Getting 3rds for two guys who are barely NHL players (Rinaldo and McGinn) is pretty sweet.

 

[DopeyFish]

Mark Hunter is talking up Jeremy Bracco, says he's the guy he was happiest he was able to draft (outside of Marner presumably)

keep your pants on Dopey

:>>>>

The one thing that's weird to me is the leafs rated him at 22... but still picked dermott first

Played a big gamble because Bracco's ratings were middle first to third round projection

 

[Fata1moose]

Maxime Talbot asked for a trade from Boston.Talbot. :lol

WE HAVE QUALIFIED 4TH LINER MIKE HOFFMAN WOOOOOOOO

SENS GAF ROLL IN BITCHES.

 

[MetatronM]

All NYR RFAs got qualifying offers except for, mildly surprisingly, Conor Allen.

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

So trading your 4th line grinder / enforcer, nets you the same return as trading a young starting goaltender?

Honestly, with the devaluing of the goaltender market, it seems like such a waste to draft goalies and just pick them up in FA or trade for them with a 3rd round pick.

Lack is good, but I don't think he's starting material. Filling in for an injured starter and having mediocre playoff stats isn't worth a lot on the market. Talbot barely got more than Lack, and yes the Boston model is an outlier.

And yes, goalies are being drafted later nowadays. Demko was the top-ranked NA goalie last year and he was drafted in the second round.

Vey signs one year, $1M. Good deal: he'll need to be better if he wants another contract.

Sweeney went full Millbury. You never go full Millbury.

Get outta here. Nobody likes the Sens.

Hoffman seems to be a decent fourth liner, though.

How about those Stars signing Niemi? They're set for years...

[CrazedArabMan]

Just catching up on everything today. Wow, Kings, Bruins, oh my!

Oh, and Feds and Lids baby!!! AH YEAH!!! Those two are the only two Wings that will win anything this year though.

Maybe we should try to trade Cleary's rights to Boston since their GM is an idiot. We could probably get a 2nd out of it.

Children! Let's all focus back on Boston Boo-urns.

 

[eyeless]

made a list of d-men taken in the top 5 from 2002-2012

Ryan Murray, Griffin Reinhart, Morgan Rielly, Adam Larsson, Erik Gudbranson, Victor Hedman, Drew Doughty, Zach Bogosian, Alex Pietrangelo, Luke Schenn, Thomas Hickey, Karl Alzner, Erik Johnson, Jack Johnson, Cam Barker, Jay Bouwmeester, Joni Pitkanen, Ryan Whitney

kind of a terrifying list, there are very few bonafide #1 studs in this list, so just based on the odds, even if hanifin is a stud and marner's a bust, i'd still think they took the right gamble at the time, i fear the prospect of getting a jack johnson or jay bouwmeester with a top pick, the 126 point skill guy seems safer, high drafted d-men are a hell of a crapshoot

Yes.

remember back when Richards was waived mid-season several Toronto media buffoons said the Leafs should claim him because he brings strong character and winning culture?

sounds even more ridiculous now :lol

 

[Cake Boss]

I am sorry, here is some cake i baked for you guyz

 

[Coldnoodle]

sounds even more ridiculous now :lol

I'm on a Washington Capitals board and there are a few people that said we should sign him for cheap because of what he brings off the ice.

He'd be the perfect 3C, still has more in the tank, grit, character, winner, clutch, he was misused etc..

UGHHHHH

 

[DopeyFish]

Guys... remember when I said Kadri was on the same development path as Richards?

Can I take it back?

 

[ZeroGravity]

I'm sure if you have a few players whose contracts you need terminated, he could show them a thing or two.

I remember a few people here arguing that a Phaneuf/Richards swap would benefit the Leafs.

D:

Done.

Now you're stuck with Carle and Sustr forever!

MUHAHAHAHA!

 

[HadesGigas]

Sabres didn't qualify Zac Dalpe, no shock there.

Also I see NHL All Star Luke Adam wasn't qualified by the Jackets.

Flew to London Friday afternoon, been crazy busy since, and EVERYTHING HAS BEEN HAPPENING

That was the Shittest Trade from the Draft.


Miller sucks.

 

[Coldnoodle]

Never get anybody that comes through the Bruins organization.

Sweeney and Benning burning their teams to the ground.

still better than anything Boston did, that's all that's keeping me from being angry right now

 

[Kifimbo]

Since Richards isn't an illegal immigrant, "border issue" must mean trying to bring something illegal from one country to another. Drugs, most likely. Unless you believe Richards might be involved in the human trafficking industry.

 

[Red_Man]

How in the flying fuck is PAP untradeable, but a Neanderthal like Rinaldo gets you a 3rd round pick? Sweeney must be high as a kite.

The only good thing I can see from this from your end is Rinaldo setting the standard for quality of trades (lololololololol) and you guys get rid of PAP for something a little better than what the Bruins traded for.

 

[Samyy]

Damn, the Marlies may not have anyone older than 25 on their line-up next year
What a time to be alive!

Why not? It's not as if he has anything stronger than Coors Lite anyways.

Is Sweeney actively trying to get fired?

We could've given you Rinaldo instead
Speaking of Flyers, VandeVelde resigned. 2 years.

I heard he's always wanted to coach in Quebec

Good old Boston. Making the shitty move Benning made seem a little less shitty.

Kessel is the guy in the center. The guy on the donkey is the Toronto media. Or something.

The donkey is The Put-Upon Leafs Fans.

The imp caressing Kessel-god's folds is, of course, Quick.

Someone with the requisite skills needs add the faces of Kessel, Shanahan, Babcock, Bozak, Kadri etc to this. And the caption STYLE ON 'EM.
