Yeah, it sounds like his skill is already at the pro level. It can't be bad having a close option available though, Biggs and D'Amigo ended in the O', when they couldn't stay in the A'.

Sure, but I don't think it was all players and there are a whole lot of variables that go into these things I think. Like I said, it's hard to quantify, but I see some of the things management appears to see. It's not like Carlyle is getting a free pass here either, I think he'll be on a very...

Could be some of that also. I hated that the Leafs were a team lately that turned it on in the last 2-3 minutes of a lot of games, when the 20-30 minutes previous was kind of pond hockeyish, even in the games that they started off well and strong in. Obviously, the latter part bugged me most, I...

Maybe competitive was the wrong word. Management calls it "compete level". Consistent could be a better word. I suppose experience comes in there somewhere also. It's hard to quantify something like that, but I just felt that the same effort wasn't there all the time and that, for what I...

Keep in mind that players also have their own, non-Leaf related reasons also. Take Brian Boyle for example, apparently the Leafs were there, but it was his desire to make his family happy that he chose another place to play, not because he didn't want to play in Toronto. While the media has...

The Leafs certainly weren't as bad as their final 15 or so games were played. However, I agree in principle with what Busta is saying, it indeed does always even out and I think where the Leafs ended up is where they should have based on their total body of work last season. Do I think they...

Moss and Winnik for me also. But I wouldn't mind taking a shot at Santorelli as well.

Maybe get Komarov/ Holland/ Clarkson to hit and cycle the puck and wear teams down. All three of them can pick corners I think also.

You have to think that everything didn't go their way today either. I'd like to know what we missed out on, but we rarely hear that stuff.

The could look at doing something similar to what I proposed in the Armchair thread and build some kind of deal around Reimer, Franson and Lupul to Winnipeg.

Lupul/ Kadri/ Frattin I think they did it before, no?

I agree, that's what I thought also. I think they want him to play his game, but they'll give him more opportunity to score. I don't think it will hurt his defensive play, as he's just naturally gifted that way.

Yeah, he'll work.

I agree, but I really liked D'Amigo, he was developed to play that role in my opinion. If you wanted Frattin back, surely we could have used another asset that wouldn't have stung.

Given the kids a chance.

That's my guess also.

WTF?

I'd kind of like to see Brian Boyle still. Not so much Dominic.

Me too, I mentioned that earlier. You could tell he has a lot of talent as far back as his early Washington days. He was hard to play against also.

@DarrenDreger: Leafs brass meeting internally...designing at least 1 more pitch for Dave Bolland. #FAF
