You can hear Pink Floyd in those Parson albums,

Wasn't the lead singer from the Zombies, Colin Blunstone, part of the Allan Parson's Project? Saw the Zombies in concert 6 years ago and they were tremendous. Blunstone and Ron Argent were a fantastic duo. Both did OK on their own, as well.

Tanner apparently thinks it's edgy to call classic music played out, and whatever's on Pitchfork's front page this week is the greatest album of all time. Also it's edgy to be only into action movies, as if the lack of a distinction between popular cinema and art films is a new, edgy idea (it's not).

Skinner is a damn good player though. Speed and skill for days. Sabres got a steal.

It’s just a weird move. Trade away ROR for futures, and then bring in Skinner with 1 year remaining.

Doubt he resigns, probably just sees a good opportunity to get minutes so he can sign a big contract next summer somewhere.

They gave up very little to get a legit 30 goal scoring winger with speed.

ROR was unhappy in Buffalo, overpaid and not scoring enough to earn his contract. The money they cleared by moving ROR and the expiring Pominville contract should make it easy for them to sign Skinner to a JVR/Kane type deal.

Rather have Skinner on the LW beside Tavares or Matthews than Hyman, that's for damn sure. And at that price, they may have let a bargain slip away, even if it was just for one year.

If he becomes a UFA and the Leafs end up moving Nylander for a RHD, Skinner wouldn't be too bad of a replacement, depending on price of course. Maybe he has some Leafs bed sheets.

If buffalo is having a bad season by the deadline they could probably trade skinner for a 1st to a contender. Wouldn’t be surprised if he resigns tho, wanted to be closer to home by the sounds of things and Buffalo was one of his top destinations. Pretty good winger imo.

ROR didn't want to be there anymore. Remember his whole "lost the love for the game" memoir he did? Seems like he was a bit of a problem child.

Skinner supposedly had to approve a trade to Buffalo and blocked trades to the Kings and Blues. I just read this from another poster on the EK thread though, so not verified. He may actually re-sign in Buffalo.

Skinner is a legit 30 goal scorer. He's a good player, at least offensively.

Tanner was slamming Pink Floyd, the "worst of the classic rock bands". Apparently only teenagers smoking pot for the first time should get a bye for listening to them.

What's this blasphemous bullpoop?

I read a lot of stupid poop on here, but this might take the cake.

I’m a big Canadian music buff and fan, love if I had a rocket launcher.

Underrated bands, Triumph, April Wine, Prism, Chilliwack and Saga, plus many more...

I have an extensive collection, Guess Who, Tropper, BTO, Loverboy, Honeymoon Suite, Rush, Harlequin, Teenage Head, Doug the Slug, FM etc...

And of course, Gordon Lightfoot

- LeafMan


Few things better than getting home from work and just falling on the couch with a brew and listening to some Gordon Lightfoot.

Okposo and Moulson were brutal contracts signed after those players were gifted time next to Tavares on Long Island. Neither were legitimate NHL players after that despite scoring 60 points with JT dragging them up and down the ice.

Myers had a strong rookie year but never really lived up to his contract extension.

I can't remember if Bogo came with his current contract or if they gave it to him.

Pominville is way overpaid but done next year.

Ville Leino had to be one of the worst contracts in league history.
