  1. I'm not sure you can equate the two really. He is almost certainly being offered more money to be with the Leafs, to do a job which might have no direct power but he will always be involved in player discussion and the war room etc. and this is a good job should he ever want to be a GM. Plus the upside of 'turning the franchise around' (even if he had very little to do with it) is probably a nice appeal compared to giving out punishments and having everyone whine. Although I'm sure the Leaf fans will do their fair share of whining regardless
  2. We definitely get one of Reinhart or Bennet. Honestly, I am not going to care which one it is really. But if we get first overall, and I am the GM, I pick Bennet
  3. Bennett for me is Toews. A smaller NHL player (he isn't small though) who plays hard and plays 200 feet. He is someone whose work attitude can carry the team, hockey IQ can stabilize a game and whose speed can break it open. However. I have not seen much of his real play (this is from reading scout reports and youtube) He is also really young (June birthday compared to October birthday of LD and November birthday of SR) - I think this makes a big difference
  4. I don't think Enroth and Hackett are out because of being run? I think it is just bad luck
  5. This is not aimed at you really, but it does amuse me that so many of us (me included) have this image that TN can turn anybody around. Like his super power is to give aimless wanders purpose. Let's trade for OV, Kane and Semin and watch Nolan turn them into Gretzky, Lemieux and Hull :P
  6. Could be minor injury
  7. This is what I thought as well. So do we want to be rooting for them to beat Calgary or not? Would we be better off with 8th next year than 5th this year kind of a thing I have a feeling it will be as much a business/PR move as it will a hockey one. The fact they are moving stadiums might also play a role
  8. They will know their order by the time they have to chose, so presuming they get the place they finish?
  9. Regarding the Islander's pick decision How big a difference does 4th place compared to 5th place make?
  10. Shockingly good players on bad teams don't have great seasons. Who'd have thought?
  11. Incorrect. They have Kassian.
  12. I didn't realise Lueiwen was so young. Ulmark, Leiwen, Enroth, Possler and Hackett - our goalie situation might be better than I thought
  13. Nice play by McCabe. Leino, well...oh Leino. In an ever changing world, Leino offers a life raft of stability. Unchanging. Unwavering. Unproducing.
  14. Foligno is gonna be out for the season. IMO
  15. Tropp, Myers, Ennis, Kassian, Girgensons and Pysyk (he is only in the AHL right now to help them - he has easily been top 3 D man for us this year) With Adam, McNabb, Grigorenko and McCabe all making showings. That really isn't bad. 6/19 are full time regulars 11/19 have made appearances
  16. Going from just video scouting to the biggest scouting department in the league should have some effect on the quality of the players we get, and thus the chance that they will pan out
  17. Miller and Emery get the shutouts. Shootout to determine the winner
  18. What is the length?
  19. Guess the mods are on holiday
  20. Sabres are on track for 54 points (the lowest in a decade) Sabres are on track for 156 goals scored (the lowest since 97/98)
