never hated him

said he was over rated


if we kept him and biron we would have been a better team instead of 65 games of miller and a sieve for a back up


he played 7 seasons as a sabre goalie, was all world for 2/3 of a season and average the other 6 seasons

Disagree that's why Biron is out of the league and miller is still in it

Biron had his chance to be number 1 didn't last ... Don't say because he was old because goalies age Differently he was 29 had Opportunity to make his own story didn't do it

Leafs want to sign Larsson...

Oh no lol

- gerbe75pts

not sure they could afford a bottom-six/4th-line center that could command between $2-2.5m, if not a little more...regardless of his defensive prowess...

what they really need to work on, and put money into, is that defense

Anything more than 2 mil, you have to let him walk. They aren’t in a position to overpay for bottom six players.

the analytics community is all over him and last year's performance...that won't get lost on him and his agent and this might be his best opportunity to get a contract that's more than he's really worth, which would be $2.5-3M on a 2-3 yr. deal.

Biron had 5 seasons under his belt before Miller came along. He was also on some of the worst teams of that era.

I think Adam's is gonna surprise, he has some old buddies around the league and some are with teams that we could possibly do some business with.

One more thing to consider from Pham today on the radio, depending on which direction Minny wants go.

Adams and E. Staal won a cup together.

Just sayin...

Not a bad catch there jcrag, and he has a few that are GM's or AGM'S for a few teams, and other positions. Think he makes a few moves and surprises.

I was listening to their general manager it sounds like they want a number one center so we wouldn't make good trade partners

I hear Mittelstadt has been hitting the gym HARD

Plus he's a Minny boy

Just sayin pt deux

It's honestly a fair trade, if Adams could convince Staal. 1 year rental for a rehab project 7OA pick.
