Does it really matter what we call it, I'll call it pumpkin from now on.

You run the risk of offending the Peanuts if you start going on about pumpkins, great great pumpkins.

Yes they can but, which is being proven before our eyes, some still call it tanking....annoys me

Tomato / Tomato

Bieksa got a 2nd because he agreed to sign for an extension.
- A_SteamingLombardi

Why did Sekera get a 1st and a prospect drafted in the 2nd round the year prior? He was a pending UFA.

D are highly coveted 9/10 years at the deadline, and generally any time of year.

We'll just have to agree to disagree on that one. Were not a playoff team for three years, that's about when Hamhuis retires if not earlier. Good asset management, pumpkin, stockpiling picks, call it fandoodling for all care. Just trade players for picks, preferable the highest we can get.

I know Markstrom does not have a great glove. But hearing it from Corey Hirsch makes me want to vomit.

Cant stand that douche.

Yeah that Baertschi trade was horrible . Sutter too. Fire the bastard
- VANTEL

The Baertschi trade is "starting" I repeat JUST starting to look good...the Sutter trade he way-overpaid for him. But I'm ok with him as he's an upgrade on Boner for sure.

The Pedan trade sucks. He can't even get out of the press box.

Benning hasn't sold anything = not tanking...just poopty

Yeah. You're paying for it now, but it must've been a good couple of years.

You guys need to tank for sure. Like proper tank. No good getting a 4th, couple of 5ths and an 8th like the Leafs. Babcock will never allow us to get to that top 3 spot.
- walshyleafsfan

I disagree about the tanking, just focus on building organizational depth.

As for the good couple of years, they were 1 game away and clearly the best team in the league that year. A freak injury near the end of the season likely cost them the cup.

Because Benning is a horrible negotiator, where were you all last summer?

He locked down a second line centre for the next 5 years at 4.3 mil. In three years that is going to be a huge bargain. It already is a good price.

I just still can't believe you think the Leafs are tanking this year.
We have different definitions of tanking.

Sutter's numbers say he's not a number two center, unless he plays on a poopty team like ours, but I'm really ok with him being here. His contract is another story...like wtf Jim?

This team would not be in its enviable close to top five pick range if Sutter wasn't hurt.

IMO if you aren't trying to win you're trying to lose.

Yes it does

Don't worry about it, after tomorrow I probably wont be around here for a couple of weeks.
