The tanking talk is so tiresome.

Is TM giving us the best chance to finish last and get the Franchise player we need. As he 100% should.

Nolan and the players are still trying. They aren't trying to lose. Nobody is telling them to let in goals. If that was the case, sure that's 'bad" but that's not what's going on.

TM is doing what he has to do and so are the players and coaches. Simple.

So they called up Grigs to sit in the press box? Weird.

He turned down an offer that included two 2nds


http://boston.cbslocal.co...offers-for-chris-stewart/

But even as far back as on the eve of the season, back in early October, the Bruins are believed to have offered Ryan Spooner and a second-round pick for Stewart.

- Sabresfan-365[Sabres GM Tim] Murray decided to wait for a better offer. And again, the Sabres GM could very well have got that better offer in other years, it just didn’t play out that way this time.


GOOD! I HATE BOSTON! Glad we could help out our Farm Team in Minny, They did give us a 1st for Gaustad While Boston took Vanak out in the playoffs!

I'm not saying it's not true, but when the term 'believed too" is thrown around I wouldn't take it as fact.

Do you like this as a Leaf team member (or Toronto fan). Or is it out of line?

He just got back from injury and didn't look good in his first game back from what I read.

Get him up here with the big team as sort of a good faith gesture and get him back into game condition and play him when he is ready

This is what I say will be his demise.
The guys arrogance that he can do better burned him then and burned him yesterday.

Toronto media is terrible, on that I agree with Phil.

Otherwise, he's a petulant fatty with one dimension to his game and I hope we stay well away.

Darcy was notorious for overvaluing his players and not making trades because he thought he could get more.

I just think it's lack of experience. Luckily for him nobody will really care if he "loses" a trade involving giving away marginal ufa's.

He's gotta hit it big in the draft though, that's his speciality

If I were a Leafs fan after all the crap that has been said about the team and certain players I appreciate him standing up for his teammates but it is about 4 months too late IMO.

Kessel can come here but only if he brings his sister so I can take her out for a nice seafood dinner and never call her again.

You call it arrogance I will call it holding out for a better deal...kind of like Darcy in that way

Moving Stewart back then when he was struggling would have been a move that would have been chastised. He has since turned his game around and his value should have increased but it took too long to happen.

Not getting Spooner is not getting burned as I don't think he is anything more than a depth guy if at all he could be a tweener between the AHL and NHL for his entire career a Matt Ellis 2.0 if you will.
