Probably the same type of bumhole that has corporate seasons tickets, goes to a bunch of games for free, spends most of his time hammered in the fancy restaurant inside the arena on the company dime, eating sushi, watching the game in his suit and thinks he knows hockey.

As much as I think it makes sense to move Nylander for a D, part of me wants to see just how much more ridiculous the Leafs offense can get with his addition to the lineup.

I can't remember - was I pissed off when we lost the Kevin Shattenkirk sweepstakes?

My son opened one of his Tim Hortons hockey card packs yesterday and ran up to me all excited to tell me he got a 3D card of Brock Boozer!

17 this year.

But I'll add that this year, we haven't played a team yet that made the playoffs the year before.

Just looking at our schedule over the next month. No real "gimme's" other than Detroit

It's a unique situation..

Nylander on a handful of teams would be one of their top 2 players and no one would blink if he got $8M per season. Here, he is the 4th or 5th best forward (depending on how you feel about Kadri), so $8M is way too much money for him.

- PatC80


Fan590 at noon, they were speculating that there is a very good chance he is traded even if he signs. It is certainly plausible, and it would make it understandable if part of the holdout is around a ntc.

We also did not have Sparks give up 6 goals against a very mediocre team.

The Pens paid Kessel that to be on their 3rd for a season.

Didn't we retain salary on that one?

I was woken up twice last night - 12:20 am and 2:20 am - by my dog throwing up on my bedroom floor.

I'm hitting the wall right now - I'll be asleep by 2:30 pm.

Good times.

^THIS!!!

Last season was the first season in a long time I didn't have a complaint about goaltending or fear at the start of any game.

Not sure WTF happened with the McIll decision but we all knew Sparks sucked in the NHL last year. He is an AHL goalie. Just like some players light it up in the A but not the N, Sparks is that for goaltenders. Get McIll back and Sparks can (frank) off.

Should be more like 17GF and 12-13 GA right now. (frank)ing stupid Dubas!
