people just need to slack off on the video games trades and consider other teams needs

Pfft I can easily trade Phaneuf a 2nd and Holland for Doughty.

Not the way trading works in the NHL, Sammich. If you posses a player you grow tired of you then try to hype said player up. Then you convince another team to trade you a valuable asset for said player before they realize the reason you've soured on that player. In one shot you have improved your team and rid yourself of a player you did not want anymore.

Addressing another team's needs is just stupid when you can do it that way.

Blackadder was great. Keeping up appearences also fantastic. Also recommended is The thin blue line and Father Ted

Other GMs dont watch the games. You just look at the "trade value" bar.

What's an Augello column without a Kadri bash?

(Carry on...)

It's really (frank)ing cold this morning

If franson will ony get a 2nd rounder, what's the point? Might as well sign him and move someone else instead. The likelihood of a 2nd rounder turning into a player a useful as franson is very small. Especially with the drafting record of this team.

In other news the Mogilny documentary coming out next week should be interesting! Defector on the 25th. Don't know if it's on CBC or Sportsnet.

A - I'll put my Leafs GM hat on for this one......not in a million years. Yandle is four years older than Gardiner, makes over $1 Million more and is not much better defensively. Kadri has the skill but has been labeled too small and not good enough defensively to play in the top six, those concerns are similar for the 5'9", 185 lb son of Tie, who has remarkable playmaking ability and speed. If the Leafs are to package both Kadri and Gardiner in the same deal, the goal would be to acquire that elusive top line center they have been missing since the departure of Mats Sundin.


Mike I love you brother...but that is a downright lie. When Yandle was 24 he was putting up an elite season and blossoming into one of the best offensive defensemen in the league. At 24 Gardiner is a tunover machine strapped to the pressbox not even providing much production.

Also the sad fact that Yandle is outscoring Kadri and Gardiner combined this season...

When I think of the precious little entertainment The Leafs offer, the top of the list is Kessel's play.

The media doesn't appear anywhere on the list.

Can't wait until the 2016 draft when they pick Alexander Nylander He's even skinnier and girlier!

I love the truth that Yandle is a much better defenseman in every single aspect (including looks) than Gardiner?
