Lupul has had an up and down career, it's not out of the realm of possibilty to see his production drop next year, seeing as he increased his career best by 34% this year.
- Oilhab

I'm not sitting here think it's guaranteed he pulls off another year like this year..... but to call him a flash in the pan if he doesn't is rather absurd. He's had several 25+ goal years.

Who's confused.... You said no one knew of the issues until after the trade. I simply said that the issues of drinking and partying were widely known before the trade. End of story.
- burn

Sigh...

You said they were known "in part"...I said nobody knew until the trades started getting closer that it was an actual problem with leadership...you replied with "that's what I said".

End communication.

that's pretty pathetic...keep up the good work.

I think they're pretty comparable actually.

Lupul for the Hart.
- Mattjd123

Yup that's what I said..... keep it up champ. It's such a lame comeback..... just like plan the parade (even though no leaf fans actually say it).

This!

That was all I really meant.

Wendel Clark got traded
Both Carter AND Richards got traded
Belfour played for San Jose
Brett Hull played for team USA
Glen Sather stayed employed through all his years of NYR mediocrity
Messier played for the Canucks
Leafs still rack in the most $$$ even though they're absolutely horrible

Strange things happen in the NHL
- Juice

Gomez was traded.

I agree that Tampa is probably the best situation for Lou but I could also see a team like Winnipeg getting in on this. They have better D pieces to offer than just about any other team that needs a goalie...

Agreed.... I should have bolded. I was referring to the worth 2 1st, he's heart winner nonsense.

*Toronto. Something you didn't hear here first is Luongo tied to the Leafs. However, while I include them on this early list I truly don't buy it. I am reporting a rumor here, but talking to my sources I trust I would say the Leafs are looking elsewhere.




...great, so Luongos coming to the Leafs.

Oh cool. I think it's a little bonkers when people bash Lupul (esp oilers fans). He's very similar in production to Hemsky (different skillsets obviously).

It's a double edged sword: you could bash Lupul for being as injury prone as Hemmer, but you have to acknowledge he's as good an offensive player.

So you agree...They were known before the trades. Good.
- burn

Thus commences my first ever "Burn being annoying as hell" experience.

Roberto package for Vinny package?
- Oilhab

That would stilL leave us playing him till he's 43. When Vinny is healthy, he's good. Hopefully he won't break that damn knuckle AGAIN.

Folks on this site have become INSANELY sensitive lately.

The posts that are getting reported are pathetic. You can't even say "we beat you guys " without it getting reported.

I've actually started banning guys for reporting too much non-report worthy posts.


PS - I say this fully admitting that I haven't read your entire conversation with Burn.

*goes back to read the conversation with Burn*

It has to be one of the worst trades ever.

I have asked many times how come the Kessel trade is the gift that never stops giving... but Montreal just about got a free pass on the Gomez trade.

Just giving the Leafs fans what they're used to.

How was that one?

The Leafs don't just want to make the playoffs, no point in just getting in to get hammered like the Kings, Sens, Caps
- stuckey

hahaha in what world are the kings going to "get hammered" didnt they just out your canucks?
