Coors light might be shit, but we have plenty of awesome micro breweries here, so unneeded.

Don't think the Leafs can even afford a #1C. But I'm content with Bozak for the time being. He isn't as awful as Leaf fans think he is.

Holland needs to do more drunken Ebaying and less drunk FA signing

Everyone knows if you just pay a player more money he'll play better.
Gunnarson hasn't been the same since his nagging hip thing. Don't know much about Polak but Leafs needed to shake things up back there.
It's almost touching to see an entire fanbase in such completely agreement over something.
Kyle Quincey united us.

He has united and also killed us at the same time. I really need to take my mind off of this for the time being, or forever.

This what Holland thinks of Illitch's money

And look at his big dumb face too. Looks like Penner.
Not sure how to feel about this signing. I don't like the money though. Not one bit.
We lose Iginla and Erhoff, and now this?
I thought Robidas was the back-up plan to Gorges?
Actually robidas may not have been signed
i am sure granberg is going right in as the gunnarsson replacement
he plays like exactly the same as him

I won't be surprised if Illitch wakes up dead tomorrow with what Holland did with his money today.

Granberg might be ready to make the jump which gives the Leafs some options if Polak sucks.

What will the excuse be next year when Babs is gone?
Finally got home to see everything from today.
I really like the Richards signing. Low cost/low risk move and a huuuuuuuuuuuuge improvement over Handzus. Also takes a lot of pressure off Teuvo so he's not immediately carrying a lot of responsibility. Just saw they re-signed Regin as well. He's played better than I thought he would and he isn't costing anything so it's nice to have him back. Hawks are over the cap again so hopefully Roszival is on his way out. Now it's just the waiting game to see what Toews/Kane end up signing for.
No surprise Vanek went to the Wild. Saw that coming a looooong time ago.
Can't believe someone actually gave Bolland $5M+. I like Bolly but that dude isn't worth anywhere near that much.
LOOOOOOOOL @ the Orpik contract
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL @ Detroit bringing Quincey back

They don't want to play for a going nowhere team that keeps re-signing the same old awful players again and again hoping for different results?
I dunno, just a guess

Maybe Detroits system is so convoluted that they don't want to introduce new guys to it because they won't be able to pick it up?
And maybe that's why they don't rely on kids, because kids are dumb?
I don't know what else I can tell you to try and cheer you up, Wings-age.

So this is what Christmas feels like in HELL
This is a team in hockey purgatory, not a contender and not bad enough to get top 5 picks that are needed to rebuild a franchise.
Fuck Ken Holland fuck him in all his orifices and then drill some new holes and fuck them too

So Boyle and Stralman reunite with Cally in TB?
I feel like Boyle heading out there is equal parts AV's 4th line comment and Cally swaying him (probably both guys...) to go South.
I still like all three, but I hope they suck and score barely ever. At least against us whenever we face off. I hate facing Cbus already, now I need to add TB to the list? =/ At least none of them went to the Habs. There's that.

That's it, the idea that this was even looked at is enough to warrant his firing even if SJ was the one who offered it.
I would wish bad things on the Avs but that would just be sending Holland there as your new GM since that is probably the worst that can happen.

Hah! Would you rather sign KQ or have Bolland at the price the Panthers got him?

Bolland, because he isn't Quincey.

Lupul - Kadri - Frattin
Komarov - Holland - Clarkson
I'm satisfied
That third line is gonna annoy a lot of teams

Most of all the Leafs, because Clarkson is on it
lolol
Fixed.
Komarov will go back to the KHL by the end of the season because he'll feel under-appreciated by Carlyle. The sad part about that joke is that it may come true.

Crap I just realized that Orr and McLaren are probably going to start the season on the roster.
If Frattin is playing on the 2nd line... We're in for a rough season.

There's no way Orr and McLaren are back on this team. I think the management learned their lesson last year. They'll put together a 4th line with young guys that can actually skate.

You guys are more optimistic than I am.
Derek Roy and David Legwand are still unsigned. So is Grabovski lol.

When Paul Hendrick said two former Leafs were returning, I didn't think Frattin would be one of them.
Unexpected, underwhelming, but relieved. It could be worse. I was thinking about O'Byrne and Liles (he wasn't terrible, just unnecessary right now) or something along those lines.
Actually good to see LK47 (this needs to be a thing) return. He really wants to play for the team, and I can't be mad about that. Now, to see how effective he is at 82 games vs. 42. I don't know what he's worth, so I'm not sure what to make of $2.9 million per season for 4 years.
I'm okay with Robidas. Bad break to end his season/playoffs with the Ducks with the fracture, though. His interview on TV makes me a bit more confident about his health.
Not sure what to think of Polak, though. Blues-GAF, what's the word on him? It sucks seeing Gunnarsson leave.
