bryan mccabe could be headed to a team shortly. Hearing about the Isles, Phx, and Pitt



more to come.
Dominoes????

Doughty & Schenn salivating to see what kind of money gets thrown at McCabe.
- Habssuperfan77

I would take McCabe

Kessel will put up his 36 goals like he does every year.
- Guimania

This year he becomes the best 50 goal scorer to only score 40.

Look Souray was healthy and still in the AHL taking up cap space if that to you is success then i not sure how to respond.
- thebigbird

He is not in the AHL becuase of his production, but his attitude and the fight he had with the GM.

But Souray has had success in his time in Edmonton. Just not enough. His issues have been more related to his injuries, not his production and play when he is healthy.

As far as blaming Lucic.... I have no idea. I was just commenting that it seems most Habs fans have commented that he's been ineffective since he had his shoulder separated by Lucic. Not since he was separated from Markov.
- prock

well injury is something to consider but Christ he looks like barely a NHL d man the last couple a seasons.

That had a lot to do with a falling out with the team and them not wanting him poisinging the dressing room. He did score 23 goals in his one healthy season in Edm.

I would take McCabe
- RENATO6

I think a lot of teams would. He must be asking for more than people want to pay.

Thief.

the thing is, we all know more than 10 things that could go wrong next season

Subban doesn't need to "explode" to get an invite for the ASG IMO, just do what he did at the end of last season with consistency
- Traceur

I guess I'm just used to the negativity on Leaf blogs

I fully expect none of our young players to improve as a result

I guess it's fair to have high hopes in Subban, but I think young defencemen regress more often than young forwards (Schenn, doughty, myers...)

I would take McCabe out for an ice cream.
- RENATO6

well.....that's ummmm...very nice of you.

Imagine him on the PP with Markov.

definitely this.

MIND.BLOWN.

Yeah.... Hockey heaven is a pretty good one too.
- prock

He leaves out the part about Buffalo being a verifiable poop-hole, though. I suppose that's out of necessity. You can't exactly put that in your media kit as you attempt to woo UFAs.

This year he becomes the best 50 goal scorer to only score 40.
- stormey

If the Leafs play a more consistant game and don't have their long droughts of losing like they have been plagued with in the last half a dozen years, and if Kessel can do the same, then ya he might break the 40 mark.

But streaky players usually remain streaky.

He is not in the AHL becuase of his production, but his attitude and the fight he had with the GM.
- Guimania

OK so he was offered for free and no one picks him up to make their team better because of his attitude?
Sean Avery plays in the NHL.

Someone actually called him "a perennial 40 goal scorer" . Now I may be a monkey but don't you actually have to score 40 once before you can be "perennial"

Imagine him on the PP with Markov.

In an uncapped league I don't think he's in the AHL last year.

She's also been there since the 50s.
- hscesq

You'd remember...

It was too easy. On the other hand I'd bet on them being good together.

GM Honor code.

He is obviously waiting for an injury to occur so he can get in the $4 range.... I heard he sleeps outside Markovs front door..

I think PK will be very good with him.

well.....that's ummmm...very nice of you.

That's me!
