries and groin surgeries have zapped some of that speed but he is a good PK guy who can probably get you 15 goals if he stays healthy and that's a big if

but somehow magically the "prospects" the leafs will obtain in the future by flipping all their 1 year mid level and over the hill players will be better?

I'll be posses if these guy's on 1 year deals actually put in a good shift and we end up picking up points.

Honestly I don't care enough to continue this convo any longer. Nobody on the isles board has issues with just about any other leaf fan then you. I've had no problem with anybody other then you on here today so you draw the conclusion. I don't know what else to tell you

Looks like it's a gamble they are willing to take.

YES

allows the leafs to sign a couple PTOs.. they play well.. they get flipped for picks (notice the leafs didnt trade any of those), flip the one year guys who played their asses off all season to re-prove themselves for more picks, which allows dubais and hunter to restock using their criteria

these guys are burke and nonis picks.. you cant possibly think that the new management group likes every one of them?

and there is nobody they moved who is a shoe in for the NHL.. and they were all down the depth chart for leafs prospects anyways.

solid move.

I have more faith in Hunter's analysis of talent than the previous regime. (Until I'm proven wrong and it turns out he's gone completely (frank)-up) which will most likely happen
