market will dictate that

GMs may be leary to give him long term money with his injury history

he will end up going to whomever is willing to take the gamble.. thats my bet.

Well with the Leafs trying hard to re-sign Bolland & Dave Bolland wanting to re-sign in TO, I'm cautiously optimistic about Bolland re-signing in TO.

Wanna bulid the team right? Stay away from trading for old guys who will cost you good assets & fuk up your salary cap. It may make the Leafs temporarily successfull for a few seasos but it won't bring a cup to TO.

it will be interesting to see which direction they will take it.

right now.. i think its anyone's guess

it will come down to $$$ with that player

I think Bolland can take his $$$ and go elsewhere


Although he stands only 6'0, Carrick had 115 penalty minutes which included nine fighting majors, a testament to his combativeness and character. When you also consider that despite his modest point totals, Carrick finished with a plus-17 rating, the highest among Marlies forwards, one begins to understand how well his game rounds out.

It was in the first two rounds of the 2014 AHL playoffs that Carrick's offensive game began to have a major impact. In the first series against the Milwaukee Admirals, Carrick managed three goals in the first two games, generating the type of offensive scoring depth the Marlies needed at a time when Holland and Spencer Abbott were not in the lineup due to injuries. Another indication of Carrick's evolution in the offensive zone during these playoffs is that he led all Marlies forwards in shots on goal by a wide margin – 40 shots after 12 games scoring five goals and four assists.

didnt know Carrick threw down as much as he does

i said yesterday, O Reily for Phaneuf

so you've got a shut down line that's gonna play 10 mins/game? chances are the line they'll be tasked with shutting down will be playing about 20 minutes. a shut down line needs to play big minutes.

2nd line goes head to head against top lines most of the time. 4th line is "checking line" I should have said.

but get mostly defensive starts when you need a stop. Competent defenders as opposed to 5 min facepunchers like Leafs have employed in recent years

Doesn't improve our defense.

Colorado will get better offers.

love it. good luck getting RoR to sign for a reasonable price when you trade the captain for him though... and he's instantly the front runner to wear the C.

- Aetherial

for a guy who's qualifying offer is 6.5 million?

a guy who scored just 64P? for 6.5 million?

dont be so quick to assume people are going to be lining up for him

4 - 0 Germany..

If Phaneuf gets traded your wish will be granted.

Finishing up 3 hours of GOT.

6.5 million for a guy who has broken 60P once in his career

thats one hell of a gamble imo
