am thinking only one...guhle looks to be in...if they sign antipin, he'll be in...there's McCabe and risto...and methinks they'll only be able to move only one of bogo/gorges...falk as #7
- Michael Pachla

I think we absolutely need to get two dmen (not counting Antipin) this offseason

does guhle count?

These announcers are rooting for the leafs so hard it's (frank)ing nauseating

If you're watching CBC it's sort of their job.

See my above post on the matter.

yup...sho 'nuff

i'd love to see the go after will butcher, the hobey baker winner

I don't see any reason why not to

does guhle count?
- Michael Pachla

think it should be two in addition to whats already here. Dont want to put too much pressure on Guhle...or even antipin really.

I agree
Drives me nuts

Guys like Hjarlmsson are super valuable imo
Very underrated
- jdfitz77

Hjalmarsson and Alzner are on two different ends of the spectrum. One is really good at defense

- Michael Pachla

I don't think he's going to amount too much imo small D are effective but I think he's going to be like that last defenseman the Rangers signed when he won award

Given the accolades the Antipin seems to be receiving in the KHL, is it too far-fetched to think he may be able to play top pair?

does guhle count?
- Michael Pachla

He shouldn't but probably will.

I like Guhle and Antipin but counting on them to be top 4 guys right away is dangerous waters

Need to move McCabe over to right side to make it work. In a summarzation of my last post...


X Risto
Antipin McCabe
Guhle (Poor Soul) Badgosian
Falk

its funny to think about how big the reputation swing has been for Tim Murray and Don Sweeney.

Say what you want about his moves. Carlo and Mcavoy are going to be a straight fire pairing.

antipin should be fine after a short period to acclimate...at least that's what i hope...and that's even if he signs with buffalo

They are missing Carlo and Krug. They'd be cake walking this series with them

I think in such a scenario Guhle gets top pair minutes in rochester. Let him get used to the heavy ice time and such. Thats if they land two guys tho. More likely looking at

McCabe-Risto

Antipin-new guy

Guhle/Gorges-Bogosian

Falk


I put the slash because with bylsma you never really know. I mean Grant got like 60 games so what do i know lol.

He shouldn't but probably will.

i think guhle will be bottom-pair with a vet

oh i know i just think the swing is funny. He took way more heat that TM ever has. That blueline could be scary good.

Smith Ristolainen
McCabe Brodin (usually plays the right side)
Antipin Bogosian

This tickles my balls

McCabe has proven he's not a top pairing defenceman. Need to improve the top pairing defenceman to pair with Risto. A defensive defenceman who can skate is what's needed.

Not that I know of, could be wrong.

My FA defenseman list goes like this

Shattenkirk>Smith>>Alzner=Daley.

If we could sign one of these guys and trade for, say Brodin, I would be pretty happy with the offseason
- chilliard77

I want absolutely NO PART of Shattenkirk
Every playoffs he's exposed as being very average (or worse) in his own end
We already have a great PP
No need for a 7mil defenseman on the 2nd pair

Good bye leafs
