The people who compare him to Chara are the ones who criticize him for not being Chara
- sbroads24

IMO people need to stop comparing him to anyone.

Chara and Pronger he'll never be. He plays nothing like them at any point of their careers thus far.

Murray on Armia

"He was outstanding," Murray said. "He's everything I heard he wasn't.

"He's not a shrinking violet, he's not a lazy player. He's the opposite."

The biggest issue concerning Armia: his physical strength. "His leg strength, his core strength," Murray said.

There are some maturation and development similarities between Armia, Buffalo's first-round draft pick in 2011, and Ottawa Senators center Mika Zibanejad, Murray said. Murray knows Zibanejad well since he was Ottawa's assistant general manager when the Swedish-born forward was drafted sixth overall in 2011. Armia was chosen 10 picks later.

"His first year, he got sick, he got hurt; some nights he could hardly get up and down the ice," Murray said.

Zibanejad just completed his second full season in North America, scoring 16-17-33 in 69 NHL games for Ottawa.

"The American League is a difficult league when you've never played there," Murray said, adding that Armia's inconsistency "was nothing out of the ordinary. "I thought he showed flashes of top-end talent."




Murray on Mikhail Grigorenko

"I've got an open mind on him," Murray said. "I think next year is when he shows us what he is: a top prospect, a good prospect or a middle prospect."

Top, good, or middle, no bad.

He did make Pronger his female dog in the playoffs that was great ..

Top, good, or middle, no bad.

I think someone reported here the other day that he had been working out quite a bit and was looking to come into camp and make a statement?

Which at this point I agree. However I wouldn't rule out Myers having an exceptional career if he continues to play how he did last year.

And he was drafted at what, 200 even, I believe?

Myers is Myers.


He make snow angels while guys blow past him far to much for my liking.

That said, you don't move him unless you're blown out of the water in a deal.

Well said and I agree 100%

He played like a #3 d man on a contender for that nice stretch

looks like i wrong he was 191 when we drafted him ..

Good to see.

He's the only one that's going to break the reputation that he's a floater.

Mikhail Grigorenko - jun 30th

Training for a month already, 219lbs and pretty much in the best shape of my life, just the beginning!!)))

He's really starting to slip, as far as when people talk about our top prospects.

If he were to become what we all thought he would be when he was drafted, it's almost like a bonus at this point.

It would be huge, and could/would change the way TM perceives things, in so many ways, going forward

If he could turn it on like ryan johansen holy poop that would be huge

If anyone cares, I found some pictures I took at what I believe is the Blue/Gold scrimmage

I think more people write off Armia than Grigs.

It's amazing that, after one season in the AHL, Armia is already a bust.



Good thing Murray is in charge.

i think Armia will be way better then vanek ever was ..

According to numerous reports, Nonis had a deal in place with the Islanders for winger Thomas Vanek, who was not going to re-sign in New York after being acquired from Buffalo in November, but the Leafs did not have the room under the cap to fit Vanek’s $5.75 Million salary.

What was it for a 3rd round pick .. that might be a 2nd if they made the playoffs

i think Armia will be way better then vanek ever was ..
- GERBE!!!75PTS

Definitely has more skill, and likely more will and hustle. Vanek had his skill, but he just did what he had to to put pucks in the net. Armia has the legendary "silky mitts" and a deadly shot to boot.

as a two way player, not hard to be better

not sure he will get that nhl scoring touch though


vanek was exactly what the suck sisters stood for

great talent, lack of focus and drive

for a 5 minute stretch he would turn your head 6 ways til sunday, then for 5 games you wonder why he got paid 50 million
