Hey. I am new and here is what i think.
Phaneuf: He is not my favorite, especially his new contract, but I do not think they could replace him right now. The 7 years was stupid because within about 2-3 years there top 2 will be Gardiner-Rielly. So right now it might hurt to not have Phaneuf but in the future it will really hurt to have him and his 7 million cap hit for being a 2nd pair D-man.

Kadri: Trade him if they want I really would not care as long as they get a return that will be an upgrade.

Bozak: He dose not deserve all the money he gets (my opinion) but they needed him because Kessel only seems to want to play when Bozak is playing.

Bolland: Lock him up for a couple years. McLement: 2 year deal, not too much $ though.

Fraser/Ranger: Fraser should be sent to the AHL for speed. Ranger will start playing soon I think, in my opinion last night was his best game so far but most other games he has played like a pylon.

Gunnar/Keuli: Gunnar is a solid #4 I think. Keuli is a good 3rd liner and i think he is having a decent season.

Raymond: I can't see him as a Leaf past this year, he will want to much money and will probably get overpaid by another team.

Reimer/Bernier: Keep them both. The Leafs are a goalie factory. I am more comfortable when Bernier play though.

Clarkson: He is probably a third liner right now. He just is not playing like he did in New Jersey.

Lupul: He is always getting hurt.....

Orr/McLaren: They just don't wanna fight it seems like.....

Canada is. I'm just a little tired of the massive overhype around this tourny every year.

Any international hockey not named Spengler Cup or WC is life or death to win for Canada...

Phaneuf deal isn't official yet is it?

Kadri is not the god everyone thought, and bozak never deserved all the ripping he got on here. Just saying (what i've always said). Need the win on Jan 1 for sure to start climbing.

Let me guess, he's a Hab prospect?
- gravyface

He's also Canada's best option in this tournament.

No but it was reported as 7mil for 7 years.

Yes. Just didn't hear if it actually went through

Including this would turn this deal into a complete fiasco.

Reilly/Gards will never be a 1/2 pairing.

Every deal in the NHL these days needs one.


BUT THE PLAYERS ARE CATTLE

There is going to be something like it. I am pretty sure it is a limited NTC.

Reilly/Gards will never be a 1/2 pairing.

- IRON.MAIDEN

Maybe not the two together, but they will be the best 2 D.

Haven't seen him around in a long, long time.

A horse and a garbage can would be the 2 best D on this team currently...so to say R and G will be the best in 2 years out of this current group is a pretty obvious statement.
