Leaf Rumours

The line-up that won games 5 & 6 in these playoffs is definitely a play-off calibre team, and Grabo can reclaim his career - just needs to make some adjustments this summer.
 
Can Grabo reclaim his career? I don't know.

Grabo, at the end of the series, was almost a total non-factor offensively, and a liability defensively.

Keep hearing #Kings Bernier will b traded sooner than later. With poss' Breeze buyout and Leiweke LA link, #Leafs #Flyers front-runners
 
Grabo probably shouldn't have played another game after getting his bell rung by Ference's elbow.

Is Reimer-Bernier
a better combo than Reimer - Scrivens? Yes. Is it worth the trade package it will take for this upgrade? No.
 
Bernier definitely seems like an ideal replacement for Brodeur you would have to think. Talented young French-Canadian goaltender who is just starting to break out.

He was a non factor all season. But why wouldn't he be able to reclaim his career? There is no reason. Players have bad seasons all the time.

If we go with what we had this past season, i smell no playoffs.

I could be wrong, but unless Kadri replicates the season he just had we would be toast. We'd be counting on Grabovski coming back and improving from 3 seasons ago. Even then a small selfish 55-point center is not going to take us to the playoffs. Im not sure how much i buy into his success considering both his linemates had career seasons. That line clicked for that season. This year it seems teams have adjusted to their game and shut them down. Do better linemates make Grabo better? Do we want to keep a guy at 5.5 million that needs his linemates to produce?

Too many question marks.

Bozak wanting 5 million makes me sick. This is a guy that shouldn't be making a penny more than 3 million. Take him off the top line and he produces 15 points per season. Didn't he go into a major slump when not playing on the 1st line?

Weiss isn't much of an upgrade, but he has shown he can produce with inferior linemates.

It's not hard to replace 50 point players.
