(frank) me, some of these suggested line ups are just brutal... I wonder if half of these guys are the bastard offspring of Ballard and/or Milbury at times...

I wonder who painted it?

One moment..
Just the Painting and this poem,

"Ghost of the Past"

The fire rages on in the wings of my gypsy heart,
They burn on to never part.
To wander is a passion within,
In my veins it roams again and again.

I'm not unlike an animal wild and free,
My golden trinkets are like medicine to me.
I believe the wind belongs with my hair that is as black as midnight,
My eyes are like a glossy raven in flight.

In them burn the fires of my gypsy soul,
Unless you were the spirit within me you would never know.
You would have no idea of the ghosts from the past that live within,
And through me they always live again.

I need no country for the world is mine,
I drink from it's earth gypsy wine.
Upon it's ground I dance by the fire's glow,
And I release my wild and free soul.

ya, there really isnt much to offer...and the rink is a joke. Its artificial ice and about 30x30 square or thereabouts. Failed attempt...we went on the weekend to check out the dt scene, and it was empty

Any place called London automatically fails at things...

Sorry, I could not get past the first line, Lupul and a pick we don't have for a pending UFA.

We'll trade for the 2nd

- MaximusAurelius

Your location says Amsterdam... Are you posting from a local cafe by chance...?

eh..

Domi, Horvat and McCarron are 19, Anderson is 20, the Rupert twins and Tierney are all in their final season unless they come back as overagers, Stolarz their starter is 20, their blueline outside of Zadorov (19) and I think Jamieson on their bottom pairing are overagers.

They're probably the second oldest team in the tournament after the Forreurs who actually let their 17 year old soon to be star play.

London will be strong again because they'll rig the draft and pay players under the table to demand a move to them like they always do.

yeah but they got all the young guys ready to take over primary roles

does that mean that either a) Virtanen gets drafted by the Leafs and plays for 18 years until your kid also gets drafted or b) you meant Gardiner & Virtanen?

You forgot funnel money to overpriveleged kids to demand trades from the poopty cities they were drafted in like Plymouth or Erie, telling them to use the USHL as a threat.

Why? Most of us here don't know Jack...

If that happens, whose jersey do you buy him?

I have a gut feeling the Leafs are going to trade either Kadri or Gardiner this offseason around the draft. Maybe both.

My son is actually named after one of my best friends who died of cancer at the age of 31. As lame as the joke was, he would always make it. Miss him.

Sounds about right.

- systemtool

Nice of you to do that, I am sure your friend is with you guys....

Agreed, but we also live in a salary cap world and can't afford him. Might as well roll with Kadri and Bozak who are both younger and cheaper. I would love to add an elite center, but an elite center Stastny is not. If there was no cap, giddy up, sign and pay him whatever he wants... My issue is more than Stastny is being seen as a solution to our woes when in fact he isn't but would just make our cap situation more difficult.
- systemtool

way i see it, if you sign a good UFA centre, that makes someone else on your roster (be it a winger or a centre) expendable through trade, and you can use them to upgrade elsewhere on your roster. i'm thinking about it more in a big picture/general asset management sense. but there needs to be a pretty thorough plan in place in that situation.
