Isn't all of Toronto's young guys just "wishful thinking" too? Or does that only apply to us?

Larkin, athanasiou, mrazek, mantha, svechnikov, nyquist, Tatar

We don't have a third this year

Who are you?

I'm not saying he utilized stamkos properly. I'm saying the playoffs had nothing to do with how stamkos was played. Since he didn't play

So it's Jon coopers fault stamkos got a blood clot and only played in their last game and made it to the conference finals without their star center?

Damn. That sucks. Is Steve Thomas any good? Lol

Well probably trade down if bean gets picked before us

You must have missed the part where he didn't get $2 million of last year's salary because he's opting to go back to Russia, so Ya he's losing $7.5 million

Right. Cause we've NEVER had that type of player on the wings

Ya we get it next year for sure. No 3re round pick for us this year, via the zidlicky trade. Guy was selected in the third round, and we get him with our worse third round pick after he's had two 40+ goal seasons since being drafted. I'd say we win this deal big-time

It was 3 years, I misspoke when I said 2 years. But, I see your point, my point is Holland pushes for that 3 year contract believing that will stop pavel from leaving to Russia after his 1 year deal is over. I don't know how you can say %100 of the time a GM would want a shorter deal. There's lots of factors that go into finding the right deal on both sides. Younger players for sure want longer deals. But guys like datsyuk who are debating leaving to Russia might want the shortest deal possible. And yes he was talking about finishing his career in Russia before her signed the deal

What if Holland was the one who pushed the 2 year contract and datsyuk only wanted one year? And Holland told him if he wanted to leave early he could. Anyone think of that? Datsyuk has never been selfish, he's always put the wings first. Maybe I'm wrong, but we'll never know

I think what you mean to say is that fleury has ONLY been good in two playoffs. Other than that his numbers range from 2.40-4.63 gaa and .875-.915 sv%

Easy on paper. Plus I wouldn't keep z on the first line when his body clearly can't keep up

Yup. Here's the article http://www.thescore.com/news/1024439 Still on blood thinners though

Stamkos is practicing in a contact Jersey now

Would Clarkson HAVE to be protected if he's in the ahl though? And does that nmc still apply after they've been traded?

They won the president's trophy. Absolutely not. That's the problem with the league now. If you don't win the cup just fire the coach. Sure they had a sub-par playoffs. But they absolutely dominated all year. You don't fire the coach after the year they had. Would you have fired Bowman after 2 or 3 years, when we lost to Colorado in the conference finals?

Lol. After game 1 everyone was going on about how bad Tampa is and they'll be lucky to win a game. Now still without stralman and stammer and they have made easy work of the islanders

I'm pretty sure Dave and Chuck have been the #1 morning radio show for the last 10 years, which is why they were coaxed away from 89X and brought in to replace drew and Mike

Lol you know it's bad when the biggest bigot on the site is encouraging you and telling that your jokes are funny.

I can take a joke. Pretty much everything I do and say is either sarcasm or a joke. But there's certain things that just go too far. I'm not even remotely close to being the PC police, but certain "jokes" shouldn't be made. Main list includes, but is not limited to; Rape, abuse, special needs people and mocking people's children. I don't even mind some light racism against my nationality.

I'm Italian. I don't find him offensive. Your comment is offensive. But some poorly drawn character for bargain basement pizza does not offend me
