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

More 6th and 7th rounders!

Dude the prospects we gave up were terrible. They won't sniff the NHL. Good trade.

You have to stop posting this stuff. Nobody will think you know anything about hockey.. Just sayin

That's what makes it so hilarious.

You read your predictions at the end of the year, scratch your head, and say to yourself, "what the hell was I thinking?"

You can just tell my heart told me to write that about Komisarek - no way my head could have ever thought that.

No way.

Ever.

The Devils signed Tlusty for 800,000? Quite the bargain, why would the Leafs not try to sign the guy to that type of contract?

Francois Beauchemin "A"  Terrible last year. I hope he has a good first half, so we can trade him.

Jeff Finger   See you on the Marlies, Jeffie. And don't believe anyone who says it's only his salary that makes him a target for ire - he was lower on the depth chart last year than Exelby, who doesn't have a job in the NHL this year. You figure it out.

Carl Gunnarsson   Let's hope he doesn't have a sophmore jinx this year. Good, albeit unspectacular player. Too bad he will only get 5-6 minutes.

Tomas Kaberle "A"  I'd love to know what Wilson was thinking by stripping him of the A. It's like they want to completely reduce this guy to rubble. Look for him to have a big year - points-wise - and leave the Leafs at the end of the year for nothing.

Mike Komisarek "A"  Will be better than last year, but still not terrific. He's better than average, but no superstar.

Matt Lashoff   Don't care.

Brett Lebda   Don't care.

Dion Phaneuf "C"  The wild card. Will be beaten to the outside once a game. I'm hoping he grows into new role - I like his arrogance. But needs to play better. And I like him as captain - a role Sundin was never, ever suited for.

Danny Richmond   Who?

Luke Schenn   Will be better than last year. Was actually pretty good for the second half of last season. But I wouldn't be opposed to trading him for a good young centre.

Soooooooo, not quite so good with the defensive predictions.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Jean-Sebastien Giguere   Above average. Not a superstar. It's his job to hold the fort until the Monster is ready to assume starting goalie. Won't be a Leaf next year.

Jonas Gustavsson   Won't be as scrambly this year. I'm optimistic.

James Reimer   I'm guessing they will trade him.

Jussi Rynnas   Marlies. Nothing more.

Dear Sweet Jesus, I can't believe I was pumping the Monster's tires.

Wouldn't exactly call these bold predictions. I thought you wanted us to have some fun with these.

because the Leafs already acquired 7 Jiri Tlustys this offseason

Where you going, you just got back..
- bixll

I just got back from the east coast.
Leaving today for 3 days in Chicago then 4 days at Whistling Straits.

In October I'll be in Yarmouth for Thanksgiving then flying straight to Wichita KS to play Prairie Dunes

Only 27 years old...I think he would have improved his game under Babcock...oh well.

I'm curious what you wrote about Petr Svoboda 15 years ago.
- LeafMan

I'll have to check the tapes, but I'm sure it was something clever like:

Petr Svoboda: I'd rather have the older, broken down, for God's sakes just retire Petr Svaboda on Tampa Bay than this stiff.

and we can't hoard all the draft picks as well that we are getting back. It's unfair to the rest of the league.

Is that the guy who sent shirtless pics of himself to Weirdoh or something?

At times I can have a real James Tannerish quality about me.

I see the Polak jab at me

Would have rather him over Setoguchi

Haven't we all done that?

Tlusty signed, Setoguchi is on a PTO.

I'll have my secretary do it

These ones got out

- ThePresident

Yeah but he stated publicly he had no interest in signing a PTO.

I have not! Sent mine to Flyfreaky.

- Phenom

Well I guess, what I'm saying is...I would have rather signed Tlusty at 800,000 than have given Setoguchi a PTO which is going to result in a pretty similar contract if he makes the team.

Isn't the league minimum like 700k

at 27 he's plateaued. that's closer to old than young in the NHL.
