I really, really don't like this trade. The only thing I'm taking from it is its a fresh start. At least I like the currrent management groups prospect philosophy.

And if they miss the playoffs in 2017 it's their 2nd rounder with no Leaf pick going back.

for real?

typical (frank)ing leafs thread...if you don't fit in with the losers who spend their (frank)ing lives on here you get shunned and made fun of.

my OPINION that the leafs got fleeced is no different than yours that they didn't...yet i'm the ignorant ass clown because i fall in the minority of the opinion. this is exactly why i rarely ever come on here to discuss with teens.

Well said.

Kananen was #22 in 2014 and Harrington was a 2nd rounder in 2012.
- 1979AD

So we did get 2 firsts and a 2nd back.

Happy Canada Day all... *poof*

*If Pittsburgh qualifies for the 2016 postseason, Toronto will receive the Penguins’ 2016 first-round draft pick; and the Penguins will receive Toronto’s 2016 second-round selection. The second-round pick would be the one Toronto originally acquired from Pittsburgh for Daniel Winnik earlier this year.

*Should Pittsburgh miss the 2016 playoffs, Toronto will INSTEAD receive the Penguins’ 2017 first-round pick; with Pittsburgh getting Toronto’s 2017 second-round selection in return.

*If the Penguins were to miss the postseason the next two years, Toronto would receive Pittsburgh’s 2017 second-round draft pick and Pittsburgh would not receive a draft pick.

I just read an interview where, when King was asked how is such a prolific writer he replied that he cannot remember writing many of his books!!!
- Beatle_john

He used to be an alcoholic. Maybe those days.

But he knows what makes a good writer and even wrote a book about it called "On Writing". So many of his books have references to other works of his, so it's hard to imagine he has little memory of what he's written. Who knows though?

So we did get 2 firsts and a 2nd back.

You're talking to the guy who poop talked Kapanen forever, don't have to tell me.

Coming from a Bruins fan?
Tell us more about you trading Seguin and hamilton
- ILoveLamp

I thought the Bruins got screwed in the Seguin trade too, BAD Chia-Pet was going to offer-sheet Hamilton so they got what they could I guess, but No not happy with that either.

So we did get 2 firsts and a 2nd back.
- Aaron_85

Yup. Apparently Kapanen was the #1 ranked Euro Skater in the draft, but Nylander went first obviously.

You're talking to the guy who poop talked Kapanen forever, don't have to tell me.

I was told I know nothing about those prospects when I said the deal sucked.

From a nameless mod.

lol

What's the skinny on him? Nice lips, small stature, tell us about his game!

I don't want JVR traded unless we get a gm who knows the art of trading. Clearly Dubas doesn't, Shanahan doesn't and Hunter is only a draft whore.

conditional first? as in its non-playoff protected, and it defers to the next year if pens miss or as in, there's no first coming our way if Pens miss....if this is the deal...I want to hurt someone.
- mykokes

it is... you really think the pens are going to miss the playoffs?

So they can sign Franson to 5+mill/yr and have a huge right handed D hole, and less of a salary cap to fill it

Don Sweeney. That is all.

He's just happy to see Phil go. From that standpoint, I can agree. I just never understood the rush. If he was 30, sure, but 28, he wasn't going to get worse. Not yet anyways.

And you expected rebuilding to be about veterans?

The dark tower series is insane, brilliant, phenomenal, a masterpiece, exceptional, fantastic etc.

Only one problem. The ending

And that was the only King ending I took exception to.
- systemtool

I was more referring to his short stories with no endings. They kinda scared me away from a 500+ page investment.

I'll check out Dark Tower though

If Burke had the sense to conditionally protect picks, Seguin would be the Leafs centre right now.

Honestly, if the LA Kings missed a year after winning the cup, anyone can miss.

Don't blame this on Dubas. He only does what his calculator tells him to.

Yeah no doubt....

Here's the thing.

The French Canadians are alcoholics because they're French Canadian.

The rest of the Canadians are alcoholics because we like our beer and like being drunk
