Thanks tips. What gave you that impression? Our cap situation, glut of wingers, or the fact that Vanek is a one-dimensional has-been?

You're welcome tips. I think it was your razor sharp wit and originality.

what a crap blog

if they wanted to keepp dominicaco they would have. no problem. they are fine for contracts and cap space.

they are not trading bozak because they want to not suck and they need bozak. in fact expect bozak to resign for 4 more years at seasons end

Hey Tips. I was referencing EK's blog. It really does take you an hour and a half to watch 60 minutes doesn't it? Better luck next time.

Yeah that one made no sense. Those are my favourite trade rumours, the ones that make no sense at all for the team's situation.

I'm not one to complain about bloggers, but Mike doesn't offer much. No opinions. No alternative takes. Just kind of mainstream media after the fact

You're suggesting that reading Ek's blog is something I'd ever do.

I like his blogs being straight-ahead report style about stuff going on with the Leafs. There's already enough troll wars on a Leafs thread, because it's the Leafs, it doesn't need a blogger who has more of an op/ed style, where you have people coming in to the thread just to argue constantly with a blogger who invites it.

Yeah, this is true. There's a lot of in-depth stuff, op-ed pieces (ad nauseum), etc., and a billion Twitter accounts, but Mike does a nice job of summing up what's happening in a quick blog.

Idk I think the devils could make a better offer for him in their bottom pairing and I think that if for whatever reason they can't trade for a dman? Then ya he definitely could be an option? ..the devil ya know senerio!

I think the Lears should sign and trade Polak for Hall. JMHO

Guys, the Leafs are going to make a big trade for one of the best dmen in the West in the last five years. I don't think it's too early to start sucking each other's Richards.

** Don't forget, also "A STAPLE" in the All Star Games !! (LA Kings reference ?)

Here's what I've heard:

I've heard it was a D man whose played an average of 23.49 minutes/game over the last 3-7 seasons with his respective teams and is able to slot in on the PP and PK effectively as needed with above average shot suppression and puck possession. Not younger or faster than most of his peers, but just old enough to become a quiet, reliable leader in the room. Can comfortably play in the top 3 defensive lines; but best suited in the 3-5 D role

Can he suck a mean Richard though? That's really what's important here.
