Correct

Yes, but it’s more fun to get an entire fanbase kicking and screaming than a couple of fans.

But you’re right, TB needs to figure it out. I’d say they’re worse off than TOR. TOR at least has a few decent prospects while TB has what 1-2? Raddysh being their guy. No idea about their D prospects.

Tampa is very fine for prospects.

What do you think Point gets? With Stralman, Girardi, and Coburn contracts up they should be able to fit him.

8 x 8-8.5

[quote=Deeps27]You guys are probably the same people that complain that the Leafs get too much shallow and hollow media coverage. All those shallow articles on Sportnet is written by shallow 15 year old bandwagon fans. Who was not Leaf fans during the BallHard years.


HONEST!
- Landsbergfan

LOL...know why I don't know anything about the Flyer caps situation? Because I just don't care. We appreciate all your closet Leafs fans though...makes it more welcoming to hear "go Leafs go" in every road building they play in.

Gut feeling point gets north of 9.

Master plan in Columbus:
1) Acquire Duchene
2) Make a Cup run with Bob and Bread
3) Use the scent of that run to entice all three to stay.

Possibly but Stamkos, Hedman, and Kucherov all took less money to stay there so they set the precedence there.

8-9 the way these crazy contracts are being handed out.

Fine meaning thin on prospects or fine meaning they’re ok with prospects?

Wonder if he'll get offersheeted?

Or if every team is still saving it for Matthews and Marner?

Well now we know what EK's next blog will be about...

Ek, I like your site. I've read it for years. I think all your long-term readers know what your site is all about by now. Most comments on these forums however seem aimed at skewering your process. But my only real complaint about your work is the absolute overabundance of ellipses in your writing. You end virtually every paragraph and heading with "...". Stop doing that! Every sentiment cannot be that mysterious/immediately important.

They have plenty.

On D: Cernak has already stepped in. Foote will be ready next season.

On F: Barre-Boulet, Raddysh, Stephens and Volkov will all be pushing for a roster spot.

For sure. They are stacked throughout the entire org. TOR is in a very similar spot.

This is weird way to write "traded to the Islanders"

- eichiefs9

so he's the anti-snake

Jesus they lose once and the Islanders are “slumping”? They completely dominated the third period of the game last night. Unfortunately the refs had the night off and called no penalties on the Scabers. Comical when the Islanders had then buried in their own end for three minutes and Buffalo players were holding, slashing, hooking and nothing was called
- BringNYIhome

Sabres were slashing and grabbing, same as the Islanders were..If they call it one way they would've called it the other too! Comical you think Islanders deserved the victory and were only held back by missed calls, when they had 24 shots on goal and their goalie made 19 saves

“The Isles have slumped a tad here “

6-2-2 in their last ten?

Impending doom.
- Cptmjl

Plan the parade!

At least the Isles have had Championship parades in the 80's...When was the last leafs parade???
