bang bus sounds alright too

ok sure, Trade Leivo and CBJ retain half $
- senstroll

that's about the price I would pay too.

Pretty sure I proposed that lineup last week 🥇
- mr.sir

I like your thinking, mr.sir!

So when Rielly returns, what should the d-pairings look like? Methinks:

Rielly-Hainsey
Gardiner-Dermott
Borgman-Carrick

Having said that, I actually kind of like Gards playing with Hainsey so they could go with (though, admittedly, I can't see Babs actually doing this):

Rielly-Dermott
Gardiner-Hainsey
Borgman-Carrick

When Zaitsev gets back they're going to have to make a hard choice in Borg or Carrick riding the pine as I think Dermott has performed admirably and has earned a regular spot. I'm thinking Carrick is the better bet to stay in the lineup over Borg.

Polak can go (frank) himself on Robidas Island.

It doesnt matter what wethinks....babs does the line up. Our d pairing projections are useless.
But I agree ........fack polak.

Last week........was so last week

good game last night. Nice to see the puck luck changing for Kadri.

Really happy with the effort the last two games. hope they can continue that going forward for the rest of the season

Who needs D if you can use your speed like last night...now I know how the Pens won the cup last year.

Having two hall of fame centers a top scoring winger helps.

Add two starting goalies (Don't tell EK or Jimmy)

Good on the Jays for not trading Vlad.

Yes, exactly....no need for D if you spend all your time in the other teams zone.

Even Polak looked good.

No, you still need D.
It was a one off.
Any GM who tries to repeat that is a fool.

short bus sounds alright too

Heard that too, Marlins wanted Vlad Jr for Yelich..

That would be tough to do.. Vlad Jr, has to be Donaldson's replacement..

Depends on where you're sitting...

not for Yelich straight

Bo would be reasonable

Vlad is the best prospect the Jays have had. by all accounts absolute superstar potential. he is only 18.

Have great forward group lessens the need for a Doughty/Letang is what it really means. Leafs should keep their D and add Evander Kane or someone like that.

Missed the 3rd, but man, can we keep these new lines? Please Babcock?

Marner to 2nd line: two responsible players to shore up Marner's shortcomings vs. a tire fire of a 3rd line... which now looks a lot better with Brown on there and his infectious work ethic.

Komarov Moore Kapanen: grit/speed/energy; you can throw this line out there against most in the league and at the very least grind it out and chew up some minutes.

Drafted by the expos is the future MLB expansion (e5)

How the hell does baseball work, no draft? I just looked it up, and he signed a $3.9 mil contract as a free agent at age of 15???

fixed

Gotta say... good for Carrick to stand up to a pretty tough guy in Roussel. He even got a good shot in and gave some kidney shots

I dont really know the ins and out of it..but Team are allotted a certain amount of pool money for international players. year to year what teams have to spend is different depending on they did the previous season.

Probably a lot of luck involved

Also, Dallas' goal is pretty squarely on Matthews. Needs to cover the slot there.

He better be careful or he will end up on the 4th line centering Martin and.... Hyman... obviously.

I dont think it set yet what position he will play.
But there is a chance Both could be Jays for a few seasons
