Yeah newer analytics really put the final nail in the coffin of 'stay-at-home' d-men; they do indeed stay 'at home', the defensive zone, because that's where the puck is most of the time when they're on the ice.  And if they're staying home while the puck is down the ice (because they don't have...

To be fair the 1st is known 30th it's not potentially top 10 (2nd overall...) so it's not really on the same level as trading our own pick without even knowing where it is like Burke arrogantly did.

Assuming he doesn't implode like another touted 1B the Leafs acquired I like this.  I don't think it can be compared to signing a contract like this at other positions (which would be hard to defend) because I see value in a developing team having decent goaltending for morale purposes, as...

Yeah looked fine to me until Boyes forgot he had a point to cover?

Give Rielly all the monies

Oh crap I take it all back...had the shot totals reversed because my brain couldn't process that they are actually outshooting them?

44/47=0.936 I haven't drank enough to screw up basic math yet...this hotel needs a mini-bar

Just need 19 shots against in the 3rd with no goals and it's all good man

Who else's scarred heart skips a beat when they take a short-handed slapper from their own blue line Also it turns out 5 beers is exactly the number it takes to move me from lurking to posting crap

Nice to see he doesn't just get free reign after taking one penalty, it was obvious he was taking advantage Even with eyes on the future gotta cheer against the Bruins, go Leafs

I'm lurking too but what is there to say other than Reimer put up another fantastic effort to lower the draft position but tonight the team was able to overcome

Hockey gods bless those of you that can stomach watching this. Seriously though, if viewership dropped to absolute zero MLSE would probably chicken out.

I've noticed Bernier looks very small when his positioning is even slightly off...do you guys buy his 6'0 on the stat sheet?  Like Kessel when you see a pic of him and Bozak (6'1) the difference seems way more than 1 inch... ie...

noooo

Wow you're in north bay me too visiting the parents...got satellite here so I'm witnessing this baseball meltdown before I switch to leafs game

I've also been big on the tank since the 9th place years...agree now that it's happening it's still sad and frustrating and I'll probably watch even less than when they were pointlessly gunning for 8th spot and an early playoff exit. Randomly drawing ALL non-playoff team picks with even odds...

Yeah that's where I'm at, it's on Burke and Nonis that the team is just getting to a proper rebuild now and Kessel had to go for the reasons outlined by others here (basically there is no upside to keeping him, either his value or the value of our picks next year would suffer). Ignoring the...

I know it's a complicated issue but when it put this way it just seems cruel... "We're going to intentionally drain all the experienced talent out the team to make the chances of winning as low as we can...but you don't you dare give up on any of these games that we are positioning the team to...

Trading him is certainly on the table but IMO unless the return is huge it really feels like selling low right now.

Wouldn't be surprised at all that now the trade deadline is passed (and they all looked untouchable because of injuries and horrible play) they turn it on and make a run to 9th or 10th.  It would be such a Leafs thing to do.
