i love talking about how trash risto is defensively. he's gotta be one of the worst 5 on 5 first pairing defenders in the league
- daeth

As bad as his underlying numbers are, I think Ristolainen would be good on the Leafs.. We'd offer him something Buffalo doesn't have, a good D-partner in Rielly and a chance at the playoffs...

What are you on about, bird?

Aetherial likes being edgy and call Matthews invisible when he doesn’t score a hat-trick on any given shift.

I posted this yesterday...so maybe a few things.
but does anyone remember or care that these star players waited until the first week in Oct to sign?
- senstroll

Gms must hate dealing with this agent.

arguing online until 2am over back up goalies.

that cant be a fruitful and promising life.
- systemtool

Must be a Tuesday.

Wednesday-Friday is reserved for trading everything for Karlsson.

Saturday is for signing over-the-hill bums thinking that it'll improve the team.

Sunday is the most sacred of days. It's for praising the 2011 Bruins.

Could be worse...could be Allan Walsh.

This is the one right here. Ban him.

Oh so you did end up getting those ribs removed huh?

It's actually been reported that both Dubas and Nylander want a long term deal, not a short term deal. Its been all over the talking head radio/tv shows.

Yes.
But if you listen to what he said. He wants nylander with the leafs long term, how that looks just yet he doesnt know.

Is this UGs mind if McBackup makes the team?

Sparks was a puke sandwich tonight, despite the lineup. Anyone that thinks he earned a job after the last two performances needs meds and a shrink.
- winsix

there's no way that anyone can legitimately give Sparks the backup job behind Andersen after that steaming pile.

I think they should move McBackup if possible for a mid-round pick, and run with Pickard as the backup. Pickard has more NHL time that Sparks, who confidence must be messed up right now, but that said clearly you don't throw away Sparks as of yet based on age and his record the past couple of seasons in the AHL.

nah... it would be a much smaller explosion - in a basement

- PatC80

its doubtful whether the Leafs and Sabres would combine for a deal... but Ristolainen needs a change of scene BADLY, the guy is a tire fire.

he gets himself twisted in knots trying to be tough guy... and turns the puck over with alarming regularity.

just for arguments sake - what would the Leafs have to offer for him?
