New concept: With all of the draft picks and AHLers that the Leafs will pick up at the trade deadline, they pick up like a dozen goalies.

Sets up a new reality TV series a la Survivor/Big Brother where all the prospects live in a house and compete for the #1 starter position.

I still say a 7'6" sumo wrestler, wedgie him into the net, with over sized gear on and tell him to stay still.

Perfect.

True Story: Wang actually looked into signing one for the Islanders a few years back

I had a similar plan but without the survivorism, my plan was draft all centres and hope you hit on one of the picks.

there are unexploited opportunities in the rfa market. i'm not advocating throwing a big contract at a player. that doesn't make sense or work.

the value in offer sheets is under $3.6M to me. squeezing a budget team or a team close to the cap on their backup or 3rd string goalie is where the opportunities in the rfa market are to me .

i trust this management team will exploit any undervalued opportunity at their disposal, including this one.

I suppose...I would just rather see them remain patient and not actively pursue moves that aren't low risk high reward. Just stay the course, don't throw around money, draft, develop, & sell high...rinse and repeat.

Hang in, I think they'll share the net the rest of the year unless someone poops the bed
- Garnie


i refuse.

i prefer to make my goalie assessments based on the most recent shot on net.

I have a feeling the Bruins will Schneider him with Rask being their Luongo.

The Leafs have more draft picks than anyone this June. Crazy idea, but why not draft one?

Andersen, Hellebuyck or Hutchinson I'd be interested in the Leafs acquiring one of them but the rest

Sparks almost looks ready for a backup job or do you keep him on the marlies for another few years.

Groins are tough hopefully he's back to normal now.
- Garnie




If they were so tough, why is it so easy to injure?

a 3rd round pick as compensation to dallas for jack campbell seems like low risk/high reward

Thanks. Was looking for the part where dude flings his cheap fur hat around inside the restaurant in that episode, but that one will have to do.

I don't get this. I've seen it posted before, but I don't know why. Reimer has not missed more games to injury than bernier.
- burn


Last three seasons, including current. Can't find total games missed due to injury, however.

Reimer: 89gp
Bernier: 133gp

Think he's looked a lot more confident, but more importantly focused...he steers puck to the corner but he still gets set...just in case. No more stinkers hopefully.

long enough to know they have never tried to exploit the low-end of the rfa market
