I certainly agree that kind of TOI wouldn't work for younger guys like Nylander/Brown - but for older prospects that are reaching fish or cut bait status, I would think 11 minutes (and over 2 minutes of PP time) would be a good test for a few guys in the system - not to mention the "intangible"...

That's my point. If he's just dead wood, then what's he doing on the team? Rotate some Marlies in for a some experience/minutes. Leivo is surely a good candidate.

Seriously?

That's my observation as well. Kadri looks pretty tired. Not surprising. For a team that essentially has to outwork the opposition to have a chance to win, there's going to be games like this, especially at the end of road swings.

I think the consideration was never gone, its about when his value is maximized. The longer he goes in season, the less painful the cap hit looks. I think he's likely to be moved if the Leafs don't have to retain too much, and get some sort of future back.

I don't get why Boyes is still playing on this team. Is it still realistic to expect a pick for him at the deadline?

Lackadaisical looks like talent when good things happen, but when having a bad night... sticks out. 

Burns! Exxxcellllent. Have the rolling stones killed. Do as I say!

I expect Rogers figured there'd be appropriate nationalism in the broadcast via the Home Hardware commercials.

Did Don just call Huberdeau "Humidor" ?  ;D

Wow, Don should be careful wearing that suit around african lion safari.

True. CBC had the hockey nostalgia and Canadiana down pretty well. Rogers has replaced it with pointy shoes and a plastic puck that has to be put in a slot machine to get highlights.

It looks to me like Bernier is really coming out of the crease to challenge the shooter over the last few games.

But in an entertainingly competitive fashion.

I see logic for a proper rebuild has gone out the window for some folks.

Bernier, Komorov, HM Grabner

If Bernier had played as well as even average prior to his last 3 games, we'd be in some serious trouble in the draft rankings.

Nice goal. Assists by trade bait, and again, easily replaceable role player.

Nice snipe. Easily replaced role player with the screen.

One thing I've noticed with Komarov, is that for a "role" player, he has remarkable playmaking vision. I've seen some really impressive plays with the puck, going through to last year. No doubt his shooting percentage isn't sustainable, and yes, he should likely be traded, but I think it isn't...
