According to LeBrun, the Leafs have been offer Khabibulin. No word on the price. He has another year left on deal, at $3.75M. His number in Edmonton haven't been great for the past couple months, but, he's shown glimpses of still being able to bring it. He does turn 40 halfway through next...

He is not as good as most of us had hoped when we got him. He is overpaid for what he does. But he is much, much, much better than the boatload of s**t that we traded for him.

Tim Connolly:  25 points in 41 games, +1 (playing primarily on the third line) Brad Richards:  35 points in 50 games, -2 (playing top line) If we are freaking out about having Connolly's contract for one more year, how would we feel if we were Rangers' fans?

Do you mean 15 IQ points higher or lower? Some of the trades proposed by so-called insiders trades are ludicrous.  I think that it is Dreger who keeps throwing in Kulieman in any potential trade for the Leafs to get bigger up front.  How could anyone with an IQ above room temperature (even in...

I think that it is in his contract that he is supposed to make saves.

I agree that Schenn and Komisarek are similar players.  Their lack of mobility makes them liabilities when the Leafs play against a fast team.  It is tough for the coach to match lines when you have two slow-fitted defensemen on the  roster.  Both have high cap hits.  One of them is expendable...

Anyone want to start a rumour that Ovie chickened out of the All Star Game because he was afraid that he would be picked last and Kessel would be snapping his photo with his cell phone?

It is interesting that the negotiations took place so quietly with no advance discussion in the media.    Makes me wonder why I waste so much time listening to the talking heads on TV who speculate on trades and signings that never happen?  Or, worse yet, reading Eklund! Any bets on whether...

I believe that we traded the Kaberle pick from Boston (30th) plus our second to select Biggs at 22nd overall. 

Maybe I am too much of a "half glass full" type, but in the midst of all the doom and gloom: a)  There is a big difference between having an old team on the fringe of the playoff race (see JFJ teams) and one of the youngest in the league playing at the same level. b)  Some fans and media have...

A few random thoughts on the potential of a one for one JVR/L. Schenn trade: I remember reading an article about the development time of players based on size when Joe Thornton and Sergei Samsonov were both drafted by Boston in the first round.  The author produce a a lot of evidence that clubs...

When you take into account that the Leafs are the youngest team in the league and the Red Wings are the oldest, this was a character win.

Liles cost a second round pick in the summer.  What would he be worth at the trade deadline? I am not recommending moving him, but he is the type of defenseman that will be in high demand and also provides a feasible option to clear cap space for another deal. 

Just tuned into the game.  Where is MacArthur?

This is just wild speculation, but did Toronto recall Aulie for the game in Anaheim to showcase him as part of a package?

There seems to be a consensus that Reimer must play well for the Leafs to make the playoffs. Let's not forget that the backup goalie is going to play between 20 and 30 games.  The difference between Gus playing 500 hockey or 250 hockey will probably mean over 10 points in the standings.  That...
