I always liked Finn and am not sure he got a fair shake here. However from day one I always wondered if he was fast enough for the NHL. Kind of wondered if he would be like a Drake Berehowsky. I would guess none of those players fit the mold of players that management wanted in their system

He put up decent numbers in the ohl
What's the point in trading him away if he didn't even get a shot here

Mike Babcock: "to me watching gardiner he should be a good player. Let's give him a chance, build him up give him confidence"


"Our d are going to be allowed to make some mistakes because our forwards are going to be coming back hard."

Same old same old

Another year another chance

Finn or pto Fraser?

mark fraser didnt make finn expendable, martin marincin did.
Finn was probably the 8th best d-man on the marlies last year. Yeah he was drafted pretty high, but he didn't show much. Valiev will get some real ice time on the marlies because of this trade

Fraser will be traded for 1 of the 31 picks the Leafs will have next draft...

Screw prospects as every team has them... draft picks are way more imp

The guy that the Oilers tossed away..He must be fk'n bad if he wasn't good enough for the Oilers D..

dismiss him before he even gets a chance. that makes sense

Yeah I know, that's the extent of it though... "He's at camp"

He was also the youngest...just saying.

Valiev is like 7 months younger. What if he struggles and gets injured? Trade him? He hasn't shown anything and he's like the 8th best dman on the Marlies.

And I don't even like Finn.

Some of those young guys are going to get to Hali and have themselves A TIME.

Fraser will be professional and prepared to work his ass off for Babcock.

You're gonna see him play in that split squad game Burn, book it.

some of the comments on the tsn fb page are just ridonk

personally, I hate to see gibson go the most. He had a really steady year last year. Reimer is probably gonna get traded at some point, woulda been nice to see him get battle tested at the NHL level.
- GardinerExpress

Babcock will give Reimer a chance.

- GardinerExpress

Oh

Babcock will give Reimer a chance to bring towels to the bench...

Fixed and Agreed...

Some will support anything the Leafs do...Even if it's bad

I remember,

One time,

At band camp.......

I'm not a riemer fan at all

But he deserves a shot. But he will get a short leash.

This could apply to a few at that camp.
