Leaf Rumours

You don't think they were planning just a few months in advance for the inevidable (having to choose between them).

Any prudent GM would. They made it pretty clear that Schneider was their guy moving forward and I find it way harder to believe that it was based solely on 2 playoff games rather than the decision was made well in advance.

I remember people talking about it two years ago.

Gillis knew what was coming.

...and yeah, don't push your lack of faith in Kadri on to the rest of us.

Yeah, this is not imagined. I may not have had that much faith in Kadri, but I also didn't want the Luongo deal or was on the fence with it. There were people here who were more than willing to trade for Luongo and to trade Kadri for Luongo. There's no question about that. It's in the Luongo thread.
 
I totally screwed up that kadri-luongo rumour.....cox said that was the offer made on draft day, not at the deadline.
 
I heard that as I was driving home. Total bullshit. He thinks Carlyle doesn't like Gardiner's style of play. If these lazy assed reporters just took the time to look at who he played and heavily at times in Anaheim, they'd know this isn't the case.

Of course, I'm sure Dredger knows this and is just stirring up controversy. He prefaced it with glowing comments about Gardiner's play in the AHL. Not often he says much positive about Leafs players.
 
dreger probably heard something carlyle said about gardiner and is grasping on to it to make it bigger than it is.

kind of like what they did with eakins and kadri coming to camp on a big mac diet (albeit, not public, like eakins comments).

but he probably said something like 'we aren't happy with gardiner', as in... he wasn't playing to standard. which is perfectly reasonsable because (1) he didn't play well when he first came back from h is concussion and (2) we know they weren't happy with his play since they sent him down.

but that doesnt' mean that they don't like him.

Dregger doesn't normally make things up though...

Yeah and it's pretty simple really. Liles is out because he's soft and Gardiner for pretty much the same reason...You can see that Holzer isn't making any decisions that are much different compared to Liles and Gardiner(in fact he makes more mental mistakes)...yet he's still playing. He uses his size well along the boards but that's pretty much it.

I wouldn't go as far to say Carlyle isn't a big fan of Gardiner though. Just that others are playing better right now. The way he sees it anyways.

I certainly don't understand how the hell you wouldn't have Gadriner in the lineup if you liked him.

...when you're 15-10 and you're already sitting 2 vet NHL dmen in Liles and Komi. It's a numbers and success thing. However, if the wins dry up, he will be back up.

The fact Gardiner can still be sent down without clearing waivers makes it even easier for them.
 
Are you serious? Dreger and Craig Button are major reasons why, despite the presence of Bob McKenzie, TSN's credibility is swirling down the toilet bowl.
