"Wow! My lifelong dream has come true!! #FLAMES" - TJ Galiardi

First and last time that will ever be said.

Feaster's hacking Twitter accounts now?

 

[KernelPanic]

Players like Tim Thomas who didn't even get a chance until he was in his thirties...

Ed Belfour, Martin St. Louis both undrafted and weren't great at first... How many bust prospects could have become great?

There's always going to be some players that fall through the cracks. Some guys never get a chance, some guys don't figure out what it takes to be an NHLer until much later. Some guys need to be traded or put on waivers before they wake up(I think Grabner falls into this category).

I think you'll find the list of 1st rounders who were rushed into the NHL to be much much bigger than guys who "never got a chance".

He's from Calgary.

He tweeted something about thanking DW for working with him through this "process". My theory is he asked us for too much money, Sharks refused, and he requested a trade or else it would go to arbitration.

 

[Smiley90]

Whaddya talking about. He's a playmaking GOD!

Leafs fans really aren't in any position to make fun of other teams overvaluing their own players.

-cough- best passer in the league -cough-

Oh man. Sorry guys.

So the Lightning traded for Columbus defenseman prospect Drew Olson, with the intention of having him play forward at rookie camp.

You can't make this shit up.

i'd rather have weiss for 5 years. you guys really want holland to sign vinny for 5 years?

edit: what Cake Boss said ^

No, I want Vinny for 3 years, but if we need to pay 5.5 or 6 to get that, we should. If not, then yeah, Weiss is fine.

 

[HadesGigas]

Sacco an assistant coach in Buffalo:

Buffalo Sabres head coach Ron Rolston today announced Joe Sacco has been named to an assistant coaching position with the team. Sacco will start in his new role on Rolston’s staff immediately, joining fellow assistant coach Teppo Numminen.

Wonder how weird it feels to go from a head coach job to an assistant.

 

[KernelPanic]

Probably better than being unemployed or coaching in the AHL/KHL.

Detroit is out of the running anyways.

Wayne 'Kadri' Gretzky, as he was known growing up in Brantford.

Busy day today, but I get through it by occasionally opening tsn.ca and reading about Bozak's 8 year proposal. Jesus lol. Under 5 a year is fine, even good, but any team giving more than 5 years is insane.

A 20-year-old woman is accused of striking a young child with her car, deliberately bumping the kid’s irate father with the vehicle and refusing to listen to police officers and biting one cop in the hand.

The incident began around 11:30 p.m. as the woman was attempting to leave. Police say the woman, in a rush to get out of the crowded area, hit the child but caused no major injury.

"The father of the child became upset at which time the female proceeded to drive her car into him multiple times attempting to push him out of the way. Again, no injuries were sustained," police said in a news release. The man also escaped injury.

Officers were called to the area, but things only got worse.

"Attending members instructed the female to pull her vehicle off to the side of the road repeatedly, which she refused. Due to the heavy pedestrian traffic, the female was unable to proceed any further. It was at this time officers requested that she turn off the ignition to her vehicle for public safety reasons, again she refused," police said.

"As a result of the circumstances presented, one of the officers reached into the vehicle turning the ignition off. While doing so, the female proceeded to bite the officer causing an injury."

Police pulled the woman from the car and arrested her. She is now facing a long list of charges including assaulting a peace officer, failing to stop and remain stopped by a peace officer, failing to remain at the scene of an accident.

A 17-year-old female passenger was also arrested and charged with obstruction.

We call that a pretty chill Monday night as no one was stabbed into a coma.

I suppose its possible. But I think it would be like a one year thing then he would retire.

[lamaroo]

I love that Bozak thinks "under 5 million" is generous. Unless that means no more than 3.5 million, what has he done to earn more than Desharnais or Turris?

Connor McDavid?

I dont even know why Nonis is talking to him as we already have 4 centers and then Colborne in the minors

Its almost like a shalaman.jpg isn't it.... :/

So at midnight, teams could start talking to the FAs. 1 of those FAs looks to be Alfie

Too bad, I say.

Don't worry dude, he'll end in the nation's capital.

McGuire just said NBC wants to start showing Preds games on national tv now that they have Jones.

Also Weber is officially a UFA Habs not giving him a QO.

Not surprised, at the draft Pierre was really adamant about wanting to do Predators games next year.

 

[yyzjohn]

As a Leafs fan I apologize to all non Leafs fans about the BS you have to listen to from Leafs fans over valuing their players. Of course you have that in every fan base but it seems far more prevalent here in Toronto. Kadri is a good prospect and might eventually be a solid 2nd line center. He's nowhere near that yet.

 

[KingHenrik30]

This is going to do wonders for their marketing. Going to give them so much more exposure. This kid is worth just at much off the ice as he is on.

Jones is going to be paying for Weber's contract

How DARE you project Wayne Kadri as a 2nd line center?

HART, RICHARD, ART ROSS NEXT YEAR! GUARANTEE! DESTINY!

Please...the other fans do it as well and I don't think Leaf fans do it any more than any other team, but there are just more of us.

He is Steve Thomas' son. He's not big, but he's a sniper. 50 goal season in the OHL. Had 19 last year for Hartford. I was really high on this kid. RW.

Here is a hi-light video from his draft year:

Kristo played with boy Kreider and Stepan on the Gold Winning US junior team in 09
