A few points of reference for Ben Danford for #LeafsForever fans:

In a 9-1 loss in the OHL finals for the Generals, Danford was 1-0-1 and +1.

One of, if not the best, defensive defenceman in the OHL (at 17).

Can play in all situations on both ends of the ice.

He looked good in the OHL finals. I would not have guessed he was a younger D

I like the, “He’s mean” label. Mean is good if it can translate into the NHL where most men are manly men.

Thanks. You reminded me I have the OHL package so I can go back and watch some of his games.

Older = weak memory.

But now I got you!

Well done Mike thank you!!

What’s that?

LeBrun notes that the Vancouver Canucks have offered Zadorov a contract that is worth $5 million annually in order to keep him in Vancouver but the 6-foot-6 left-shot defenceman elected to test free agency.

"
- The Law[The Canucks] came in late and they went as high as $5 million AAV," said LeBrun. "So, it would make a lot of sense that he can get that [on the open market]. Can he get it from the Maple Leafs? I'm told there are 10 teams with considerable interest in Zadorov and the Maple Leafs are among them. They like him for a lot of different reasons and there's history with Treliving, but it comes down to a cap situation for Toronto."

That's a lot of loot for Zadorov. Tanev and Zadorov for 5-6 each coming our way?

I really hope the Leafs don't offer insane $$$ to a 3rd pairing D-man in Zadorov.

I'd like him on the Leafs, but absolutely not for that much.

Thanks. You reminded me I have the OHL package so I can go back and watch some of his games.

Well, I dunno. Certainly noticed how many times he was on the ice for Dzone faceoffs. What I LOVE is the fact he likes to fish. He’s helping to pay for my daughters education.

Well done Mike thank you!!

That’s more like it. Looks like the kid knows how to hockey. That’s half the battle.

Saw that. Just what we need. More elbows flying around the division.

I can envision parts of Alberta where there may be similar concerns, it is essentially little Texas. But I've lived in Ontario, Newfoundland, and Nova Scotia before living in Alberta and even though living in a small city, it's less redneck than anywhere else I've lived in Canada and seems to be twice as stable as the rest of the country.

The derogatory comments about rednecks type people is pathetic. Many Canadians would much rather have the “salt of the earth” people you negatively refer to living near them then the multiple gender, drag Queen story tellers, Climate Change Cult group.

Thats a lot of $ for a third pairing D. Big pass

That is exactly what I was thinking also... and you know when he KO's AM34 with an accidental on purpose elbow hit... no suspension coming.

A lot of the smart farmers I grew up with are quite concerned about climate change, especially the ones who know how to use capital letters correctly.

Maybe now he won't have the NYR immunity, and will actually get a lengthy suspension when he kills someone.
