Faux Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 richards will be the top free agent next year. toronto has a chance, but he's prolly gonna sign with rangers or another that isn't in the bottom of the barrel no chance with stamkos. he said himself he likes TB and wants to work it out with management. he's not going anywhere, and if he does, he's going somewhere who has draft picks to give away i don't think leafs is making the playoffs til the team starts getting draft picks. right now the kessel deal is so bad because how terrible he is. i understand he needs people to play with, but he's still getting outscored. leafs is desperate for a centre and loses the chance to get seguin. and bruins is going to get another early pick next draft now there's even talk of schenn or kadri getting traded. rofl this is sooooo bad. oh well this city doesn't have the patience to wait :: Guess the Movie Contest Champion: pfilc23 :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's the thing with Stamkos - how much does he like TB? They have a self imposed cap of something like 40 million and they're stuck paying lecavalier 10 million a year for several more years - paying St Louis as well (who earns his keep) and with everyone else they may not be able to afford a reasonable salary for stamkos. Realistically, he's looking at AT LEAST a 6-7 mil 3-5 year deal. Probably more, to be honest. Kessel isn't terrible, but he's a floater. He's quite a good player when he's motivated; but he's rarely motivated. He's still quite young though so I'm hoping he'll grow out of that. Trading schenn/khadri would be so dumb lol. I seriously think schenn is a future Norris candidate.... "It's not a rest for me, it's a rest for the weights." - Dom Mazzetti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faux Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 i meant to say how terrible kessel is playing right now i know he's a good player, but he's just not putting out what was expected. he's had breakaways and just end up hitting the goalie or miss the entire net. it's disappointing :: Guess the Movie Contest Champion: pfilc23 :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All_Is_Great Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Kessel is a good player. But, I have absolutely NO idea why Burke didn't sign him to an offer sheet. Overpay (like they are right now) him a little so the Bs won't match, imo that's way better than giving up 2 firsts and a second. Oilers game today, man every game I listen to it's either a loss or low scoring. I always miss the high scoring games <_<Keep up the losing, oilers, you're not making the playoffs this year so it's a good idea to get another high pick. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unkn0wnwarrior Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Trading schenn/khadri would be so dumb lol. I seriously think schenn is a future Norris candidate....I agree on both points. If they keep those two and Kadri starts scoring, they will have a much better team than what they will get for either one right now. But if you had to trade one, I would say Kadri. Schenn is (overall) very good in his own end, which has historically been a problem for the Leafs. And Kessel would be a lot better with a solid center. I still say look into the Versteeg at center idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obfuscator Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 I don't see versteeg playing well at centre at all. I watched a little bit of an interview with Wilson yesterday at their outdoor practice - man the guy is pissed off. Somebody asked him about waffles and he flipped out. I suppose I'd be mad too if it was basically certain I'd be out of a job by years end though...

unkn0wnwarrior Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Versteeg has played well at center in the past, although I can't remember where I heard it. And the Leafs need something to change. Maybe having him at center will work, maybe it won't. I think it is a legitimate option to, at the very least, look into. I don't really understand the whole waffle thing, myself. I think it is ridiculously stupid to waste the waffles, though, despite the fact I don't really like them.

Jimmyd17 Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 So, just looking over the last couple pages of this thread and I'm finding that the 'nucks are underrepresented and it seems the perpetually struggling Leafs are at least giving their fans something to talk about. The start of the season really gave some people hope, eh? PS: Canucks should take top in the West tomorrow with a home spanking of the Oilers. It's a good time to be living on the Pacific, I'll tell you that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nucks are red hot right now, so I'm thinking a good high energy game with the Nucks winning by a goal or two. Of course, anything can happen.

obfuscator Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Yeah Nucks are having a great season. Probably Canada's best chance for a cup this year, although Montreal's doing allright.

Shelby_Polo Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 As I type this post it's 2-1 Colorado; vs Detroit. At this rate, Osgood will never get 400 wins... I'm a huge ozzy fan, but he needs to retire :-# Suggest a poll for Tip.it - Here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All_Is_Great Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Osgood should've retired a couple years ago tbh. And holy crap, Ollie Jokinen scores again!! hahahaha, that's too funny :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelby_Polo Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 WOOOOOOO!!! Win in overtime, Osgood finally gets 400 wins! As much as Osgood isn't that great anymore, he deserves to be with the elite goalies with 400 wins. Now lets go back to howard :P Suggest a poll for Tip.it - Here!

Jimmyd17 Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Good for Osgood. I'm hoping he'll net a few more wins this season, maybe pass Fuhr and Hall? Would be nice if he could pull it off, but I agree. It'll be best if Howard does all he can haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obfuscator Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Blah - Leafs play a decent game for once and Gustavsson has to have a bad one. Several weak goals there... I wonder how long it'll take them to put Reimer in net? "It's not a rest for me, it's a rest for the weights." - Dom Mazzetti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All_Is_Great Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Probably never since Wilson's behind the bench. I REALLY don't think Wilson's the right coach for TOR. On another note, I watched the Oil vs Avs game last night. Wow, the Avs were good in the first, but it was really fun to watch the oilers come back from 3 down. Duchene is a beast, but so is Hall :thumbsup: I really wish they'd give Paajarvi more ice time, he's not going to produce goals and points on the third line. He had some nice chemistry with Hemsky and Gagner, too bad Horcoff got injured and messed things up. <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obfuscator Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Well, good win for Toronto. I wonder if Reimer will get another start...the one goal he let in definitely wasn't his fault... And washington wins the classic....interesting. "It's not a rest for me, it's a rest for the weights." - Dom Mazzetti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All_Is_Great Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Well, Tor totally destroyed Ottawa lol. And then the injuries start again for the Oilers, what the hell.
