since we are on this comparison thing:

Lemieux/Yagr

or

Crosby/Malkin?

Ron hainsy got a 2nd. Rental prices are definitely going to be high this year.
- Tumbleweed

Yeah. Hainsey hit the jackpot.

Good way to put it really

But Gretzky's career stayed hot like Helen Mirren and Mario's went to poop like Lara Flynn Boyle.
- daeth

The shooting % he sports is insane. I wonder if all of these rookies see regression once the league gets a "book" on them.
- markmark

Yeah you have to wonder how he'll adapt. He's so good at getting open already but he is only just 18 so he could easily adapt to whatever they throw at him.

choice #1 easily

mario/malkin and crosby/jagr would've been closer imho

Well that Hainsey trade is an eye opener. Glad he's finally going to make the playoffs!

Still don't think Komarov could get a 2nd or 3rd Wedgie?
- mykokes

Why would they trade Komarov?

I dont see why the they would trade anyone they are playing daily

I take the first two in a heartbeat.

Art Ross Count: 11-4.
Hart Count: 4-3.

Found it interesting that Malkin has 2 Art Ross's, 1 Hart Trophy and a Conn Smythe.

Time to ship Polak, Hunwick and Marincin NOOOOOOOOW!!!

lol.....see how Marchenko does tonight. Glad we didn't pay that price for Hainsey though.

Yes please

Seriously though, at those prices/returns it almost shouldn't matter how Marchenko does tonight.

How much worse can Marchenko be?

I don’t think we move hunwick or polak. No buying, no selling this year.

A couple more ahl player swaps is all I’m expecting.

Agreed.
Hope Carrick injury is short term and Marchenko suprises.
It would be nice to snag another 2nd for Polak.

Dellow wrote an article on Faceoffs about the Leafs (theathletic).. mainly to do with LH/RH and what side of the ice you take the FO from.

Interesting info, not something I put a lot of thought into.

Explains a little bit the Smith thing, thought this was notable

Gauthier, who’s a questionable prospect at this point, may ultimately find that there isn’t a lot of room in the NHL for a left handed faceoff specialist because you’re at a real disadvantage on half of the ice.

In the long term, the Leafs would benefit from finding right-handed players skilled enough to play with Matthews or Kadri who can win faceoffs on the right side. The rewards for anyone meeting both of those criteria will be substantial, both on the scoresheet and at the bank.

A lot of knee injuries.

well.. it's basically a third..

well.. it's basically a third..





- MaximusAurelius

And Carolina ate half the salary. so there's that.

Translated: Polak would probably only get a 4th. Marincin a conditional 6th lol.

Leivo played less. Didn't effect him. Didn't complain.


I want the guy in the lineup that comes ready to play no matter what. Not the whiny one.

Corrado has some growing up to do if wants another opportunity here.
- Tumbleweed

Frank that.

Corrado was plucked off the waiver wire, and then for two years they stuck him in the press box.

If he isn't good enough to play for the Leafs, send him to the Marlies. If he gets claimed, the Leafs shouldn't care - he wasn't good enough to play for the big club.

I don't blame Corrado one bit for being upset - you only have so much of a window of opportunity in your career, and you aren't going to get better/maintain your skills if you haven't played a game in two years.

If Babcock hates him, fine - get rid of him. Give him a fresh start elsewhere - even if it is in the AHL.

Already done d'amigo!

Because we have too many forwards and not enough defence.
