Not just about money.

And you think him holding out gets him more money? He makes no money while holding out.

He caved and signed a bridge and then he got his long term contract at value.

I don't get your stance here. Pk Suban doesn't seem to fit your point.

The Calgary Phaneuf!

Double dion!

I think you're missing the point..

Leafs will pull a buffalo..... Finish last, lose lotto. Unfortunately there is no eichel this year.

Still need more high picks though. The top 5 next year doesn't look too shabby. Granted I know almost nothing about them, haha. Seems like a good mix of quality players though. I'm willing to bet that between Tkatchuk and Jones, whomever plays LW for the Marner/Dvorak line could end up getting top 3 consideration. That should be one of the better lines in the OHL no matter who plays the left side.

The sabre going after him, weak. If you're going to do that why bother.

I sure am. Pk Suban no holdout, you used as comparable.

Mathews not a holdout, but apparently he's proven to be.

I'm willing to bet GARTH will lead a charge of Sabres fans beaking about how Phaneuf went after a young player. If the kid's suited up, on the ice, and carrying the puck he should know he's a target.

Oh definitely.

The brown kid too. He's a monster and poised to have a huge year.

That's racist, Burn.

There's an acute lack of skill in our lineup.

Nothing illegal about the hit.

I just want to (frank) his face.

Reimer looks better than Bernier.

I don't know how Mathias scored as much as he did last year. Gez. He looks terrible. If he keeps this up he'll be bouncing down the lineup in no time.

What makes Eichel's shorty all the more noteworthy is that it shut the mouths of the thousands of Leafs fans in the house. Leafs wish that they had a superstar like Eichel, and Reinhart, Kane, O'Reilly, Ristolainen, and others for that matter.

Oh, how I love to watch the Leafs get raked by an 18 year old magician who has more sorcery in his twig than Harry Potter!

This freak show could have been yours, Mike Babcock. You chose Toronto over Eichel and Buffalo. Regrets much?

Bernier started out well. Fell apart later on. He's a Leaf, it's what they do.

Sabres gonna be a pain in the arse years to come
