  1. This is a guy they hope will play up in the line up and trade a lower player. Finally this gut should keep up with Bo at least, or Petey.
  2. What other depth do we need? Fourth line winger and pressbox player? We have too many top 9 guys.
  3. He's tiny and an erratic playmaker. Not sure where he fits. Smaller players like him usually need above playmaking skills which I think he lacks. Thus not finding a good fit in the lineup. Good player though.
  4. Haha, Gaud$&!# to the Leafs. Just glorious watching Sportsnet Leafs Homer's bewildered by what's going on.
  5. Yup I really hope we can finally find a fit for Bo. Move Pearson to line 3 and get a 3c. Baby steps though!
  6. One very important thing is he's an elite PK guy. We have really addressed this with Mikheyev and Lazar. Great work if we can unload Garland now.
  7. Naw, I go by hockey db too but dang doesn't he just look really short. The NHL teams are notorious for over reporting heights so those players don't get targeted. Don't know if that's still a thing though. But my eyes can't be that bad can they? He looks like 5'7 or 5'8.
  8. Yep fits our group way better. Garland was tossed all around the lineup. It's great he produced last year but 5 mil is too much for a third liner. I'd trade him for defense help.
  9. Play him with Petey and Miller for the first 5 games and put him on waivers. See if someone bites.
  10. I'm a little uncertain about his very low assist totals. What's up with that. Anyone watch a lot of Garbage Town hockey games that can comment?
  11. I like how we brought in a speedy top 6 guy and are focusing on actually building 4 lines as compared to Benning just grabbing random Swiss army knives and hoping the coach knows what to do with them. Now Podkolzin, Hoglander can play on the third line where they belong. Along with Pearson and Kuzmenko switching out. If Miller is traded we have a top 6 that can step in. Someone must be on the way out.
  12. You got your player (one of them). Congrats Jimmy. 21 goals in 50 games. Good pickup!
  13. The Bruins play an admirable in your face 5 man system through all their 4 lines. I'm pretty happy I think and he brings that mentality. Apparently he's a good PKer which is huge. An absolute necessity going into next year. I'm not as worried about the speed thing. I think he's fast enough to play good defense.
  14. It's a mil aav. That can be entirely buried in the minors can't it? Completely different.
  15. Watching the Sportsnet crew talk about the Samsonov signing and how they don't like it and then Jennifer Botterill (only hockey person on the panel) saying that maybe it doesn't matter what goalie the Leafs have and maybe the third and fourth lines might want to contemplate playing some defence instead of running and gunning like everyone else on every single play. Then she says yeah it's probably something the Leafs organization should look at internally. The dumb looks on everyone questioning faces was priceless.
  16. I just woke up, can you explain this too me? I'm sure it's funny.
  17. We currently have 7 top 9 wingers for 6 spots, plus Dickinson. At least one should be traded and a fourth liner brought in. Trade two and bring in a top 6 guy, or a third line center. Miller Boeser Pearson Podkolzin Kuzmenko Garland Hoglander Dickinson
  18. Yeah it pushes Dermott and Burroughs (If here) to 7/8 with Dermott still a young guy able to jump in on either side. I like it.
  19. Yeah I've been trying out JT Player Name for a bit now. It has a nice ring to it. Just have to wait for 4 years for CDC to update it automatically. It kind of sucks cause Miller is way easier to type.
  20. Yep as soon as reality hits next year his trade value will drop but so will his contract value. It's in his best interest to get it done now.
  21. Ouch, 97 PIM minutes in 50. I gotta confess I liked him during his draft years and kind of lost track of him lately. Still a jerk I think though ... that's good.
  22. Yeah. I'm liking this actually. 8 goals in 50 games with the Sabres. 6'1 215 plays with a chip on his shoulder. 26 years old. At 1.5 could be a good player for us. Checks a few boxes.
