Deadline deal for JVR and perhaps for Kadri too. Bozak goes now.

If so, then why the hell would anyone who makes over $30,000 a year drive anywhere? I would rather suck farts out of a dead chicken than run that risk.

... and with the team in general. The fact is that we lacked leadership and accountability (Kadri was not alone in this regard) but as far as kadri is concerned, to earn the bigger bucks, there must be a demonstrable element of leadership and commitment. Mere talent is nowhere near enough...

Who knows, perhaps if we had taken back more contract - say $2M or $2.?M - we would have gotten Matta or Pouliot. Regardless of whether we were "owned" in the transaction, the fact is that we are rid of a player who loafed (I am being kind here) through the last half season (as did the entire...

More precisely it is a web of lies, pornography and advertising

Sometimes it's not the size of the boat, it's the motion of the ocean.

"Not Wu, WHO!"  --- Al Swearengin in Deadwood

Not so. Obviously they were so cancerous that Leaf management could not take the chance on even drafting them and thus traded out of that temptation.

The real question is whether Arizona has an arena.

Moi aussi. I don't mind the Pens, Kessel should excel with a real centre and without the spotlight as the team star player but the fact it he did not do that here and would never do that here. Kessel was always (IMHO) a platinum hood ornament on a Yugo as a Maple Leaf. Talented, yes, but...

TSN says Leafs are retaining 15% of Kessel's contract and that we also traded away a 2nd round pick. If so, we gave up too much and got too little. I hope that is in corrects as I would not want to lose a 2nd round pick.

And just who might Mr. Hunwick be?

That's what happens when you trade down, you let others take priority. We should be thrilled we got Travis McDermott. :o

Shrewd? I don't think so. Maybe the first trade down was a reasonable move but the second one was unnecessary and ill considered. Trading down in a top heavy draft is not a sign of genius. Only Boston fared worse than we did yesterday (apparently turning down a higher pick in order to make...

Forget that, Leafs have no intention of trading anyone off this lamentable roster.

I concur. While I appreciate having more picks and I get the fact that we had no second round pick, I am far less than impressed with this effort tonight. All we heard for the last 4 months is a scrub down to the stud rebuild. Oh, all the trade, all the deadwood and slackers that would be...

And it depends if you sleep around

Damn, I so badly want to check them both. Indecision may or may not be my problem

Value is the question and I concur that Phaneuf is reasonably priced as ar as his contract is concerned. If, as it appears, some GM is going to pay Franson somewhere north of $5M per year on a multi-year deal, then IMO, Phaneuf is a bargain. Considering what (I hope) Mike Babpenis (I am...

Not quite 100%.... I would take Provorov over Hanifin. In fact I was surprised he was not included in the poll.
