I'm fine with the deal.

But how did we not get their top prospect?

Why did we covet their potential 4-5-6 guy instead?
- Lee Denault

I don't think Pouliot or Maatta are going to be top pairing guys either. Maybe Maatta, but I think all three are 2nd pairing players. Just different styles.

I think kapanen was behind only pouliot and Maata
- ILoveLamp

kapanen is fine, im happy with that.

Maata they say isnt a prospect anymore. He's on the team.


I guess I wanted pouliot.

why do some men lose their hair?
- Sammich

Well, it has to do with the x chromosome...or the y chromo...

Agreed.....a long way from a top prospect, a number one draft pick and a roster player. Time will tell on this one. However, addition through subtraction is also something that was necessary. We still need to move at least one more core guy out going forward. My bet is Bozak. I think Lupul stays, because of his contract and Dion stays. If both perform well under Babd!ck, then they'll be moved at the deadline. The party has started and we're heading to the bottom, faster then the Titanic after hitting the iceberg. It's going to be a long winter.....pass the copus amount of alcohol!

Hopefully there's a few rookies that come in and make the team to make it interesting. Morgan Rielly is all i look forward to usually

Where did u see they might keep Phaneuf?
- ClarksonDavid

im not in the know...but the way Dion sounded on the phone.. the rumors of him staying by the insiders


it just doesnt sound like he is going to me.?

He still may...and he better.. or i might take a break for awhile.

Regardless of Phaneuf what you said at the end is for the best

I worked all day so haven't been following along to much I never seen his interview or anything.. I don't mind phaneuf but leafs have no use to him, I'd expect that management realise that.... I hope

you have more optimism than me...which is a change. But its seems so leafs that they dont want the core here...but keep the captain.

although steve simmons saus dion wants to be traded... although he is an ass hate.

there is a stink in the air.

Babcock likes him blah blah blah

I dont care if babcock likes him....

If Babcock has enough pull to keep a player who obviously needs to go, than signing a babcock was a bad choice.

Did we really have to give up the 2nd and retain ?


What's up leafy b!tches ?

Yeah I hope they move him but if people weren't happy with the kessel package.. the phone one won't be very good i don't think. I'll be happily suprised if I'm wrong though..

I really hate giving up the 2nd, but retain had to happen sounds like of leafs didn't retain salary Kessel wasn't getting traded, anywhere.

Pitt got a 30 plus goal scorer for 6.25M


Crazy.

Rumors of keeping Dion?

Hybrid rebuild?

That makes me sick to my stomach.



Dont be half pregnant. Gut this thing.
- Lee Denault

I'm not sure there's a market for Dion now? Where could he go?

Don't care. but you cant stay here.

Don't care. but you cant stay here.
- Lee Denault

you're right though it seems like there has been a shift in attitude. Based on what Shanny said today I think they're keeping him.

- Lee Denault

You make no (frank)ing sense.

Gotta go gotta go.

They go.

We retained. We lost a 2nd. Value this, prospect that.

Leafs gotta make some trades on D. It's a little crowded.

The Leafs just traded their best player, scoring leader for picks and prospects.

Conclusion: "this team isn't rebuilding, why hasn't Phaneuf been traded yetzz?!"

They don't call him Dumbass for no reason

What's the D even looking like anymore.. haha it seems like such a mess leafs have just been picking up random bottom pairing guys, got rid of Erixon I guess
