Kinda off topic but would Chicago be interested in Connolly as a second line center

With another year on his contract and that cap hit, I doubt it.

Yea...... what about a cardboard box? haha

Leino played on a top line with Briere and Hartnell... for most of those points. He moved to Buf and suxs.

JVR has done similar number on a lower line, without the same type of talent, without consistent linemates, etc...

Most relize that we've seen Leino ceiling, but have not JVR. Don't forget... Leino is 28 and JVR is 22... Let's compare numbers when JVR is 28.

JVR is a brittle player....will he be playing at 28?
Also hyped up American born players rarely pan out.....

If I wanted to completely troll.....

games played by Toronto per month:
Jan - 12
Dec - 13
Nov - 14
Oct - 11

Total of 50 Games

12 games in January accounts for 24% of their season's games played Scruffton.

Don't claim someone is mathematically or analytically challenged if you are off by 1%...

So far your biggest counterpoint is basically "U ROUNDED UP 1 PERCENTAGE POINT, I GOT U LOLOL"?

No, not really, they have over $5 million right now, and have quite a few UFAs next year, so Komisarek's contract could probably be worked in there. What you have to consider if you're Detroit is if taking Komisarek's contract for the next few years is worth it for a better shot at the cup.

Ummm...and that's based on what?

Sorry dude, but that's such an ignorantly typical Canadian hockey fan thing to say.

How do you keep your box from getting wet?

What do I need to counterpoint?

that Toronto had a 100% PK unit and that only improved their overall PK ranking to 29th? how bad was it before January?

Still can't figure out why the Leafs would part with Schenn. No offense but are they a part (ie. JVR) away from the Cup? Don't give away the future on a long shot...especially to the Flyers. <---- That's the Pens fan in me being selfish.

I'd love Patrick Kane coming back to his hometown of Buffalo... Can I dream too?

It was bad, no one is arguing that. But for the past 1/4 of the season so far our PK has been perfect. My original point was that statistically that is a large enough sample size for us to dub it a trend and not an anomaly.

The leafs don't have to worry about improving their PK ranking from 29th to anywhere. They could go perfect on the PK the rest of the season and still not crack the top 15, but it wouldn't matter because even with the poopty PK we were in the hunt for a playoff spot. The recent improvement of our PK only helps our chances of nabbing a spot even more.

Granted I couldn't give a poop if we made the playoffs. It would be nice, but we wouldn't go anywhere in the playoffs anyways, so what's the point?

I dont want Kane anywhere near here unless he grows up a lot!!!

He'd fall back with his ol South Buffalo boys, drink and party to much.

Yup, like you said, it would only be worse if he was in Buffalo/his home town.
