Really like to acquire Kakko or whatever his name is.


"A quick-thinking winger, Kakko never seems to be in a rush. He reads the game exceptionally well and finds himself a step ahead while the play is still developing. He is confident with the puck and capable of handling it in small spaces. With decent size for a player of his age, Kakko protects the puck well and uses his high hockey IQ to make smart offensive plays. He plays a mature game and is already strong enough to compete with men in the Finnish Liiga. Kakko excels offensively and beats opponents with smarts and skill both on and off the puck."

No...it's like when you have a kid that's just not that bright, takes after their mom, you try and try to help them get to where you think they should be, but alas, you just come to the conclussion everyone has that one dumb kid and you just have to learn to accept it.

Benning has been instructed by ownership that he's not allowed to trade any of our picks for the 2019 NHL Entry Draft #insideinformation

Leivo has played 41 games for the Leafs, most of them with very limited minutes and has 9 goals.
He sits in the press box for 14 games straight while Nylander has 9 goals in 54 games of power play time and a regular #1 line shift.
Marner has 9 goals in the same 54 games with a regular shift.
Neither have ever been in the press box despite a complete disinterest in defence.
If Leivo played a regular shift he would probably score 30 goals in a season.
but he needs to improve his skating, like Bo hired a speed skating coach for example

Boy, are you ever going to be disappointed.

Leivo definitely has a little upside. He's shown flashes and is a little streaky, but hasn't produced enough to remain in the line up for any length of time... And this has been happening for three/four years now. With the roster moving forward his time just kinda ran out.

A change of scenery and fresh start could be exactly what he needs.

You know you hired the right guy when you have to place strict restrictions on his trading ability. Probably doesn't bode well from Jimbo's future.


Last time Aquaman didn't let Gillis trade Kesler and months later he was fired.

my oldest is a chip off her mothers block, but she's a nice kid LOL.

My youngest has a Master's Degree, she's 26 and in a management role already, making 150K+ a year, she's my kid

So he’s a slightly taller Leipsic? Sounds good!

I think if they just run with Anthony Stolarz and Elliott for the rest of the year they'll be fine. No sense wasting picks and prospects on immediate help. Just my opinion. Hart and Sandstrom are the next in line, both are excellent prospects. Hopefully they can take their skills to the next level in the NHL. Just as my hope for Demko!
