Brodeur is the sexy name. Myers is only 24, and is 6'8.

And it seems like no one is mentioining Myers
- RogerRoeper

You've been mentioning his name every day for 3 weeks. He isn't that good, he might turn out to be as good as Chara eventually, but keep in mind Chara worked his ass off to get as good as he is and there's no guarantee that Myers will. Just because they are both tall doesn't mean they are the same player.

Bloody face dude almost pulled it off.
- Woderwick

Gastelum or whatever is gonna mash this dude

id rather have gleason over polak...
- DougGilmour_93

oh (frank) no, youtube him having his way with clarkson, hes a Bear, better Fraser

I think Franson could be back but his trade value might be high enough to get decent return. Everyone whining about gunnarsson trade is hard to listen to. First, everyone is flipping out because gardiner might be traded. This deal makes room for him and rielly to play more significant role. Also, I do like having the presence of polak on the back end, the guy really sticks up for his teammates.

...still pumped we got Nylander at 8. Draft went as well as I hoped.

Polak has better mobility than guys on here think. He's a wiener to play against as well.

...he got destroyed by clifford and clowe.... gleason faced way tougher guys than polak

For the Gunnarson Polak trade; I don't think it's an impactful trade in most ways, I get that we wanted the right shot, but I still think we gave up the better player overall. I'd say Polak is a more ruggid Gunnarson who make more mistakes defensively but will clear someone from in front of the net.

I dont really think much of it but just im happy gunner is gone, would of rather just taken some 2nd rounders or something for him

I just don't get the Myers love , I'd trade for him if he was cheap enougn because he has decent potential but is a huge liability at this point.

Go the free agent route and get players for free but dont overpay and dont go for ass!

Gunnarson should not have been playing the minutes he was, he was very similar statistically to Georges who was also brought up in trade rumours, the only issue I had with Gunnarson is he was a huge wussy so overall he had to go.

I agree. I am getting a little tired of the extreme cynicism every move is scrutinized with. People here freaking out probably haven't watched 5 St. Louis games in the last two years. Gunnarsson is a good player, but we couldn't have his money allocated there with two studs in gardiner and rielly. The same money re assigned to a different need which allows us to address other needs with that money. Resign or trade Franson, hopefully bring back komarov and get some youth in the bottom two lines.

Money probably didn't have a heck of a lot to do with it, both have relatively low terms and cap hits.

Maybe not but it wasn't working. Not saying it was gunners fault but we needed to move someone. I hope this means gardiner or someone else will be getting minutes with phaneuf next year. Need to drive the play more with ph9 to optimize his skills

Gunner is a LH shot, Polak shoots right. I bet that had a lot to do with it.

It's pretty funny how most bruins fans seem happy with their pick, while leafs fans are pretty split.

Nylander actually played on the same team as the bruins top choice


Pastrnak 2013-14 Sodertalje SK Swe-1 36 8 16 24

Nylander 2013-14 Sodertalje SK Swe-1 17 11 8 19


I think Nylander is gonna turn into a top line player, he had an inconsistent year, but he is a top 5 talent

Probably due to the fact they chose around 25 and we chose 8. I'm with you I think we have got our selves a high end caliber guy here.

Gunnar's been playing with bum hip for the last couple of years too. Set him back. He did have successful surgery, but maybe the Leafs brass know something we don't know.

2013-2014 Toronto Marlies:
AHL 76 25 47 72 115 | Playoffs 14 6 8 14 10

If this guy could only translate these numbers to the NHL game.

Back from my Shanaban. Woooooo

In the ahl?
Similar numbers.... Too bad they were drafted 17 draft positions apart.
