Leaf Rumours

When did you ask for a ban on moron?

I tried during our series against the B's....he was particularly douchetastic, but could never get a consensus on it.

I am not upset about it...just don't want people to be upset that teeds isn't getting banned due to some kind of extreme tolerance. Banning isn't something done very often around here....what with the excellent ignore feature that no one ever uses....

I agree with this but I have always been suspicious of players with 400+ games and more goals scored than assists.

Goals are more valuable than assists imo. The NHL hands out 2nd assists like candy. You can quantify the impact of a goal. It's harder a lot harder with assists.

Clarkson gets dirty goals. Deflections, tip ins, rebounds. His puck skills are lacking, so he's never going to get many assists. That's not his game.

Sounds like an older version of JVR. Would like a few more play makers .
 
I think the Leafs biggest need is for better two-way players up front.

And I'm not talking about the McClements, who play great defence but are in our zone the whole time. I mean guys who can play in all 3-zones.
 
Clarkson's offensive production didn't really drop off this year from his "career" year. He went from a 30/45 player to a 25/40 player this year.

Clarkson isn't your typical grinder. He's talented enough to play on a top 2 line. He likely won't ever hit 30 again, but I don't see why he can't get 20-25. That's valuable production, along with the solid possession he provides.

Now, there's no way I'd give 4.5+. That's too much for him. I'd be interested in him at a hometown discount (3-4M).
 
Clarkson is basically done. Leafs will give them a pick. Phaneuf after laying off Chara is done with his teammates and Carlyle. Colorado will take him, throw us Stastny, Nonis wants their second on top. Hope it happens.

Reimer and Phaneuf lost a lot of lustre in the eyes of MLSE for their play in the waning moments of Game Seven. Best they go.

who's getting Reimer?
 
in any event, this team needs a good DEFENSIVE defenseman. while the leafs were forced to play phaneuf 3 minutes at the end of game 7 vs the b's, the hawks were able to cycle through hjarmalsson, oduya and seabrooke in the final minute to lock that ****er down.

Minnesota does not have the money to sign Kessel. He is aware of this. I see people assuming Minnesota all the time. It's not a realistic option. Minnesota signing Parise/Suter to 13 year, near 100 million contracts ended Kessel's shot of going to the Wild.

He meant the North Stars
