Give it time Danielsan. Give it time.

There are plenty more to give away at a chance to pick up more PTO's and waiver claims.

More 6th and 7th rounders!

Nonsense! Everybody on HBuzz knows better than the collective management group running the Leafs. You must know this by now!
- TheThrill



were any of those prospects in the top 10 Leafs prospects?
Doubtful

CV and Finn probably have an outside chance at being NHL players...but not very impactful ones imo.

I agree with you. I have zero issues with the trade from yesterday.

Like last year's deadline deals right?

Santorelli and Franson in the deal for a 1st and Leipsic
Winnik for a 2nd and a 4th
Hell, even Holzer got a 5th

Why do you continue to slam this deal which is effectively a nothing deal.

Last year, right after trade deadline, we were all (frank)ing PRAISING the management for moving expiring contracts for picks.

Now, you use it to sarcastically attempt to slag management. How ironic

There's still an outside chance that leafs are in discussions regarding brozak or phaneuf and need the contract spots to take back some prospects that have a future

Maybe if Reimer would stop flicking his highbeams at him he wouldn't let in a soft one every game!

That or some other deal that nobody knows about (except the incredible HBuzz GMs) that may or may not require taking a cap dump back for a solid prospect or two

Who. really. knows.

It's not ironic, they didn't give away prospects for those players to have spots, it's a huge difference but you refuse to see that and then you go writing off prospects never given a chance. This is typical fans following along. Like Rask, Boyes, Steen (to some extent) etc.. The whole idea about prospects is that you develop them, one year out of junior is not enough time to just throw away but what do I know except the history of what the Leafs repeatedly have done.

Still on my Galaxy S3. Love it.

Problem with those phones is the battery, though. It just doesn't last.

Grabner = 30 goal scorer
JVR = 30 goal scorer
Seto = 30 goal scorer
Boyes = 30 goal scorer
Bozak = 20+ goal scorer
PAP = 20+ goal scorer
Lupul = 20+ goal scorer
Kadri = 20+ goal scorer

Just saying...

I think the thing that all of those 30 goal scorers have in common, is that they only did it once, and have been cursing on that the rest of their careers.



I may be wrong.

Plus are below Marner, Nylander and Goats, and Percy, Harrington, Valiev and Dermott respectively on the depth chart.

And don't anybody give me this weak "Marner and Nylander are wingers" bullpoop (Nylander is over 190lbs now, is that big enough for a centre...?)

Same with mine. Just get the Battery Doctor app... clears useless stuff that's running and saves hours.

If you list the prospects that have been added/removed since Shanny took over, its a big difference from the JFJ days that you reference.

Way more on the plus side than negative

Is it really the same?

The fact that those prospects were deemed to be not as good as the walk-ons that replaced them - which is what allowed them to become expendable?

Is that really a Rask for Raycroft trade?
Is that really moving Steen for Stempniak? Which 1st rounder did we ship out again?

You stick to the PTO stance like glue, but that wasn't even the reason the deal was made. Guys who nobody saw coming (except management who clearly invited them for a reason) pushed out our own draftees and that's got armchair GMs in a huff.

That's all there is to it
