Huh? You think ppg players are only worth 5.5 mil? Connolly was coming off of a season where he was on pace for just over 50 points, he is a big injury risk, and although he is regarded as a good penalty killer I highly doubt he is as good defensively at even strength as Grabbo.

A 60 point player who is easily the best defensive forward on the team is certainly worth 5.5 mil. Reading some of the comments in this thread shows how underrated grabbo is.

For the second year in a row Grabs is leading the entire team in +- and for the third year in a row leading the forwards in +- despite his line being used the most against the other teams top lines. Had he not missed any games he would be on pace for 27 goals and 62 points. As it stands he is...

He would've been on pace for around 55 points had he been on pace for a full 82 games, and that's playing with two ppg players,I don't know why you would consider that a legitimate number 1 centre.

It's because most of those points are against weak teams and he dissapears against good teams. Some scouts seem to be pretty disgusted with his character, I read a quote from a scout a few days ago that said something along the lines of "He's a complete dog, I wouldn't pick him if he was...

This.  Between him and MacLean it amazes me how some people actually had coaching/managing jobs in the NHL.

I've had this belief for awhile as well, regarding big, physical dmen being overrated. I believe this, along with his blocked shots numbers, is why Komi was so overrated, and Beauchemin to an extent, although he does seem to be capable of being a solid top 4 guy sometimes.

There seems to be a wide range of opinions on Phaneuf on here, so I'm curious to see what some of your opinions are on how good you think he is. In my opinion, he is not a legit #1 dman and isn't even close and never will be simply because he doesn't have the hockey IQ. On a team with good...

If there's anything I enjoy about the Leafs losing, it's the fact that I can't stand Burke as a person and I enjoy seeing him get all pissed off and defensive when he gets grilled. I also don't think he's all that great of a GM.

Lulz were brought.

Is it really? I didn't know Tavares' skating had improved that much, that's interesting.

I wonder how much a player can actually improve his speed, there seems to be differing opinions on it. Aside from technique, speed is all about fast twitch muscle fibres, and you would think that if people can significantly increase their vertical jump through explosive plyometric training then...

The once highly touted Schenn seems to have hit a road block in his development the last couple of years. Im curious to know what people here think his ceiling is and/or what they think he will ultimately develop into when he's reached his prime. I'm going to say that in his prime he will be a...

I should also add that he is blowing away everyone else on the team in Corsi stats this year.

Just to give you an idea of how good Grabbo is defensively, last two seasons in a row he lead the forwards in +- despite playing against the other teams top lines on most nights. Two years ago he was second on the team only to Gunnar who went on that + tear at one point in the season when...

That's some pretty ridiculous logic, to assume that because he battled cancer that now he's so much more brave than he was before and that his outlook on life has changed so much that it's changed the way he plays hockey.  If two sens players or two habs players had been named the most...

Well this is strange, there's a guy blasting Healy on twitter for insulting Sundin but nobody hear heard it or remembers it so I'm not sure what happened.

I'm sick and was going in and out of consciousness while trying to watch the game so I'm not sure if I was just dreaming or not, but I could have sworn I  heard Healy say something like the Leafs made the right decision not bringing Sundin back because ... and I thought he said something about...
