I think it's more the man love that kessel and bozak have.  The top trio was pretty brutal all game.  If they aren't generating offence,  they are pretty useless.

I have the feeling he wants to play in a large US market.  LA, Anaheim, Philly,Chicago, NY.  I doubt he's interested in playing in Toronto

Zzzzz....

I was in New York for Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals.  I bet you 85% of the people there didn't even know the Rangers were even playing.  100% baseball town

How did he make the Finnish national team if he's such an irrelevant player?  I mean its not as though he was on Latvia or Norway

they do tend to miss out on the bigger fish...which I don't think is a bad thing. Last year Clarkson was a big fish, and he bombed, Brad richards the year before bombed how could anyone forget chris drury and scott gomez when they were the big FA, and they crashed and burned Come to think...

True...but but Bolland also got a ludicrous offer that he would have to be insane not to accept.  I wish they had him back, but i would have done the same thing if I were him.  Its not as though the leafs are a chicago or an LA, where you stay for a lesser contract for the chance to win.  They...

I think you are also assuming that Free agency is simply an auction.  I don't think there was any indication that Stastny even wanted to play in Toronto

I think he is in a no win situation in terms of fan reaction.  Everyone on here was clamouring to get Komarov back, yet when he signs they are unhappy about the term and the dollars.  he was a UFA...and in those cases you have to pony up or he walks.  That's just the way it is Had Nonis let him...

Those two lines would a combined minus 100

hindsight is 20/20....i don't think anyone was complaining at the time when they bought out Komisarek. the other factor is that the leafs Defense was amazingly healthy this year.  Franson, Phaneuf, gunnarson, gardiner, all played 79+ games...reilly played 73 only because he was a healthy...

I don't think gleason was brought in for his toughness....i think he was brought in because he was the only avenue available to move Liles.  They had to take a bad contract back to move out a bad contract.

Agreed.  Leafs D was soft as hell. Good move

not always the same pattern....remember when JFJ refused to trade steen and kaberle for Pronger.  that would haven been a game changer.  Ugh

I saw a lot of Flames games this year, and Giodarno is the real deal.  Best player on the Flames by a country mile.  It would take a boatload to get him

Yeah no kidding....every year when Burke was in Toronto the leafs were going to trade up for the number 1 pick....because burke got the Sedins and Pronger at the draft a hundred years ago  ::).  It's just the papers making up stuff to create buzz.  Toronto sports writers are a bunch of loser...

I fail to see the link between Jagr's contract and anything do with David Clarkson or the Leafs whatsoever.  But I guess if you compare  anyone elses contract it will provide fodder to prove that the leafs are getting terrible value from David Clarkson

No Doubt that Rask is a good goalie...but its boston's team that puts him over the top.  I mean Thomas won multiple Vezina's behind Chara and Co.  Hell even their backups has outrageous stats: Name            GAA  W  L  T SvPct Niklas Svedberg 1.97 1  0  0 0.943 Tuukka Rask    2.06 35 15 6...

Billed as The Next Lidstrom if I recall correctly

This collapse rivals the 2011 Redsox.  Blew a 9 game lead on Sept 04 (where they had a 99.6% chance of making the playoffs) finishing with a 7-20 record, and were passed by the Devil Rays on the last day of the season.  Silver lining they won the world series 2 years later. So there's hope...
