Is Dave Nonis the worst GM in hockey? What an idiot.

Oh lord.

[havok24]

I love how this organization seems content with just rolling 3 lines every game. Why the f*** did they even need to sign Orr and McLaren. No 4th line minutes to guys who can actually play effectively for 5-10 minutes a night. Face punchers ftw!! Edited September 2, 2013 by havok24

[havok24]

Easy solution. Become a fan of the jets, good core, team headed in the right direction.

 

Don't they need to upgrade on Pavelec? The Jets should try to acquire Reimer. Nonis is a moron, so you might get him for some scrap heap. Maybe some 4th line face puncher.

[havok24]

Nope, we have him signed until the end of the 2016-2017 season. He still has a lot to prove though, but I don't think we are looking for an upgrade ATM. Reimer might be a good fit for marketing, since he's from Manitoba. But that's about it.

 

To be honest, I thought the Jets goaltending was their downfall last season. I really don't think they will go anywhere as long as Pavelec is their starter. Reimer would be a definite upgrade over him though (Not that I want him out of Toronto).

Dreger "I believe James Reimer is a #1 goalie but the Leafs' collapse in Game 7 could have been avoiding if Reimer made some big saves"

 

HAHAHAHA f*** you Dreger!

[havok24]

HAHAHAHA f*** you Dreger!

 

Does that f***ing moron need to watch the regular season or game 5 for that matter? There was a pretty good chance if Reimer doesn't make that unbelievable save on Bergeron in game 5, that is was lights out for the Leafs. f***ing hate how quickly people trash Reimer for one bad period, and seem completely oblivious to what he did prior to that.

I Would be open to join a seperate keeper league as well, only if it was a 16+ team league though

Rumours out there stating that Burke is heading to Calgary. Interesting.

For shiggles: the best current All-Undrafted Team.

 

Honestly, it's actually pretty good, IMO.

My opinion? Among forwards:

 

Dupuis and Purcell are too low

Klinkhammer and probably Aucoin are too high

 

Among dmen:

 

Girardi is way too high; Lovejoy is probably too high, too

Giordano and Michalek are too low

 

But that's beyond the point. Quite the rosters.

That's interesting. I would have thought goalies get better with age. But, if you look at it this way... Younger goalies usually don't get a chance to start in the NHL though, only the most talented of them would get the chance. Which means the ages 21-24 would only have goalies that are performing good, because the bad ones are kept in the minors so there wouldn't be goalies dragging down the average SV% for the younger ages. But the middle aged group 28-34 would have more "established" goaltenders which would be given a longer leash even when they are not playing up to par. These players here would be dragging down the overall average SV% for that age group.

This is the reason why Tom Tango (or Tangotiger) is looking over the data and going to adjust for selective sampling bias.

Oh I see. I didn't see that part. It would be interesting to see the curve of only the players that actually started playing in the NHL when they were 22-23 and how their SV% changed throughout their career.

Leafs rookie tourny starts tonight, 7pm on local rogers channel.

Bovada just shut down the bets on the Maple Leafs (+/- 96.5 pts). LOL

Leafs sign Mason Raymond on a PTO. Interesting.

Omg him over Colton Orr every night would be so nice.

[havok24]

Yup.

[GD]

He's not worse than 8 Leafs wingers. He'll earn a spot.

 

Leads wingers that include Frazer McLaren, Colton Orr, and Tyler Bozak.

Bozak is a center.

Bozak is a center.

 

Didn't we play him on the wing at some points during the year last year? Might just be on the power play / might just be my s***** memory but I feel like he played a bit of wing as well.

If you can sign him at the very cheap, I'd love to add him.. nothing to lose.

Raymond - Bolland - Kulemin would be a good 3rd line, but of course there's Randy in the way there. GOTTA START DEM FACEPUNCHERS!!1

We can make 2 great 3rd lines with this roster.

He played center more then anyone on the team last season.

 

I think he took something like 400 more faceoffs then the 2nd ranked guy.

Is there anyway we could get all 3 of them (Kadri, Franson, Raymond) under the cap? f***ing hell with Nonis and his cap management this summer. I'm guessing Raymond would come cheap around 1M?

Oh, then I'm just a moron lol, carry on.

What is cap space?
