"Bottom line is we are all but guaranteed a lottery pick. There were no good FAs out there, but the lack of trades ensures bottom 5 for sure. Even with the east and our division getting worse, its the same central core with less depth (didnt think it possible). Im not a pessimist, just a realist"

- clark_griswold

"So, being a realist, you think that a team that missed the playoffs because of poor defensive play, lack of passion, and losing their #1 goalie to injury, that has now improved their defense, and added guys who play with lots of energy, is going to be worse than they where last year(3rd best in the east prior to losing Bernier)- to the point where they are guaranteed a lottery pick.

Yup. Realistic. "

That's embarrassing. Gluck owes you an apology and a recognition that he knows nothing about the team he follows.

Take a first in next year's draft, hope Dion is actually as bad as Lou thinks he is.
- Feeling Glucky?

Next years first?
Nah forget that. Need to get this going at this draft or with a quality prospect.

Dion is really bad in his current role.

Make him a 2nd, 3rd, or 4th.....under 20 mins and no responsibility....he'll be fine.

Which karma wil ensure the leafs will get shafted.

The leas simply need to be so much better at scouting.
If the leafs had quality scouts the past 10 years. I dont believe we'd be where we are currently.
- Fakepartofme

I've had to forget anything before 2011 just to keep my own sanity. Since then, there's a few gems that look like they could become decent NHLers.

Hoping it means an overall improvement in player evaluation

Wait, maybe that might work
- Byfuglien Ate Me

Worked for Kevin Costner.

Dion could command a first or quality prospect...which Im hoping Nonis takes over a 1st.
I see what you are saying though.
Im really hoping the leafs forego getting picks and get quality prospects with a year or experience.
- Fakepartofme

i am fine with picks or prospects
Also...if the leafs end up 27th ... they have a 100% chance at getting either Mcdavid, Strome, Hanifin or Marner

i think thats pretty good

He'll be a red Wing. They'll find a way to make that deal happen

Guys on Leafs Lunch Ripping Horrorchuck and Bernier (well deserved)




I wonder if all these ads on TSN 1050 for the divorce lawyers are directed at the Bernier Wives??

What should have been done differently?

RC not Fired in the off season is my only complaint

no they will resign Zidlicky or go after Mike Green

Keep telling yourself that. They want to be rid of Weiss.. Not like the 1st will be anything special anyway.

Weiss and a 1st for Dion /w no retention

Add a prospect if we retain.

That's what it's going to look like. Sorry about your damn luck

Ahh you got me, it's UNDER 60% that's the fail.

You just hit the bar of mediocrity. You deserve a prize.

wake the (frank) up.

trade Weiss for what to take on a longer/poopter contract in Dion. Weiss is gone in 3 at least. dion ur stuck with for 7.

That's embarrassing. Gluck owes you an apology and a recognition that he knows nothing about the team he follows.

- bloatedmosquito

You owe us all an admission that you know nothing about the game you follow. Then maybe I'll provide one.

I wonder if Jumbo would waive his NTC if he knew his coach was coming with him?

Just a drunken thought from the other day

no they will resign Zidlicky or go after Mike Green
- wingz4life

The deal for Dion is done. He is just picking which colour crayon he is going to sign in.

Kevin Costner for Coach

- senstroll

Complaining about the Leafs only being bad for half a season is flat out idiotic. The management thought they had a playoff contender, we all agreed. The team is much better than they are playing now.

I agree RC should have been tossed but thats life.

Another wasted year.
Leafs have been the 2nd worse team in the league since January and will only finish with a top 4 or 5 pick unless there's a miracle.

Once again, the leafs cant even be successful at being crappy.
- Fakepartofme

What I said earlier annoy the impatient crowd, this cat's going to be one of them.

Dion is a better player.

Yeah it's true

No gluck is a good guy. There were way more than this and some were not so....curteous

Duh, that's why we are making the trade.

When it happens, let's circle back to this.

The deal for Dion is done. He is just picking which colour crayon he is going to sign in.
- markmark

to sign it he will have to fly to detroit. he wouldnt make it a block walking through that city. trade cancelled

Kevin Costner for Coach

Could he do worse,,, really ??
