Which isn't saying much about either player.

JVR can be quite good... But man did he ever float last season.

didn't you hear, it was all Kessel's fault.

In the offchance Babcock manages to get all the PTOs to overperform and the Leafs squeak in, I'm dying to see the fans lose their heads.

If the PTOS overperform and they use them to sneak into the playoffs instead of trading them for picks/prospects at the deadline, my head will be lost.

I sure hope so.

JVR is 10 times the player Schenn will ever be.

Hard to say D men can be more valuable and Luke is if he played up to his early hype

I really liked the last one. With new gen consoles this one should be pretty sweet. Have they mentioned anything yet about playing as the "heroes"? (Like where you get to become a jedi)

Which Battlefront was the one you played? Would it have been the PC one from 2004 ish? I thought that was great. But no, I haven't really read up on anything. But it looks pretty amazing.

Yea Finn isn't the problem, for me it's mostly Verhaege... Though his numbers didn't really improve this last year of junior, which is a bit of a red flag in itself.

Nilsson had the makings of a tough shutdown defender.


If Grabner lights it up this season, and can be traded for a Winnik-like return, I'm good with it.

- Feeling Glucky?


Nilsson is actually the guy I liked most out of everyone we gave up but he was far enough down the depth chart that it doesn't really matter.

Don't get me wrong. I still want them gone regardless of how close they are period, Bring up the kids like Willie, Mitch, and Connor et al to pick up the slack. How better to develop in a winning enviroment.

No. It's very easy to say.

JVR >>> Schenn.

See? That was easy.

By not throwing your top prospects into a basement dwelling team where they'll be skewered by the media?

I've had to digest and think the trade over.

Nothings changed. Still a brutal deal.

I think Boyes is the only sure thing.
Glencross maybe 50 percent

This may be the most under the radar news of the day.

Chances look good that the most all time discussed piece the leafs gave away from nothing pre rask/seguin is finally coming home where he belongs.

Fine: by not throwing them into a situation where team chemistry is messed up by 4 players leaving, and having the media blame the rookies for the loss of a playoff berth.

"He brings exceptional speed," general manager Lou Lamoriello said. "There's no question that he's one of the top penalty killers in the League. He pushes other people and he pushes the defense back."

Does that help? And is Lou used to lying to NJ fans who don't know much about hockey? Cus I don't even think The President believes that BS.

Yep the old 3rd person one. There is a beta coming for the new one in October but no details yet on how to obtain.

My biggest problem with this new one is that it comes out one week after the new Fallout and I am a HUGE Fallout fan so it might take me some time before I pick up Battlefront.

This trade has a distinct odour about it. None of the guys traded were in the ESPN list of Leaf top prospects, but I still don't like the concept at all.

This doesn't make any sense unless there is a part two still to come

Good idea, price may drop by then. Then again maybe not... GTAV is still $70.
