Well Brian Burke on Sportsnet just told a story on how he was in talks with Buffalo about Risto while he was with the Flames and his analytics guys told him he was an absolute disaster and that made him back away.

Gotta love it.

It's ok, all the rings he won in Calgary made up for it.

Fun talk

Going to be an angry trade deadline day in here when we can't unload our crappy UFA's that nobody wants.

When have things been happy, seems pretty angry everyday.

The thing I don't understand is how everyone who doesn't like or whom criticizes Trump, is attacked with imagery of the opposition and "dirt" on opposing candidates, as if that automatically qualifies me as a fan of the other party's nominee?

All of them are creeps, all of them are liars, all of them live better than us and don't give a hoot about us, they are gross and dirty people with gross and dirty pasts, and I hope all of them choke endlessly on their dinner tonight.

A bunch of old, out of touch PEOPLE; It doesn't matter if they're white or men, they don't want us to have anything nice and they keep people brainwashed into believing in them and the corrupt system, and everyone knows it's corrupt yet so many continue to take part in the facade...

Ya'll just want to be a part of something.

"This situation requires dialogue anticipating each scenario...please add more liquid cheese to those nachos"

Scine Botts has been GM, list of players requesting a trade, that we know of:

Bowl-u
Ror
Berglund
Risto
Bogo
Erod

Please add if I forgot any, makes me wonder if other GM's want to keep a good rep with players so they refuse to send them there.

blah blah blah

Trump sucks, Biden sucks, you suck.

Well, to be fair it goes back a year to last TDL,
through the offseason,
into this season,
and now at this TDL...
Some have said, all the D movement the other day is good in that it will bring more serious buyers into the market to "catch-up"
Others have said to brace for ALL the magic to now happen at the Draft.
Some have said not to expect major change at all
We'll see.

Botts has done some decent/good trades in isolation, but as a whole has bungled the roster about as bad as one could actively architect if they set out to do so.

Trump sucks, Biden sucks, you suck.

It was entertaining last night.
From an entertainment perspective...
Collectively, the candidates must be terrified of Bloomberg's potential impact as they jointly attacked him like sharks seeking to kill a whale.
Klobuchar and Buttigieg went to war, knocked Amy for a loop...she was pissed
Bernie is Bernie
Warren looks crazed all the time like she does 8balls at commercial breaks...a multi-billion dollar plan for everything
Joe looks old, sad and too bad

The Mexican proctor was kinda hot, but focused on little stuff and was put in her place by Warren who felt she had to defend Klobuchar's honor.

Good entertainment value on a slow night.

the only good thing about that debate was the mexican proctor

Klobuchar started to cry, she's done


I just wish when Warren tells others how wrong they are and what they did in their past, one would come back and put her perfect self in her place with her past lies

Congrats to Jacob Bryson for getting his first pro goal last night for the Amerks. He has quietly had a very good first year as a pro. I would put him slightly ahead of Borgen at this point. Although they play different styles I would give Bryson the edge. I see him as McCabe's ultimate replacement at LD.

Dahlin
Pilut
Bryson
Samuelsson ( a few years away)

The Ryan Johnson pick at 31 last year is a joke, he'll be a bust. Just watch Kaliyev will be a stud.

6K had a rough game last night, let in a few softies.

That's a tough position from which to perform "roster surgery". Surgeons tend to need their hands unencumbered.

I see one not both getting moved. At least teams have interest in our trash.

We need to sign Brett Murray by June 1st or he's gone.

Appreciate the update. I rather keep both. When this team actually is good.

I think the LOG line is actually good for what they do

Enjoying my time in teh Leafs thread:

Matthews is the issue.

He's one of the most talented players in the league but he is no leader. In fact, I would bet that the leader on the team is actually frustrated with Matthews and there will one day, likely soon, be a rivalry/battle between Matthews and Tavares.

I will also bet that Matthews moves to the USA as soon as he is able to (UFA).

p.s. Babs was not the problem


This team is a mess. Marner and Matthews are both great players but their main concern is scoring not winning. They cheat on defense, looking to justify their big contracts. Who cares if Matthews scores 60 or Marner scores 100 points if they play on a non playoff team. Just like the Oilers, the Leafs lack balance and are going nowhere until they stop playing shinny and start playing big boy hockey

Risto, Mitts, Rhino, 2020 1st for that leaderless plug.
