Hey I like the Leafs... but I've never been a fan of Dion... dont think much of his game.

He has his strenghts, sure... but he's a liability defensively much of the time.

I wont weigh in on this debate......But i think IMO Dion came to a not very good system....I like his hitting, i will say that.I often wonder if he would of gone to another team and had been playing in front of a good goalie and say someone like Weber,Pronger,Keith or someone else of that caliber beside him, it might be different.He dosent look like his younger years at all. I think he can come back though.

Yeah Im sure he would look great with a seriously awesome dman as his partner.

He shouldnt be 'the guy' though.... he's not capable.

If hes good enough for Burke he's good enough for me!

Hey if you're happy!

Thats what matters in the end.

What about his first couple years in Calgary though?

Should wait until next season to define these things, Subban was garbage at the start of the year, Phaneuf garbage at the end. Both shouldn't make it right now.

Olympic team?

Neither make it now no... but I think of the guys on the World team, Subban is the only dman who might make the Olympic team in 2014.

Might.

Played with Hamrlik who covered his ass.

Plus he played with a lot more jump back then.... he doesnt have that gear now.

Where did it go?

I think{hope} he is young enough that in the right system he could bounce back.

if he'd stop being such a big wussy and have his ice time cut down by 4-5 minutes a night, hed be great.

He also wasnt expected to be a shutdown guy then... where now he's got that responsibilty, and is paid like a #1, do it all dman.

Woahhhh Devils.

Go Marlies Go!

I can't believe it's come down to Leafs, Sabres, and Habs fans all comiserating together during the playoffs. The Northeast was so promising and turned into a trainwreck. Well, mostly the Leafs and Habs were a trainwreck. Actually compared to preseason anticipation the Sabres were a trainwreck too. Let's play!

Who do you guys want with the 5th pick? Gally or Forsberg?

Woahhhh Devils.

Galchenyuk without a shadow of a doubt. If he's still available of course.

Might have to all throw money in to get Craig Button to be simultaneously the head of scouting for The Oilers, Jackets, Habs and Isles for Draft day. Maybe he will be available at 5 then

1. Gal, 2. Reinhart, 3. Gaunce, 4. Faksa.

Not at 5 in my opinion. Trade down if Gaunce is the target

1. Gal, 2. Reinhart, 3. Gaunce, 4. Faksa.

1. Gal, 2. Faksa, 3. Gaunce, 4. Faksa.

Fixed!

I think that Faksa has more offensive upside than Gaunce. Comparable build, but More than a PPG through his career so far (that I can see).

Personally he reminds me a little of Anze Kopitar. Which is somebody that I have no issue with drafting!
