I'm hoping Leivo will be an effective member of the Leafs going forward, the sooner he is introduced and actually playing the closer the Leafs will be to becoming a better more competitive team. Matthias has 5 Gs and 11 As in 50 games, he's -9, the Matthias experiment has ended, he's failed...

I watched Leaf Lunch today, they were discussing if TO won the lottery (ain't gonna happen, I know) what they might do. One suggestion was trade Matthews to Arizona if they were in the top five for Dvorak(Marner's center on London) and then draft Tkuckuk(sic)(Domi's replacement on London this...

I would think that if anyone meets the criteria of depth player, Matthias is it, continuing to play him to maintain his 4th rounder value seems hardly worthwhile, paying him 2.3 mil. is the classic definition of insanity. Trigger, Leivo has been recalled, stay with the program now. ;D

There you go an honest to goodness different opinion.

Do you think that Matthias' value would be affected by giving Leivo an opportunity to show his stuff, you don't think that anybody who might be interested in Matthias hasn't already formulated a opinion on his value because of what he's done in the last 50 games( nothing) or over the length of...

I hope you're right because if TO could get a 2nd and a 4th for Winnie, what is Polak worth, or do you think everybody except for stars are depth players?

I had no issues with Wilson, I did have issues with the quality of team he was given to work with. For instance TO possession numbers were better with Wilson that an rendition of RC teams and maybe on par with Babs' Leafs. Wilson encourages offense and responsibility together, with emphasis on...

I don't get this question as I plainly said that Polak is a top 6 d-man and therefore not a depth player, top 6 d-men play every game, depth d-men fill in when top 6 d-men can't play. Ideally on a superior team he's #5 or #6. Hope this clears up any confusion?

Exactly! For instance Carolina another talent void has an odd collection of forwards but a very promising young d. Peters encourages, maybe even insists that the d participate offensively in all zones, he doesn't rag on the d if they pinch and lose, he believes the forwards need to support the...

Joffrey Lupul reflects on a changing NHL, and where he fits in it http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/joffrey-lupul-reflects-on-a-changing-nhl-and-where-he-fits-in-it/ "?Some days I feel good and I think that I?m a good player out there, and other days my body maybe won?t let me do as much as...

I remember Gardiner in his first year before RC got his hands on him, that was a promising dynamic offensively inclined prospect. What we have now is a far cry from that player, what we have is a player who's style has been compromised by a coach who wants him to conform to his needs. Phanny is...

I see that.

I think they also mention that the closer to the TDL the greater sense of urgency/desperation, maybe McKenzie has a different opinion and maybe he did last year, who knows. If TO could trade Winnik for a 2nd and a 4th, then pretty well anything is possible. I believe all teams in the NHL will...

If you follow TSN and Sportsnet, Polak's name is constantly mentioned as TDL bait, he may not be as talented as Petry, that's debateable, but Polak's visibility is very high.

Even Babs says the best way to defend is to get the puck into the opposition's zone and keep it there.

Are you saying TO should only keep players until they're 25 or 26 or 27 then let them walk or trade them?

True but all of them need to be resigned and I think now is the best time to make a decision on all of them.
