BooBunny · Answer

I don&#x27;t know if I would do anything in Nashville to fu ck up that chemistry. They are a wagon right now.

komot · Answer

aaironworks · Answer

nashville is the real deal...

tone79 · Answer

I&#x27;d love to see lavy win a cup in nashville just to stick it to Mr. Snider and the flyers

Tippster · Answer

So Jokinen will be gone probably by April, who knows who this kid in the minors is. So basically leafs traded a decent defenceman in Franson and a serviceable Santorelli for a very late 1st round pick.

Leafs are now looking to unload Jokinen before the trade deadline.

Did NONIS screw up again ?

Jizzer · Answer

Salary dump.. good trade for the Maple Laughs...

The last time the losers made a "trade" like this, the Bruins won the cup.  What a filthy disorganization.  The 1st round pick will turn out to be another Tyler Biggs.  Franson and Santorelli were the only 2 decent players on that team.  Why don&#x27;t the Leafs do themselves a favour and fold the team so they can stop embarrassing themselves and my city.  I seriously hope bell and rogers go broke and tanenbaum falls down an escalator and doesn&#x27;t survive.

Both Franson and Santi were gone at the end of the season anyways.

[/Quote]So they trade away all their #1 #2 picks for fat lazy ugly piece of sh!t donut eating introvert kessel and now he&#x27;s no good?  Not a good fit?  and last I checked, Joe Colborne and Matty Stajan  are still playing well on the current playoff bound Flames.  How&#x27;s YOUR $7,000,000.00 CAPTAIN doing?  Oh, you want to run him out of town right?  Not good enough, not fast enough, not a leader, makes too much money.  "Leafs fleeced the Flames" says Toronto media and fans.  WAKE UP DUDE.  The loafs have no intention of winning EVER!.  On a sidenote: If Toronto is the biggest hockey market in the world, why doesn&#x27;t the league allow another team to open up here instead of places like Godforsaken Vegas or Florida or the fukking desert?  I will tell you.  Because they are the league.  Figure that out yourself

Tippster · Answer

^^^^^I think the leafs are playing reverse psychology on us here. For nearly 2 decades the media and city have been overhyped on false hope

Tippster · Answer

And now that they are admitting to reloading and rebuilding maybe now the players can just play and media might not be so tough on them because they have no hope ?

happycap · Answer

Franson has been getting progressively banged up.  My assumption is Shanny (Nonis&#x27; name should just be omitted in any of this talk as he is a limp dik lame duck choose your metaphor man walking at this point) wanted to lock in some value even in the form of a 30th overall pick.  Debatable trade.

happycap · Answer

Does anyone care to enlighten us on this "prospect"?

moho · Answer

EVERYTHING MUST GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO2 FOR 1 SALE FOLKS!!!!!! IF U CALL NOW,WE WILL ADD ANOTHER LAFF PLAYER FOR FREEEEEEEEEEEE,,,,,, YES THATS RIGHT,FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

happycap · Answer

total rebuild is the right move, just way too late.  We will see when the Habs win a cup after eschewing the need to rebuild.  If there is one thing we know in the cap era the only teams winning anything do it when talent is a) young b) cheap c) controllable... at least the Leafs are showing SIGNS that they want to play the game right going forward.  They have a lot to make up for.  Habs have never torn down hence probably will not win a Cup until they realize they lack the horses too IMO.

happycap · Answer

Sabres win a cup before Habs do lol

wiggins · Answer

habs already went through their rebuildyou would think the leafs would be able to get more for two of the top players available according to tsnbut habs barely gave up anything for vanek last year so maybe the price for rentals isnt high anymore

Hawky · Answer

agree. and seriously Olli? probly still getting paid by previous 4 teams. how can they screw up worse. they could make a team out of the skill theyve ditched the last decade and be cup contenders. sure would beat the real leafs every game. fml

happycap · Answer

pardon? when they got Price at #5? That was the rebuild? When did the Habs bottom out Wiggins? Tear down and rebuild seems to be the only recipe now.

wiggins · Answer

i think leafs needed to take on some salary so preds would have room for franson..not sure....no more capgeek sucks lol

happycap · Answer

Habs drafting post lockout:&#xD;&#xA;05 Price #5&#xD;&#xA;06 David Fischer #20&#xD;&#xA;07 Paccioretty #22 McDonaugh #12&#xD;&#xA;08 no first round picks&#xD;&#xA;09 Louis Leblanc #18 &#xD;&#xA;10 Tinordi (Hamilton) #20&#xD;&#xA;... other than Patches and Carey, where is the rebuild from the draft?? I believe the Habs avoided the tear down and rebuild method that seems best suited to working in today&#x27;s NHL (a la Hawks, Pens, etc.)

wiggins · Answer

your only basis for this tear down and rebuild is chicago and pittsburgh...Edmonton disapproves the theory completely..so its 1 team out of 30habs did a quick rebuild when they landed glachenyuk at 3what other teams have a price, subban and glachenyuk as their core? they finished 1st in the east 2 years ago, ecf last year and 1st in the east right nowyou rebuild for a core..the habs have their core...they arent going to improve at any of those 3 positions by tanking

Dangerbay · Answer

Edm doesn&#x27;t count for anything.  Any team that gives away Doobie is a leaf team in disguise. &#xD;&#xA;I will promise you guys this.  If not true you will (prob thankfully) NEVER hear from me again.  ***The Las Vegas Posse or whatever they will be called will make the playoffs before the laffs do***
