I wonder how high it is with both Gally's playing in the show.....
- golfingsince

Not very, which was Symber's very long and drawn out response...

Meh. They went from 25th to 10th after only one draft. All the players that apparently got them over the top are only 18 or 19 right now, and the Bulldogs suck balls, it was painful to watch. Yeah, they still lack depth.

injured for a while, not having a good year.

That's great..........

The Maple leafs are ranked 20th....if they were catering to the largest fan base they would be ranking them higher..


It was more of a joke but It would be awesome to see him and Galchenyuk play together
- RyanZabizewski

And last year they were 10th! They only added 2 first rounders last year and not 5 like the Habs.

They were brutal. Blunden is their best player, and Tinordi scored a goal after the goalie sent the puck in his own net

Yes but it includes Gallagher and Glachenyuk who are already with the team. I was talking about what else is left....not much

Tinordi (5th-6th D potential)
Beaulieu (still needs work, possible PP specialist)
Dumont (4th line guy)
Kristo (who the (frank) knows, could be UFA this summer)
everyone else is in Jrs....still a few years away.


oh...don't forget our best blue chip prospect in the AHL.....Pateryn

Why so down on Tinordi. Remember the bigger dmen usually take a bit longer to develop. Ottawa chose Redden over Chara

Tinordi has NO offense.... He is Hal Gill but a bit more physical.

I think they dropped because the took out Gardiner off the prospect list and colborne dropped hard.

I think Tinordi's potential is more like what we would have liked Komisarek to become. An "elite" defensive defenseman with a mean streak, a decent first pass and captain material.

Soo... a 6'7'' Bouillon

I would take an Adam Foote like player with size.

Could you at least leave that little bit of glory for stormey please?

With all that development time Boris Valabik must be a BEAST by now!

I hope he can skate better than Hal

8. First-Line Forward/ No. 2 Defenseman / No. 1 Goaltender – players with definite skill that might be just a cut below elite status, but still possessing All-Star potential.

Defense: Dan Boyle, Duncan Keith, Kimmo Timonen
Forward: Patrick Marleau, Jason Spezza, Mike Richards
Goaltender: Cam Ward, Marc-Andre Fleury, Tomas Vokoun

7. Second-Line Forward/ No. 3-4 Defenseman / Journeyman No. 1 Goaltender – players not quite good enough to play on the top line or pairing on a regular basis, but still possessing enough talent to contribute offensively, defend with some authority, or competently play the goaltender's position for long stretches.

Defense: Filip Kuba, Christian Ehrhoff, Henrik Tallinder
Forward: Andy McDonald, Ryan Malone
Goaltender: Chris Mason, Dwayne Roloson, Mike Smith

Tinordi is raked as a possible 7.5. Probably more of a 6.5

And i still believe he is very overrated and could be Komisarek 2.0...

Maybe. See edit

Not really, that's the best part...

Stephane Laporte ‏@laportestephane
Il parait que pour rejoindre le Canadien, Ryder va prendre un avion en papier.

I hate Laporte, but

So the habs make a deal for ryder, and the leaf fans on the thread are making a big deal by becoming stormey...YES!!!!

So Gainey is in Dallas?

Go figure...

Great. I love it when most of your recent 1st rd picks don't pan out.
