Because the price isn't worth it rit now. It's pretty simple. You don't trade a great asset to address an area of weakness if there isn't something worthwhile available, or else you end up with a hall for Larson situation and that be just dumb.

it's not about trading Marner or Nylander

Get ready for a special 'Sparks juicy rebound night'

Yeah but he's poop though.

Just try to watch tonight without looking for him to make mistakes and see what you think. He might surprise you.

We been watching him for a couple years now, the only thing that would surprise is him looking like an nhl player.

He's already been made to look like poop on his first shift.

Kept in in twice on his second shift and got a shot on goal. Rielly knocked his man down and still gave the puck away...

Pesce and Ferland for nylander!!!

only if the Leafs get to include Marincin... and Carolina adds a 2nd

Marincin is like a weak indecisive version of Polak - unable to ice the puck.

Sparks looks sharp.

Rest, not so much, but they're starting to skate.

Dermott just passed him the puck and he let the Hawks take it,,didn't even make an attempt at it.

actually, I'm worried about that as well... but so far so good.

Actually come to think of Sparks being in there... Babcock probably put Marincin in because he knows that will scare the crap out of Sparks...

maybe not such a stupid move...

but this is all I have on the Marincin front... seriously how do you pick Marincin ahead of Holl - with his own rule of Left hand Right hand.

now thát's how you bring a national anthem.
it's not about the singer (mediocre at best) - but about the passion.
leafs should get rid of the teenage girl, and get singer(s) that sing the national anthem with pride and passion.

um no..

that was (frank)ing annoying af..

Lets just keep being the humble happy Canadians and let Americans make the rally around a dumb song.

No anthems would be ideal.. TSN does hockey better than SN

That was a weak slow pass and Kane was closer, if he goes behind the net chasing Kane, that would have been way worse. See that's my point, he made a safe play on that but you'd rather say Marincin screwed up rather than Dermott making a weak pass.

Is this your own opinion, or did UG say it first?

I'm pretty fluid when it comes to opinions. I'm not afraid to change my opinion if someone shows me the money. Or stops showing up.
I was a big fan of both Komarov and Brown. Komarov sucks and Brown is wearing thin on me. Marincin sucks. But we'll see

The Kings having Slash do it on guitar was the greatest ever. Although Hendrix at Woodstock is the definitive Star Spangled Banner

inconclusive, so they'll probably give the goal

okay - so you see positive in Marincin.

based simply on the pre-season - how do dress Marincin ahead of Holl TO REPLACE A RIGHTSIDE righthanded defensemen?

The puck didn't even make it behind the net. Go watch it again if you can, it was a bad pass by Dermott, who wasn't even under pressure.

Why are you defending Marincin so much? He’s not an NHL player.

That I can't answer, I would have been happy with Holl going in.
