Going golfing for the first time in 3-4 years for a bachelor party tomorrow, and I'm kind of dreading it. I just want to drive the cart around and drink.

No need to feel dread! Just have fun, I imagine the scorecard will be the last thing on everyone's mind! Enjoy!
Didn't think I'd like my first golfing trip either, but honestly it's a pretty easy game to enjoy. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Ummmm I thought old man Murray orchestrated that. They were looking for D and somehow got a Dion.
Murray may have asked about Dion but it wasn't like Clarkson where the deal just landed in Nonis' lap. Lou negotiated the terms, especially the salary non-retention which was crucial.
Just speculating but it's also likely that Lou had been sending out feelers on moving Dion all season since that's obviously something they needed to do for the rebuild.
edit: From TLN lol
For all of Habs-Gaf that hates on Timmons for his Fishcer and Leblanc trade, here's a great article showing how good he is at drafting:
http://www.habseyesontheprize.com/n...ting-trevor-timmins-bergevin-amateur-scouting
Summed up, he's had average success with first round picks, which in part is due to we having picked 17th on average due to being so mediocre over the last decade, but he picks up in the 2nd and late rounds. Overall Montreal has the highest average games played by draft picks of any team since 2003, and are 8th overall in points per pick since the same time.

The thing is, people always come back with this "GP/picks" argument and that doesn't necessarly make him good... and of course he has the best pts/picks average, he just has more games played than anyone else in the league, but barely any of them have any meaningful impact
Again I don't blame him for everything. the couple of great players he drafted got traded, 2 of them in arguably 2 of the worst trades in the franchise history. BUT his first round picks were a big part of why this team had his darkest years and people always try to push that shit aside to defend him. You can't build on picks like Kostistyn, Chipchura, Perezhogin, Higgins, Komisarek, Fischer, Leblanc, Tinordi and Kristo. That is how you end up with what we've had and he's (in part) responsible for it. Everyone else got fired or left and yet he's still here because of that 2007 draft
stupid sexy timmins

Holland's ask is $2.1M, hahaha.
Someone claim him pls lol
Matthews is taking up the athletic slob mantle.
A 770? Soc, you deserve better, treat yo self.
Noooooooooooooooooooooo
The only thing he has to claim for himself is he'll have a spot wedged in between the leafs and marlies as depth and there really isn't anyone coming up on C. That's it.
The only reason he has a place this year is because Nylander is going to wing before going back to C.

I wouldn't mind if we gave Holland a PTO
Not possible; Leafs can't walk away from the arb award unless it's ~$4 million.

Yeah. Get a 480 or the 1060 at least.
Surprised they didn't hire Dubas' consigliere or one of his capos or his duke baron von magistrate. Lieutenant is good enough, I guess.
