Give them a chance first. Or trade for picks. Not a 3rd liner soon to be ufa. You're missing the point of why some are against the trade.

No, I get it. But they obviously wanted a quick roster-spot opening and think they can flip Grabner for something later on.

And then a jillion years later, they could tap into his body and get dna to make new Robidas, which would then escape and run amok in the theme park, except the new Robidas would still be so slow that he wouldn't actually catch or hurt anyone.

it was a bit of a stretch... Toolsie got it though... we're both skewed in a similar manner.

Meh, I honestly think it's neither here nor there. Can't see any of those guys we dealt making an impact on any NHL roster. No Alex Steens in that group.

In Toolsie's defence, I'm still furious we drafted Nik Antropov.
- Atomic Wedgie


outside of lecavalier, gomez, gagne and tanguay, was there really anyone better? i think a guy who avg. 19G and 27A is a pretty decent pick from that draft at that spot. For the amount you female dog about him you'd think he was brandon convery.

Thanks, now I can't wait for Mike's new blog where he just copy pastes this post. And mixes in a little colorful commentary about Babcocks return to Detroit.

So here's the hilarious part: if I recall correctly, the Leafs had traded down, or maybe botched a chance to trade up - but I do remember that the Leafs' draft position was unsettled.

And for a reason I can't remember, I really wanted Mark Bell.

Yeah, I swear to God, I wanted Mark Bell.

Maybe I saw him at the WJC and was impressed. Maybe I saw him play a game against St. Mike's (I used to go watch a few games when they played at Maple Leaf Gardens).

Anyhoo, I remember being furious that the Leafs selected Antropov instead of Mark Bell. And for about 5 years, I was absolutely right.
