Leaf Rumours

The funny thing about that incident in Buffalo with Mccabe scoring on his own net is, there were 6 other players who did that that season, including I think Backstrom right down the stretch in a playoff huny for Washington but you never heard about that. It happens every season.

The ****ers in the media actually lowered Mccabe's value terribly. And now the same thing is happening (or attempts to) with Kessel.

Anyone catch Healy's cheapshot on Kessel last Saturday during the After 40 minutes segment on HNIC? They're talking about Perry and other UFA's coming up this July, and feels the need to laugh at Kessel, who should never have been brought-up as he is not UFA until 2014'. "Who Are you Going to Sign if you don't get Perry, what a year and sign Kessel?" HAHA. So funny "Heals".

Yeah, signing a guy who can be PPG with Bozak as his centre would be such a horrible mistake for any team...

Other cities get their local media trying to increase the value of their players. Our media ****s the team daily.

Dion has 12 PPG and 37 PPA in 202 games played for us. I don't know if we'll ever see Dion of old back again, he is still a great player but a shell of his former self offensively, as strange as that sounds, at 27 years old it seems the best offensive years of Dion's career are behind him.

Not strange at all...

I put this forward during a Bouwmeester argument a bunch of years ago, but offensive defenders tend to put up numbers at or near their peak pretty quickly into their careers.
 
Phaneuf completely changed his game. At the start of his career he wouldn't have been able to point out his own zone on a map.

All the tools are still there. He just picks his spots better and it has turned him into an elite defenseman.

I love McCabe, but he was never a Dion Phaneuf.
 
Yeah, if Dion consistently puts up 40+ points, and plays elite defense against opposition top lines like he has this year, he's a top 5-7 defender in the league.
 
If our pp keeps clicking like it has recently phaneuf will finish in tge top 10 with a 50ish pt pace.
 
Anyone think that NYR would be a trade partner? They are in a tailspin and may need to change things up. Maybe we can get Richards for a package? Maybe I'm on crack?

It's the crack. You got to stop buying your shit from teeds bro.

I don't think the Rangers would want to trade him. Richards has a NMC and would probably not want to come here, otherwise he would of when he hit free agency.
 
I predicted the day he signed that contract Sather would want him gone within 2 years. He also had peaked before he signed it. Terrible contract.

If we want Richards, wait until NYR amnesties him.

With that said, every NYR game I've seen this year, Richards looks like the same clever ppg centre I've seen for the last decade....he'd be a really nice replacement for Bozak.
 
The Leafs shouldn't take on any bad contracts for a quick fix. No Lecavalier's or Richard's.

It might make the team better in the short-term. But this team is still growing, and won't be ready to contend for a while (hopefully when players like Kadri and Rielly hit their primes). Taking on a bad contract now would probably hamper the Leafs flexibility in putting together a contender then.
