Does your Woman crap on you for being disinterested in unimportant crap?

Still, for PIT to get Kessel (and TOR retaining 1.2M) without touching their roster, keeping both Maata and Pouliot... pretty impressive.

We'll, in fairness, it was a good thing we didn't touch their roster. We aren't trying to win now.

Is it related to stress. I know women say we don't care about anything, except working, earning, fixing stuff, providing every luxury and making sure our kids don't go without anyway. So maybe we don't stress about what colour we paint the bathroom or what shirt we wear out in public, but we still have some stress.

don't think so, it's hereditary

The only other play we had would've been to keep him around, see if he has a bounceback year and maybe move him at the deadline, but with the NTC, the reputation, the cap hit/term, we had no options.

Still, find it hilarious how Phil was worthless less than 10 hours ago and now PITT just netted Mike Bossy for Daigle.

I'm just happy to move on from him. The guy had a rough deal here, but i'm glad he's moved on.

Leafs fans wanted culture change. Well, it's arrived.

Kessel brought everything on himself in Toronto. He was an bumhole who put himself well above the team. Maybe he'll be different in an established environment like Pittsburgh but Leafs did well to unload this guy.

I think PITT was our only dance partner, sadly.

Term, cap hit, rep, buy-low... we should honestly be thankful for what we received (now that the ragey beers have worn off from this afternoon).

I believe they were, but we should have been able to secure the 1st rounder at least if we are retaining salary. Maybe even grab another roster player yo flip at the deadline or something.

Just about all the time. But in fairness, I do female dog about it later if, for example, the paint colour sucks.

It's your right if you paid for it.

- DoubleDown

Why do you think he was an bumhole? I'm no defender of Kessel but that's a bit severe.

Starting to come around to Kapanen too: you listen to Dubas and he's positively giddy in the interview today when talking about Kapanen and Harrington.

Gotta remember, this kid's been playing with men for 3 years and he's not even 19 yet. Did pretty damn good in the AHL playoffs too.

He might be ready sooner than Nylander.
- gravyface

Yup. Can't wait to see these kids in camp. Or even at the rookie tourney.

We both make good money, the issue of cost or payment is rarely an issue, to be honest.

The first half of your first sentence sums 99% of Leafs fans up.

I wouldn't have minded a Beau Bennett......or a Brandon Sutter instead of Nick Spaling though. Might have fetched us another 1st at the deadline.

Will the Leafs reach 20 points next season?

Yea this is true, but we didn't have much leverage to ask for too much unfortunately

I've seen Harrington play live, I think he's a real good pickup.
