Good question.

Perreault- Martin- Gare

Ramsey-Schoenfeld

Hasek

- mhp



It is hard to argue for including more recent players besides Hasek. The only one that I could maybe include would be Mogilny, but who would you take off...

Jersey could get Morrisonn for a late round pick. He has one year left with a cap hit around $2m, I think. Ruff is not crazy about Boyes lackluster play in last year's playoffs, this I know so he has only one year left at $4m. They might end up keeping Boyes and he could be a trade deadline move.

i know we wanna try out our young guys (henrique) but the zajac injury may force the issue a lil more

2nd, the 1st laughing stock of the NHL is that gay chant of yours.
- truth.serum



I never started that chant......you know other cities have adopted that chant as well...but they are all playoff teams...maybe the Leafs should as well? Maybe your grandchildren will see a playoff game or better yet a cup? ROFL

I have been to many games in American cities...and the consensus is even with those fans is - just point and laugh at Toronto...Loserville!

that is all

Yeah, and I really should pick him over Dino, but I just loved Dino when he was here.

That is the issue there for sure. I thought of Andreychuk over Martin but how can you argue with Rico getting 695 points in 681 games. Besides, Rico and I played some golf in the area so he stays.

I would say Boyes, Kotalik and Morrisonn would be the tradeables at this point.

Understood, tough to argue with that.

Does that say anything about the organization with having most of their best players from the 70's and 80's and nobody from the past two decades that can match them, in your opinion?

good to hear, chicken parm?

the food is great, especially the bread for sandwiches (baked fresh in front of you and its nice crispy on the outside and fluffy in the middle) best bread i have had, yes beats the french at baking................and the other food here is great.....but wow is it expensive

a big mac is 11.30 franks or about $15 i think

Yeah, Rico was a member at a local golf club that I was a member at and we played some golf, drank a lot, smoked cigars. A real down to earth guy, gave a lot of his time to the area and could reel off the jokes. R.I.P Rico bro!

rm, yes for sure. You can't pick a guy from this decade and the 90's you only have Lafontaine, Hasek and Mogilny. This team's best came from the 70's and 80's.
