I have no problem with them, they tell it like it is, I respect that.

Exactly.

Yea if Kessel had scored 40 for the Leafs this year,they would get game changers in return

TOOL was against that deal and this

Now that wifey's gone, you and I can tear it up in Coo-buh one of these times.

Would love to. Just got back a couple weeks ago, so its gonna be a few months.

- Landsbergfan

Yes! This one more though. The kessel deal was mostly just about retaining salary and allowing the pens to lottery protect their pick the way they did.

From the prospect tourney I liked joly and skladnichenko more than verhaeghe and brouillard more than Finn. Beck was a fringe nhler that would probably take ice time away from guys like Kapanen Hyman Bailey and soshnikov in the A and one of Gibson Bibeau or sparks had to be moved. At worst it's a sideways move. Not a big deal.

Beck is six month older than
Hyman 23 yo
Bailey 23 yo.....

Leafs traded prospects who wont make the NHL for an NHL player, who the Leafs will flip at the deadline.

Verhaegh or Nilsson was the only real loss. Either way, the Leafs will have some lofty draft positions come next summer - so this is a non-issue.

Beck had more points than Grabner last year. Yeah sure in double the games, but he's four years younger.

Didn't do a whole lot of research on that one

- mykokes

Grabner also has 1.10 g/game in the past four years.

Sure, playing 10 games a season - but hey, we're pulling straws here!

I don't know what this means.

Flip or not - we have to ice a team and not ruin the rookies we have currently playing in the AHL. If anything this trade reinforces this sentiment.

1.10 goals per game

EDIT sorry it's 1.10 goals per sixty minutes... 1.10g/60

For picks they'll use to draft more prospects who won't make the NHL.



Full circle.

1.10 goals per game

How does 8 goals in 34 games equal 1.10 per a game?

ah ok.

- mykokes

Beck wont be able to snag you a 2nd rounder at the deadline.

There's a reason why Grabner is an NHL player and Beck isnt.

ah ok.
- mykokes

Since 2010, Grabner sits 10th in the NHL in G/60 at 1.10, ahead of Phil Kessel (0.99).

So essentially Phil Kessel.
