I will take him and his girlfriend if it gets him here.

His girlfriend pretty much single-handedly wrecked Ottawa’s locker room.

Would’ve liked Johansson but he’s off the board. To the Sabres...

Sure they will. Toronto has a thing called depth and talent.

Luv how you can rile up an entire fanbase. In just a few comments.

So much that they lose in the first round every year and haven't won a cup in over 50 years. Let's be honest the leafs are the paper champs of the nhl
- Upstate_isles

Agreed but most of their fans are so lost in just about every way I’m beginning to like them based on the comedic value.

Guys a total tool.

Go check out the Laffs thread. Rodger IK wrote that Winnipeg doesn’t know what a Championship or parade is.

Couldn’t resist had to answer and Laff fans do

I would love Kreider but no way are Rangers trading him to us.

They’re the best pre season team.

I believe they won the Stanley Cup last July, shortly after signing Pajama Boy. I know they were planning the parade anyway.

Going to be interesting to see how that team performs this season. Most likely losing Gardiner, Anderson a year older, Losing Kadri. Can’t see them doing anything more next season than they did the past one. Maybe they won’t even make it a seven game series against who ever they lose to in the first round.

Nice blog dude, but honestly the remaining FA's are not worth a chance bc of what the team is constructed now. If team lost out on Lee, I wouldnt have minded Ferland and a lower replacement for front net aspects etc.

If no offer sheet is forthcoming then trade away a few assets & picks to improve, its that simple (maybe )

man you're delusional, the addition of Barrie & Ceci are no stellar players that play D

But I get it, your wishful thinking is positive for the fanbase, nice touch but do me a favor, with all the talent Laffs have, please come back here when you surpass the 1st rd, thx

I agree. I don't see any reason for them to be better, and they could find that they miss Kadri more than just for his bonehead penalties. The team is not exactly a gritty team.

Also, what's gonna happen with Marner? Now that we know he wants only a 3-year deal, an offer sheet makes no sense. But what if he can't reach agreement with the Leafs? Does he play in the KHL next season?

This comment section is getting sad. Leafs haven’t won a cup in a billion years, Sabres have never won, and the Isles haven’t won in 36 years. I don’t think any of us should really be bragging

The problem is neither the Sabre fan or any Islander fans are bragging. That would be just the Leaf fan who I find hysterical btw. Leaf fans crack me up so by all means don’t leave.

I think these young players are nuts with these two or three year contracts trying to make an extra million to three million on their next. Too much risk for multiple reasons as far as I’m concerned. Also, depending on what he’s looking for they may be forced to trade him. If it comes to him playing overseas I would think they trade him and try and recoup as much as possible.

I agree with you by the way. Roger is a moron of epic proportions. I would like to believe he is a troll but I’m afraid he isn’t smart enough.
