Steen has played 9 yrs and has a total of 156 goals, not a bad trade, he has done very little for a long time.
- bixll

Stempniak never produced what Steen did when he was here and then we traded Stempniak for like a 6th rounder.

I'd much rather have Steen right now.

If there was a partying problem. It would be reported.

Remember what city you are in?

Mike Gillis firing just announced by vancouver
- davecervo

We only dream of things like that happening in toronto.

mcclement, bozak.
- Cherry--Skoal

Bozak is well down the list for me in terms of defense. I see lots of fans saying he's good. I don't see it. Overrated in that regard.

Send a message??What message that you are a terrible GM that wastes assets.


Why a 6th?? A lesser goalie went for a 2nd at the deadline.
- burn

Why a 6th? Because he's awful... he isn't a starter man, when are people going to realize this.

He's not an asset, no other team wants to trade for him..... end of story.

and whats the clarkson hit on the cap for the next 10 or so years from the buyout?
- Jurco_28

Worth not having him falling down and getting beat up for another 6 years.

but whyyyyyyyyyyyy he's such a great GM

I have friend who is friends with a guy who is very well respected in the Toronto Media , I can't tell you who that person is because it was said over a few beers on the QT

So don't say who you heard it from, but clarify what you said. It was pretty vague.

ok , Gary leeman & Al Iafrate all over again

actually i said move him for a centre, around his age. But whatever blows your hair back.
- clark_griswold

trade kadri for a center around his age

yep, there it is folks, the master plan.

well deserved.

I'm not sure why so muich change is necessary.

this team is young, cupboards are full of talent, proven coach.


Patience is the key. stay the course.

Ok, if you say so..... I'll chose to not listen to that nonsense and live in reality.

So don't say who you heard it from, but clarify what you said. It was pretty vague.
- burn

who on this team is partying... Kessel and Bozie playing Sega Geneisis? Reimer the ultra religious whatever? Or the other 15 guys that are married with kids? This guy is saying this because of the Lupul JVR Philly connection...

ok , Gary leeman & Al Iafrate all over again
- Adam_The_Golf

elaborate.

Yes! This team needs more dirtbags! Dirtbags win championships....I may sound like I'm being sarcastic, but I'm not.
- mykokes

Yep, Nonis would be dumb not to kick tires on some of these UFAs

Wrong.
Our biggest problem is we have players who dont work hard.
I like Kadri....but he is one of our only good trading chips. If RC doesnt get fired, I could easily see Kadri being moved.

The D guys coming up in our system wont be top 3 dmen. If we are stuck with a crappy number 1 dman, then lets get a quality number 2 to play for the next several years, so that our young guys are able to learn from him. If our prospects have Dion to learn from....than this team really screwed.
- Fakepartofme

so if you like kadri, and hes one of our only good trading chips, why not hold onto our best center and wait til his game has matured?

this team isnt anywhere near a contender, why are you moving your only pieces worth anything? makes 0 sense.

So don't say who you heard it from, but clarify what you said. It was pretty vague.
- burn

The team spends too much time getting high and playing COD. Everyone but Phaneuf, Lupul, Bernier and Clarkson who spend more time in the fashion district then practicing.....and reimer and nazem, who spend their free time getting into religious arguments.

All of this is made up, but in my head this is exactly what is happening right now at the ACC.

trade 23 yr old kadri for 26 year old kadri. Let someone else develop KAdri into something better.... we're fine with trading young talent for older more expensive talent who is better now , but may not be better 1-2 yrs from now.

Leafs.
- burn

so what did i miss?

point is, kadri was never a 2 way centre going back to junior in london. Little is just an example of a centre i use and in Barrie he was always good defensively.

Little wasn't playing PK first few years because they had guys like Holik, todd white, reasoner all as centres doing that job. Kadri will never be on the PK

Neither little nor kadri is putting anyone over the top, they are both 2nd line centres.

trade kadri for a center around his age

yep, there it is folks, the master plan.
- big_dion

Nope, 3 years older with lesser stats at the same age/development.

Improvement here we come.

trade kadri for a center around his age

yep, there it is folks, the master plan.

Why be like this ??? Having a bad day?

Leafs fans desperately hanging on to Playoff hopes:

You're looking for Phoenix over Columbus, Buffalo over Detroit, Florida over Philadelphia and St. Louis over Washington tonight.

And of course you guys need to win. To the best of my knowledge you can't be mathematically eliminated tonight.
