cdubuya Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 is this a joke? this is far from confirmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Down by the River Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 The Leafs' best player is Phil Kessel, and no coach can help Kessel. Kessel believes his way is right and is unflinching. Babcock won't be able to change the team if the team doesn't first change who their best player is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desiboynux4lifee******* Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 8 million per year wow is lots. Great signing for the Leafs, they get credibility, a coach that can fix phaneuf and kessel. Leafs probaly will make the playoffs next year. Babcock knows how to implement a system, if the Leafs miss playoffs I will be shocked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only you would think Phaneuf and Kessel can be fixed, but at the same time think Baertschi was a lost cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goblix Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Pretty funny.. Was just watching leafs lunch and they were complaining about guys like you lol.. The wannabe insider.. Breaking news via the real guys Twitter relaying twitter news into a forum isn't terrible... as long as he referenced the individual who made the tweet and also didn't state that it was "his sources" or "I'm hearing" I don't know who does the leaf lunch but honestly sports stations get majority of their information from twitter feeds anyways... they just may filter out the crap more than forums would... Anyways, no team is going to win without a legit #1 centre on their team... Bozak and Kadri are no where close to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lot of people forget that team was in the playoffs, before they fired Randy Caryle. That team never had problems with offence, it was just the defensive aspect of the game they struggled with. I think the team will gain credibility and make the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aladeen Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Why do people do this? I mean it is likely he'll go to the Leafs, but you're not a journalist, being first doesn't reward you in any way. Nobody is under the impression you are an 'insider'. I was under the impression he was an insider you have burst my bubble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't matter what kind of system is employed if the players refuse to learn it (Kessel) or are incapable of learning it (Phaneuf). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyhee Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 @DarrenDreger: ... the Leafs may have won the sweepstakes Why the bleep is the tag for this "Signing" instead of "Rumour" or "Speculation?" Edit: I see it's now changed to Report, which imo isn't much better when the only info given in the original post is that Babcock told St Louis he was out.
