I almost want to see what kind of team they have but not quite. I'll assume they will never be NHL material.

I guarantee the Marlies will never be NHL material... but their players... maybe...

Apparently, according to a Damien Cox article in the Star, the Leafs wouldn't trade Schenn (or Gardiner) straight up for the 1st overall.

Apparently Schenn/Gardiner =/= Yakupov, according to the Leafs/Cox.


This is what Cox had to say when probed about his comments:

“Bc if they’re smart they’ll figure out the first pick isn’t worth as much this year. No big diff among top players,” Cox replied.

That's dumb - sounds like if there's any truth to it, Leafs nation is setting up a trap to hope that people think they overvalue their players.

God the Leafs are dumb

They have too many d-men, so it only makes sense that if given the chance, why not turn that into a forward?

Sounds like an ego-defence mechanism in play here.

Or Cox is lying ... *and* is dumb.

Cox is a retard.

twice now on Twitter i have commented back on some of the stupid analysis he's spewed with hard facts and other analysis and twice now he's banned me from his Twitter.
the man is a joke. the equivalent of airbrushed porn for leafs fans. the man takes from his own stash. None of what he says is real, just grossly embellished. Or just completely misinformed.

Good news, the Oilers would laugh in their face anyway.

Yah, they wouldn't trade it because it's not possible.

It would be like Garrioch saying that Murray would not trade Zack Smith for Sidney Crosby.

Garrioch does the same. Say something they don't like? Blocked. They think they are kings on there. Delusions of grandeur.

Well yeah, god forbid a fan would come up with a smarter analysis then the mighty writer. What would the world come to!

"We are prepared to go forward on that basis," Burke said. "If we can upgrade at the goaltending position, and at a reasonable price, we’ll do it. But we are prepared [to go with Reimer-Scrivens]. I believe in James Reimer. He’s young, he’s athletic, I believe in this kid. If we have to start like that, we will."

That is a huge vote of confidence.

Remember how many goalies the Canucks went through in his tenure there ?

History never fails to repeat itself

Jonas Gustavsson, aka The Monster, traded to Winnipeg for a (conditional) 2013 7th round pick.

Correction: a conditional 7th.
