Toskala.

Ya, more universal groans for him.

I'm just going to say it:

I hope we find at a way to get Gardiner on a short term contract.

There, I said it.

Or typed it.
- Atomic Wedgie

did you change your meds this morning?

looks like the Flyers GM is mixing things up... three concrete defense moves already.

meanwhile... back at the Raptors celebration... Doogie Howser Dubas is asleep at the switch

I sincerely hope he isn't "Waiting for calls"... like he waited to get a deal with Holdoutlander...

"hello Brendan... can you tell me where Doogie is?"...

please tell him its dinner time and he needs to come in - stop playing...

I am sure that was difficult for you, but I believe it was necessary.
- Aetherial

Why would it be difficult? The guy is a raging misogynist.

Larry Murphy has to be on that point.
- bixll

I think Aki has him beat. Larry and Komisarek definitely 2nd pairing though.

I'm just furious that the guy showed up out of shape after holding out.

My daughter had a funny one today:

Let's get Kessel back, and have a Kessel-Kadri-Nylander line, so that the Leafs fans can direct all their hate.

I suggested we get back Phaneuf and Aki Berg to play as a unit, but she had no idea who Aki Berg was.

So I grounded her.
- Atomic Wedgie

c'mon Wedgie... get with the times... use Mike Kostka or Brett Lebda.

Aki Berg is from a different century

If you look at some players salaries..... Willies is bargain in comparison to some of the aged vets deals still on the books.
- bixll

Hopefully, play him with Matthews and nobody will complain I guess.

- BorjeFan4Ever

Admittedly I had to look but 2001 is this century.

Could always be a lot worse. Some were hoping that the Leafs would sign that overpaid clown.
- GreatGigInTheSky

Agreed. I'm glad the Hawks stayed far away from him. The Hawks already have a 60 point defensemen..

Hopefully, play him with Matthews and nobody will complain I guess.
- Garnie

If he plays like he did at the worlds, bargain...

SJ just cut 3.8M from the Cap and they got a 2nd and a 3rd rd pick for a 32 defenseman with one year left...

Seems like the Leafs have to take on more salary from other teams just to trade guys like Zaitsev/Marleau/Brown.
- PatC80

Braun is pretty Meh

so if they gave that up for 1 season of Braun ..thats ungood
if they plan to re-sign him then NZ has to have similar value

- senstroll

Exactly..

I hope we can get something good for Zaitsev. I know he asked for a trade, which could impact the return, I guess.

Zaitsev and Brown to Edmonton for Larsson?

- bixll

We can all hope.....if he plays 3c and puts up 40 points it’s a real waste of cap space.

- BorjeFan4Ever

Nobody hated Kostka or Lebda.

Hell, I couldn't pick them out of a police lineup.

Exactly..

- PatC80

Chiarelli got fired, remember?

If the net yield for Taylor (frank)ing Hall ends up being Zaitsev and Brown, Edmonton may as well fold the team.

Holland wants to move on from that trade.. Kinda like how Boston did when they traded Seguin and Hamilton.

- BorjeFan4Ever

Maybe, just maybe Dubas is waiting for the NHL to decide on a salary cap for the 2019/20 season?

- PatC80

A) You don't know that

B) Even if he did, making an even pooptier trade doesn't help anybody

C) Boston got (frank)ed in both those deals so maybe there's a lesson to be learned; don't make a bad trade even worse

- PatC80

Or he has a number of spectacular trades already worked out, and he's just waiting to announce them because he doesn't want to steal the thunder of his corporate brothers, the Raptors.

That's totally what I think.

A) It could happen,

B) If it did, that would be great

C) It's good for us, who cares about Edmonton

making moves for the sake of it..

I really dont like what Philly is doing.
Pretty sure they will suck again and then will be standing there going.. what happened? we fixed the D

What a guy that Dubas is... Always trying to help the Raptors build up an even larger fanbase..

- senstroll

In Philly's case, they now have 8 defenseman. Maybe they trade one, or two..

Also, I still don't understand the Gudas for Niskanen trade.

Tyler Myers???

On Myers, I think the market will dictate he’s worth around $6.5-million to $7-million a season on a six- to seven-year deal.
