I will be disappoint if it's only about JVR and Gustavsson. As an entitled Leafs fan I want another blockbuster trade.

All the Canucks and Canucks player accounts had added him before he even tweeted a single thing.

God he must be pissing off management.
Seems like he doesn't give a fuck anymore. Good for him, I'd do the same.
I wish he'd started earlier, maybe the media would've been more entertained. Sarcasm-funny-luongo is better than awkward-wrong words-luongo.
He also regularly tweets to NotBobbyLou, a parody character of Luongo that's from... A chicago fan (?) and their convos are hilarious.

Ovechkin to To
remain in Washington
It's too quiet
Edit: someone asked Hendricks if the 2nd deal has fallen through... He said no.
Wtf is going on lol
I'm counting on you guys to keep us posted about whatever epicness goes down soon. Preparing epic "fleeeeced" comments and rage from the opposIng sides...
Trade is good for both teams. Schenn just had a bad year that's all. And its not even because of Toronto alone - Schenn had great 1st and 3rd years as a Leaf. I think he would have bounced back and played solid hockey under Carlyle. Hopefully this happens in Philly, with a better team and with being reunited with his brother.
Having said that, though I'm sad to see Schenn go, I fucking love that we got JVR. Hope he turns into a stud. And he has a great contract.
But I have a Schenn jersey. =( What would Leafs-gaf do? Keep the jersey or change the name/number?

Keep the jersey. Remove the letters c, e, n, n, and at the letters i and t.
Canadiens pick Dalton Thrower grateful for much more than hockey
PITTSBURGH The moment he heard his name called, it was all worth it for Dalton Thrower.
Being taken 51st overall by the Montreal Canadiens at the NHL draft is big enough for the Saskatoon Blades defender, who can turn a crowd on by scoring a goal from his blueline spot or by accepting a challenge to fight from one of the Western Hockey League's reigning tough guys. Being drafted validates every time during his rookie season when he was 15 years old and knew being strong for his family meant staying with the Blades while his dad, Murray, underwent painful treatment for a cancerous tumour in his stomach. Or seven years ago when he stiff-upper-lipped for his two younger siblings while his mom, Melanie, battled an aggressive form of breast cancer.
"It's huge, I just want to thank everybody that's helped through me all of it," Thrower said Saturday morning at the Consol Energy Center. "I've had great family and friend support, pulling me through the hard times. For them to do everything that they did for me... Both my parents went through cancer. It's helped me come a long way.

They were that angry at the draft huh?
They are about to lose their franchise player and they drafted a D-man with the 2nd pick. A D-man is NOT a sexy draft pick, especially for a team now in need of a new scoring face.

Sabres-GAF, I've only been keeping up a little bit on the draft, how do you feel about our picks?
The fact Howson still has a job is absolutely unreal.
Of all the people to fire...lol.
You guys had one of the best drafts, and I still find Hodgson's situation hilarious.
...shit, it actually happened. This means no Yandle, I guess.
Fuck the draft lottery.

And there goes that whole "Schultz has nowhere to play on the Leafs" thing that was going.
Nathan Walker didn't get drafted.
This is the worst fucking draft ever...
On the bright side, we drafted some US College defensemen. I like how most of them turn out. Except the ones that vye for free agency...

Gets traded to a team so he won't be stuck behind two outstanding centers on the depth chart.
New team selects two outstanding centers at the draft.

Nothing to complain about!
Grigorenko could be the steal of the draft getting him outside the top 10. It's a bit of a gamble since obviously several other teams thought he wasn't worth it to let him slip that far, but man... a center that could possibly play as early as this season? Exactly what they needed.
I find looking back on the 2007 draft nauseating, especially right now.

I've rarely if ever been that interested in a draft, probably because it was an incredible crap shoot.

Yyyyuuuupppp.
I'm the same, I don't usually pay a whole lot of attention to drafts, but I've been reading up on this one since December, plus the fact everyone had different top 10 lists made it the most entertaining draft I've ever seen. Really good payoff for the shit season we dealt with.
Sad the Leafs traded Gustavsson, I'm going to miss that combination with Reimer.
Never forget. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KyyGjDrQTXQ

Habs drafted Subban and Pacioretty in that draft. Great draft. Also drafted McDonaugh. Fuck you, Gainey!
Think of it this way, if we hadn't gotten rid of McDonaugh and taken on the living pile of shit that is Gomez, we probably wouldn't have ended where we did, and we would still be without a #1 center. It's a stretch I know, but I'm over McDonagh.

At least we can finally see what that Maxim Lapierre traded ended up being...
Between John Gibson and him, we're now stocked on elite goaltending prospects.
