No not big and or necessary mean.
Finish your check
Come playoff time, finishing checks will be a big part of success.

I think we're agreeing with each other and we don't know it, hon.

To sum it up: I don't want Ferland or Simmonds.

Ferland and Simmonds are both useful players, not just goons. These guys can score too and finish their checks and stand up for teammates.

Hard pass.

I never knew this existed:

The NHL explains their reasoning behind suspensions.

I have to give props to the NHL here: that's pretty cool.

And I agree with the suspension here: he got 2 games for excessive stupidity, not viciousness.

This was implemented by Brendan Shannahan.

If we could get Simmonds for a ham sandwich, I wouldn't mind him as a rental.

His next contract scares the hell out of me - guys who play that game don't usually play well in their later years.

I'd make it a club sandwich if Philly retains half his salary

The contract next year would scare me too, unless it was a 1-2 year deal..

I don't think we can afford Simmonds or Ferland though, asking price seems to be really high on both

I think it has to be at least a Philly Cheesesteak sammich,

For tonight;

Hyman-Tavares-Marner
Marleau-Matthews-Kapanen
Johnsson-Nylander-Brown
Lindholm-Gauthier-Ennis

Rielly-Hainsey
Muzzin-Dermott
Gardiner-Zaitsev

Andersen
Sparks

I mean, Dunn did kinda leave his feet.

Uh people arent talking about Kingberg because he's not even close to available. He was in the running for Norris last year, and Dallas is in a playoff spot

Lets put it this way, Jensen >>>> Hainsey/Zaitsev and most definitely McQuaid

So, I know what Id prefer to do.
- Archaic

I think I'm watching a different Jensen than some of you guys. 'Cause the one I watch on Detroit isn't good.

so what does a Chris Kreider cost?? Brooks suggesting that Leafs have inquired (among others). Can we obtain him without trading a roster player?

Kreider - Matthews - Nylander
Hyman - Tavares - Marner
Johnsson - Kadri - Kapanen
Marleau - Goat - Brown


- steve362

Nah. According to one on EK's thread Kreider alone would cost the Leafs Nylander.

I think Leaf fans are scraping the bottom of every barrel.. Jensen would be an upgrade on what we currently have on the right side.

And other teams are probably putting the Leafs over it knowing that they're desperate for an upgrade there

I’d trade Johnnson and Brown for him and a mid pick.

The Leafs wouldn’t have to do poop next TDL other than maybe some depth.

- Symba.007

Is that what he said? Either way it's stupid.

EDIT: This is what he said-

"Here’s my counter offer... because your nuts:

Kapanen
Nylander
1st (if you don’t have one this year, I want next years)

Then whatever crap you want to offset the salaries,
ie-Brown
Gardiner
Zaitsev

For

Hayes
Kreider
Pionk
McQuaid

Kreider alone costs you Nylander, sorry"

It's the ebb and flow of the season. poop the bruins were just barely in a wild card spot 2 to 3 weeks ago and are now 9-0-3 in their last 12 and 4 pts up on the Leafs for second (2 more GP). There are runs and there are ruts, somewhere in the middle is what the team actually is.
- RickJames77

Pretty much.

- Santo_44

I would agree.
Although not sure Babcock is looking to trade 2 guys that can kill penalties.

NYR would probably be looking at Johnsson + Moore plus a 3rd rounder. A hefty price, but Kreider is a good top6 winger.

- TheMuzzel

Also true.

- PatC80

He's really not, though.

People like to poop on Zaitsev, which is understandable, because he makes mistakes, but Jensen is not better than him. Hainsey, when actually on the 3rd pairing and getting less ice time, is probably still better than him. But I would probably take Jensen over Hainsey just so Babcock can't keep putting him on the 1st pairing.

I saw that too,
Kapanen and Nylander alone would get more than that package

- plantheparade

Yeah true.

I mean Brown is probably gone regardless...whatever pick they send to the NYR they can recoup on draft day with a Brown trade.

I'm talking in terms of right shot defensemen.. After Zaitsev, we have very little
