I don't like the top of this draft. If that trade happened... Ugh.

[havok24]

Brutal if that happens.

[BTS]

I really hope that trade happens.

[jays_fever]

Hockey shouldn't go till mid june, too long in my opinion.

 

Yea if you arent a huge hockey fan, you really dont care anymore at this point.

[GD]

Leafs could be interested in Thornton.

[Fearthedoc]

Probably the best NHL playoffs I've ever seen in my life. 7 overtimes this series maybe.

[Dylan]

Congrats Kings!!

 

I still think the nhl playoffs drag on too long

Should be best of 5 until the cup final. I doubt it will ever happen with the money they make on the games.

[GD]

Do they sign Paul Stastny to 7/42?

[dineke]

NHL draft and Free Agency should provide some excitement for the Leafs. Do they trade up? Do they keep Bolland?

 

Always exciting to watch a train wreck.

[GD]

Not happening, he wants too much money.

I take it these people have no concept of salary cap limitations? As I understand it, Phaneuf is pretty s***** and being able to lose his contract is a plus on its own?

[GD]

There aren't plans, but there was discussion about moving Gardiner to forward. Thoughts?

 

Hey, if it doesn't get him traded

[Dylan]

Leafs, Kulemin appear to be parting ways

[G-Snarls]

Gerard Gallant (whom I've met - great guy) former head coach of the Memorial Cup Champion Saint John Sea Dogs now head coach of Florida Panthers.

[BTS]

Leafs, Kulemin appear to be parting ways

 

I predict that this ends similarly to the Grabovski and MacArthur situations.

[GD]

That great line is completely gone

 

Because of course

[Dylan]

Would you guys suggest overpaying for kulemin then?

[GD]

Maye fire Carlyle then ))))))))

[BTS]

Nope, doesn't fit Carlyle's type of game. Would rather put money towards Bolland and Komarov.

 

When skill and puck possession don't fit your coach's style, you have pretty significant issues.

[labadee]

Bolland is asking for way too much. I'd rather have kulemin and komarov

[Inklink]

Sucks to see Kulemin go. Longest serving Leaf on the team I think. Too bad he doesn't seem to fit under Carlyle. Going to miss the guy if he's gone

 

That said, I don't mind a bottom-6 overhaul. Get rid of Raymond, McClement, etc. Get some Marlies in (D'Amigo!)

[GD]

Players who fit Carlyle's system: Colton Orr, Frazer McLaren, Tim Gleason, Jay McClement

 

Players who don't fit Carlyle's system: Nazem Kadri, Jake Gardiner, Mikhail Grabovski, Clarke MacArthur, Nikolai Kulemin

 

Players who are good at hockey and fit in Carlyle's system:

 

Wonderful.

[Dylan]

The LA Kings signed Marian Gaborik to a seven-year contract, the team announced Wednesday.

[GD]

Lol @ Bolland's demands. f***ing nuts. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

[BTS]

Isn't Bolland like a fairly pedestrian 3rd line C?

[BTS]

Can you blame him for asking that? Remember, David Clarkson.

 

Good point. He also has that "playoff warrior" tag that the NHL can't seem to rid itself of.

[GD]

RESIGN BOLLAND 5/35 AND LET KULIE WALK f***IN EUROS LETZ GET SOME ROUGH HARD CANADIANS IN HERE EH BOYS THERE YA f***IN GO YA GENOS f***IN RIGHT EH BAUD

 

At least they're laughing at Reilly deals. Although if they trade Gardiner, I'm finding a new team until Nonis is gone. That could be fun tbh.
