So based on their play last night, Keefe characterizes the team overall as soft and purposeless?

I repeat: "We got exposed for being a team that is soft and purposeless."

Yeah Nylander is the second best player on the team, he's going nowhere. People will overreact while the Leafs win 8 of the next 10 games.

I agree that Nylander is going nowhere. The notion that Arizona, a team that has three first rounders and 5 2nd rounders will trade their most vailuable piece for a bag of magic beans, is ridiculous. It would be hard to imagine they give him up for a couple of fourth liners and some long in the tooth propsects that have fallen off the turnip truck, as has been suggested here. Just sayin.

Keefe also said in a recent interview the Leafs can win their division. So there we have it folks, the Atlantic sucks.

People say skiing is an expensive sport, but if you shop around, use the internet wisely and make smart decisions, you can get good stuff for cheap.

Or you can be Mrs. Wedgie.

Sigh.

Yeah not sure why they'd trade him. I wouldn't if I were them.

Lololol

Yeah, skiing and cycling are two sports where you can spend money for no reason. In skiing the goggles are particularly egregious offenders. Cheapy goggles will keep the sun and snow out just as well as any. Just need a low light pair and a sunny pair.

That's what I mean they AZ totally control the program... they don't have to move him... so unless it's exactly what they want.. forget it..

I wouldn't trade him either.. he didn't forget how to be a really good D man...

I suggested Knies, a first rounder and Niemela...

Arizona is also in a unique situation. Who knows where they are next year.

More on the "kicking motion" consistency... or lack thereof.

That is nowhere close to getting it done for a top 3 D man whose 23 on a terrific contract in a flat cap world..

My AZ buddy who works for Meruelo group in the construction side says this is the ask from the Ducks.

pick top 15 / Troy Terry and Thrun or Zellweger..

I know your unrelenting Willy stanning doesn’t arouse much criticism in these parts, but it took you 5 years of to even be in the ballpark about him, and your still way off.

A top 3 Dman on the Coyotees? I hope you don't mean NHL...

They won't get better than the one I proposed. Who knows if your bricklayer friend knows anything.
