Sandin was on loan so he can play in the AHL/ECHL like Julius Honka.

poopz, that's no good. Why can't he play better than Julius Honka?

Shouldn't he be in LA to visit his in-laws or something like that about now.
- zazzle

They are now his ex-in-laws, which is why I suspect he is now working as an undertaker's assistant.

Yzerman was an intelligent player which allowed him to become a great all round player. Bowman convinced him to apply that talent to the defensive side of the game as well but he didn't teach him how to be smarter, he was already a smart player. I don't see Ritchie having that level of hockey IQ and I don't think it can be coached into him. Hockey IQ is a natural talent in itself.

We need to get Honka, so that we can play Elvis' "Honka Burning Love."

It would be epic.

Exactly, Hockey IQ is no different than intelligence hence the reasoning for calling it IQ. You don't go to school to become more intelligent, you go to learn knowledge and skills.

Ritchie is still young, plenty of room to grow and learn. That's why Babcock gets paid the big bucks right?

Players can be taught hockey IQ, can't teach size though.

I'd take Bennett over Brown and Ritchie over Johnsson. Like I said earlier, the rest of the top-six is already filled with skill and speed. Take the extra speed and skill and move it for some young prospective power forwards.

Just look at Jake Gardiner.

He's ready to ace his Mensa test now.

I'm still at a loss as to how Ritchie is a better playoff player than Andreas Johnson. The only stat Ritchie seems to do well in come playoff time is racking up pim. Whereas didn't Johnson just dominate the ahl playoffs and look pretty good in the Boston series?

The guy still wants to add arguably the worst player in the league in Vermette.

So

Don't forget about that overpriced RHD guy that would cost the Leafs their future.

He writes very much like Howard Berger
- walshyleafsfan


He reminds me of (frank)-face Steve Simmons.

When he gets an idea in his head, no matter how stupid or wrong it is, he'll beat it to death and not let it go.

And then a few years down the line, he'll flip on it and pretend that it was not only his thought all along but he thought it first and everyone agrees with him.

John Tavares is an elite player who could push a 100 point team over the edge to be a legitimate Cup contender.

What's that, he signed with the Leafs?

John Tavares is an overrated underachiever who's on the decline. The Leafs will get swept in the 1st round and regret his contract for years.

Underachiever implies he could be better.

Tavares will never get better. He will only get worse.

Stupid Loafs fans.
