  1. wow I just looked up Capfriendly, the Leafs have $21 mil injured/buried/retained. they are basically icing a $50mil team. what is the cap floor ?
  2. That is an impressive list. I thought we were talking about players left from 2011. Cowen and Laich were for sure not on the Leafs in 2011, not sure about the rest. Horton does notcarry a cap hit and never did as a Leaf. However you can be sure if Mike Gillis had made the Horton trade King Gary would have instituted another "Luongo Rule" Are none of those players playing for the Leafs this season? Wow.
  3. Don't we also have dead weight Luongo and Higgins as well as Edler and Tanev?

    I don't think it works that way. This is a rare 1 team draft, but I believe every team loses 1 player. I suppose LV could draft a free agent, then not sign him. It will be weird because with only one team the draft order means nothing, LV can pretty much make a list and submit it, they will never lose a play to an other team. I think Nashville was the only other team to come in by them selves, all other expansions included at least 2 teams. Nashville was pretty good off the hop. I kind of think Benning is planning on Biega getting his 19 games, but it is looking like he may not.
  6. I notice him give the puck away or tip passes to the other team. He falls down at the same rate Mason Raymond used to. It is amazing to me that he is not tagged with 5 give aways per game. But the stats page is always kind to him.

    So there was this theory that Biega would get 19 games to make him elligible for the expansion draft. As we near the 1/4 pole he has played 1 game as a forward. At this point Biega needs to play 2 of every 7 games to reach 19 on the season. 1. Does he make it? 2. Does management care? 3. Was this ever actually the plan? 4. Do they wait until 25 games remain and hope he doesn't get injured with 8 to go? 4a. ^^ If so to they list him in the line up and throw his jersey on the ice for one shift per game?
  8. I think we can all agree that Edmonton Management sucked for the better part of 10 years. Starting with Kevin Lowe and a litany of inexperienced coaches and Pat Quinn who was probably smarter than all the rest of management. But they did not totally fail at drafting and now after 1+ years of good managment and a good coach they have turned the corner.
  9. I'll tell you what I don't have a sad ass excuse for Virtanen being on the NHL roster, last year or this McCann being on the NHL roster past the 20 game mark last season McCann being on an NHL roster this season, but he is in Fla so I am not really paying any attention to what happens over there. I think he is playing because they have 2 injured forwards ( not going to use any of my sad ass excuses on FLa, saving them for the Canucks)
  10. Hey can't we just all hold hands and sing a little song about how bad Edmonton screws up all their prospects?
  11. What you mean, don't me blame you player poo play on you management? If me player get develope pooly then me blame you management If you player get injure cause he too young and should have been in little league me blame you management If you player get not proper diagnosis from doctor fellows and keep asked to play the heavy game somebody ought blame you management If you management play 2 player youngest in you big league in year last and both players get stall in developement who you blame? You management!
  12. I think Jake is injured. This situation reminds me of the Canucks handling of Cody Hodgson. I think it is pretty safe to say at this point that the back injury ruined Coho's career. whether it was the injury it self being irrepairable or Canuck bungling of its diagnosis is up for debate. To my eyes Jake has not looked the same since his fight/injury with Bobby Farnham last year. He looked like a tough guy before that event, but not since.
  13. losing shizzle, like that jar of pickles at the market yesterday and my phone today. both my fault, both left right where I put them and walked away
  14. I was going to say something similar. Look how well the limited NTC worked with Vrbata The only viable trade destination a 36 YO Erikson has with a $6 hit and a $4 salery is a cap strapped non-playoff team. Pretty sure it won't be on his list.
  15. Big Cesare I talked to him while watching Gump play a preseason gamein Victoria
  16. cuz of his reddy-orange hair?
  17. Ed Dyck did I spell that right?
  18. Sonny Bono? I didn't even know he played hockey
