Leaf Rumours

If I was Carlo, I would love to come back.. he's a Toronto boy that's very very close to his family (as most Italians are). He would kill to play for Toronto again. He's not some little bitch that cries because his coach said mean things about him.
 
I always liked McCabe, Carlo, Antro, Moore and Tucker.

Can you honestly tell me that with all of them, PLUS Steen, and no Vesa, that we wouldn't have beaten Philly in six games in the playoffs? All the way.

Burke is building a team of thugs and brutes, with a bit of skill. But he has torn a lot down in doing so.

Trading Stalberg is going to bite him. It could be the worst trade of him career. And I think Versteeg is actually not bad. Gifted with the stick. I like that.

Right now, Stalberg is gnashing his teeth. This may have been the push he needed to show people.
 
Anyone who wins the Cup in Toronto is a BEAST. And Burke has to know that. But, he seems to be more intent on building a winner in Boston.

I still think he is going to Boston at some point to be team President. Only a total fool trades Stalberg AND retains Wilson.

I have one foot off the Burke bandwagon. Looking to land on my feet howling.

If he lands Iginla, I am back on tooting the bullish. horn.
 
Holy **** does it ever suck to be a Leaf fan on these boards right now. Seriously, that last Teeds post was depressing stuff.
 
If Stalberg gets some coaching like I know I would provide for him, then NO, I won't like Versteeg, I will loath him. Versteeg reminds me of Mike Comrie, slow and slippery. He will get squashed like a bug with more icetime.
 
Yeah, that was kinda depressing.

Its not something we have control over. But it seems like the majority on this board has been right about a whole host of things (not signing Antro, Rask trade, Steen trade), hopefully this one is the exception and Versteeg turns out to be a stud.
 
Burke has turned....


Stajan, Hagman, Poni, Mayers, Stempniak, Tlusty, Toskala, Blake, Kubina, Antropov...


into the likes of


Phaneuf, Caputi, Versteeg, Kessel, Armstrong, Beauchemin, Giguere, Gustavsson, Rynnas, Scrivens, Bozak, Kadri, Komisarek, Sjostrom,




There's NO reason to be depressed whatsoever......we're currently the youngest team in the league.....things are moving in the right direction, and we're still just a work in progress, once Burke is done building, we should be a contender, and with this youth, hopefully one that can have a long run of success.

Yeah. I mean the last couple days haven't been the greatest, but Kessel, Bozak, Kadri, Phaneuf and Gus in one year is pretty sweet.

Those will be the guys that decide the fate of this team.

It would have just been nice to get them some legit front line help.
 
The 180 you're going to pull with Versteeg, is gonna be on par with the 180 you pulled with Stalberg.




You're going to f*cking love the guy.

He also turned Kessel into Seguin PLUS, PLUS. So if you are going to spin, spin it right.

I am just advising him to NOT trade Kaberle unless he has Niedemeyer coming out of retirement to play for us, because Niedemeyer feels badly that we got Tom Kurvers instead of him.

If you can't bring the puck out of your end, you ain't doin shit. We have been spoiled for eons with Kaberle.

he will be vewy, vewy sorry if he trades him for anything less than a superstar.

And he drafted Kadri, anyone could do that.

No, he turned two lottery tickets, and a scratch n win, into Kessel.......congrats to the Bruins for cashing in one of them (seemingly), but it doesn't change the fact he got this team one of the most dynamic young scorers we've have in forever....

I suspect we will be to......time will tell if he'll even move him.

heh.
 
Colaiacovo sucks, and I'd be very pissed to have to check on his IR stats for another two or three year stay here. Forget it.
 
I'm 23. I kinda feel like if anyone's that negative, why spend so much time on a Leaf board? I'd probably be long gone if I was at that point.
 
Negativity is a bad thing, it festers in and causes all kinds of problems. I may not like some of the things our GM has done or the choices Wilson makes, but I try to approach everything with a glass half full approach. The only time I've ever really lost it was with watching Toskala play terribly. I think that's the best way to go, cause otherwise the stress is too much.
 
I'm positive about next season. Burke will probably make another big move, but even if he doesn't, we'll certainly be better than last season. Significantly so I reckon.
