Why are we giving more fodder for the rest of the league to make fun of us with?

Or no?

Woah.  CBJ

Karma is repaying Winnipeg with the 2nd overall pick.  :)

Congrats Leafs fans!

Thank God.  They didn't screw it up.  Welcome Auston!

What do you guys think of this? "RUMOUR: The Toronto Maple Leafs have Reportedly offered the Columbus Blue Jackets James Van Riemsdyk, a Prospect and the 31st & 72nd for their 3rd Pick. (Source: NHL)"

Agreed.  The Vancouver riots would be nothing compared to what would go down at ACC.

LOL

That was intense and makes me even happier we are getting him.

Well we could just be ruining another goalie that had elite status potential.  ;)  We need to sign an Ed Belfour who would not get crushed mentally by this town.

I personally don't like this trade at this point in time.  The trade is ok.  Giving up another 1st and 2nd is a bit much and he's a decent goalie but not (yet) elite.  The trade assets exchanged are ok like I said but I think we didn't need him this year.  I guess we better sign Stamkos now...

I dunno.  I think all buttholes stink.  ;)

I live in the US and it's ridiculous.  I own a shotgun but that's for self-defense but would gladly give it up if guns were outlawed.  But yeah what you're saying is ridiculous.  Stopping a guy with an assault rifle with a hand gun?  Good luck with that.  You'd be mowed down so fast, you...

When I say throw away I mean that we're not expecting to make the playoffs.  The next season will be about gaining experience for the young kids and evaluating lesser prospects to see what we have.  So I'm ok with putting all our defensive prospects out there and if they make mistakes, that's...

Aside from Nurse, that's some weak d they have in Edmonton.

Just like in the Stamkos thread, it's hard to say.  They could all flop or they could all be good to great NHLers.  So we can go ahead with the defense we have and continue to stockpile.  Next season is another throw away season so we can let them get out there and learn trial by fire.

I totally agree with you here.  Being able to acquire an elite 1C center who is proven without giving up a top draft pick or blue chip prospect is like winning the lottery.  You don't say to the lottery officials and say "Sorry no I won't take this lottery money because I have enough and may...

Regardless of what the feeling was at the time of the trade, after seeing his play, I think he has a lot of potential.  He skates above average and makes nice plays.  He has offensive abilities as well and doesn't shy away from the physical stuff.  He could turn out to be the diamond-in-the-rough.

Yes but we could make our top 6 even better by moving Kadri or Nylander over to wing with the addition of a 1C like Stamkos.
