Believe it or not, the Leafs are currently 1st in GA in the Eastern Conference.

Schenn makes $2.75M this year an next, and Nashville - currently the worst team in the league - is using him as a 6th defenceman.

I don't think we need him, and I'm pretty sure we can't afford him.

Just my opinion.

Ya hard pass on Schenn. Not needed now.

i dont really care how hes being used on a crappy team. he is playing 15 mins an night, which is 2 more than he did last time with the Leafs.

But he seemed to have good chemistry with Rielly. I think hes better than timmons, Benoit and prob hawkenpaw. but injuries are going to happen (more) so he is a good depth option

I'm with you on this, the reunion was nice when he came back but he's overpaid by Nashville big time.

I don't think he's better than most if not all 3 of those guys.

Schenn is the only one of the 4 who is a minus player right now, take +/- for what it's worth but he's also being paid way too much for what he is.

I think they'll add a depth guy at the deadline but more likely a rental then a guy like Schenn with term.

When McCabe's back Rielly gets OEL back and I think that top four is our best look.

Benoit-Timmins-Hawkapoo get 2 months to show they can be trusted on the 3rd pair or you go out and add someone.

3C is still the overwhelming need IMHO. Save all your bullets for that purchase.

Expensive depth option. Sure he had good chemistry 2 years ago but I dont believe he's really needed now.

Agreed, although I really dont mind Minten there...I know its only been 9games and he's a rookie but he looks decent.
Obviously that could change

Another Robertson scratch

Done

O'Rielly.

Nashville is currently playing on a 57 point pace.

To get to 95 points (the lowest require points for a final wildcard in the past three years) they need to play the rest of the season at a 116 point pace.

Their season is effectively over - something that will become even more painfully apparent in the next month.

Get 'er done, Tree. Throw in a free pizza when they retain 50%.

Agreed go get ROR in late January

Right before 4 nations

yeah but he folds the pizza slice in half

What if we traded Schenn for Domi?
- Atomic Wedgie

The league would decline ..b/c we don't have a Schenn and we already have the Domi.

I was never in the re-sign Domi camp but he's ours now and I think they have to play him in the one place he can be/has been productive ....on 34's wing.

Domi-34-88 ...Domi grits and passes to the two best shooters on the team.
Patch-JT-16 ....Mitch drives his own line and gets better matchups.
Knies-Minten-McMann ..add a 3C at the deadline to upgrade. Big heavy forecheck line.
Lorent-Kampf-Dewberg ...spare parts for the PK and 7 mins per night.
Reaves in a cheerleading outfit.

I must confess I drove the bus for Team Sign Domi.

I was wrong.

But here we are.

I'm hoping that it comes out that he's been nursing an injury all year.

I thought he had a good game in NJD relative to the rest of the team

Played with energy, created room with his skating

Can be very effective playing with some better players on the 3rd line as the leafs get healthy

Only 3 more years after this one....on pace for 24 assist....so yeah?
Hopefully he improves in the 2nd half.

Odds are that at least one of us was recently pardoned by Big Joe.

Which one of you was it?

Also I'm claiming firsties on the Brandon Tanev rumour ...way back in the summer.

It was really weird to change from left wing to right wing under the exact same government that never changed.
