Similarities? Both highly regarded (around here you would have thought Raycroft invented the position, he was a Calder winner don'tcha know!!) but based on too small a sample size. Raycroft, if anything played more regularly that did Andersen. Boston had already signed two goalies and Raycroft...

I am not so much bent out of shape as I am concerned that this is the wrong move at too high a price when it was unnecessary to do so. I am puzzled by the history of trading for a part time goalie on a reasonably successful team with the expectation that he will be able to translate that into...

Trade for a goalie and then sign him immediately to a long term contract. I have seen this movie before and I don't like how it ends. Beyond the obvious historical parallels, IMO we have not developed to the point at which we needed to do this. Next year is going to be about the same as last...

Sign and trade was mention a few posts back. Sign and trade deals are NBA transactions under that league's CBA; they really do not occur in hockey because they confer no particular benefit. The NBA allows a team to re-sign it's own free agents for more money than other teams in the league are...

I don't know if JVR has the same cache as does Lucic but I don't think JVR has the same cachet.

And so with the end of the turtle derby the hard part begins: beating Edmonton at the lottery. Tonight's game was by and large unwatchable. It should have had a "viewer's discretion" warning for this playing bantam and under. That said, New Jersey's final goal was a piece of work.

Stupid, stupid stupid. Season wasted. The Moronic Maple Leafs indeed. I am so disappointed.

Now is clearly the time to trade Kadri. After his hat trick, his value has never been higher and, sadly, his cost to the Leafs has never been greater. They can't even lose properly. Unbelievable.

Could be an expensive win come Draft day. :'(

It is not my intention to hijack this thread but rather than starting a new one, I believe this issue can find a home here. This lottery simply does not produce the intended result. This lottery structure was intended to minimize tanking. In practice it has accomplished the opposite. Prior to...

Well said.

Hardly. This is a trade that did not need to have been made. Why trade away a decent goalie for next to nothing, and to have to wait until 2018 at that? The pretext of being able to see the two AHL goalies is a sham. They have an idea what they have in Bibeau and in Sparks and they have ample...

Clearly a Panik move :o

You know, I just looked on the TSN website and the Leafs-Islanders game report shows that the Islanders have a mere 15 shots on the Leaf goal. They have 6 goals. I thought it had to be misprint Apparently it is not. So Bernier has stopped 9 and let in 6. Why do we have a goalie?

According to the Waterloo Record today, Bracco is now coming to the Kitchener Rangers.

Lamoriello - It's a bloody big deal

Well, it clearly means we will trade him to Pittsburgh in five years or so.

Agreed, I am fine with that. Pure Leafs fan.

Send in the Clunes Don't bother, he's here. 8) ;D
