Just another reason to hate the leafs. - bloatedmosquito
OMFG... After the huge gift they had last season at our expense, he's got a lot of nerve. They almost had a small taste of it and it's "we are getting fkd".
Leafs feel so fkn entitled.
Edit: "leafs may have got their way because it never came to fruition".
Hey Lefty, Jack Rathbone is one of those picks you say Benning is unsuccessful with outside of the first round. They are starting to show the last couple of years though. Demko(home run), Hogz(home run), Rathbone is definitely trending to a 5th round home run. Klimo has a pretty good shot to be a NHLer as well, Lockwood, Mike D looking more like a serviceable goalie by the day. Some other hopefuls in the pipeline...

Bones is a comer I’ve no doubt. His overall game I can envision being more & more solid as he grows. Something about the kid has me luvin his 5th round pick immensely.
Works both ways. Too early to give away cap crippling contracts to players with flaws. That is why reasonable bridge contracts should be the answer. - VANTEL
I agree but to date Jimbo has done well on RFA deals & I expect more of the same.

With Hughes I think everyone agrees. Pettersson however, I strongly believe now is the time to lock him up long term. I won't be upset with a bridge, but I do think it will pay off if they bite the bullet and give him more money now.
There is no doubt EP & Hughes wanna get paid. Whether a bridge or a 6yr type deal or full term they will do fine. It’ll come down to the will to win or if they have another agenda. The latter is a possibility but not something I’m concerned with. Both know the situation the club is in & their roles in it going forward. It’s not loyalty that I seek but I do believe if they wanna be part of winner & be driving forces behind it they will sign. If not then no probs dealing them cuz imo it’ll be all about money & their character will be questionable.
